Meet James, his family and Tracheostomy Ted! They were the first family to benefit from Ted when James experienced a bleed on the brain. Ted helped James' young children understand why their daddy needed a tube to help him breathe while he was recovering: orlo.uk/BBth7

Frustrating example of poor communication access. All public-facing businesses should have the knowledge & skills to support people with communication difficulties. A great training & access symbol initiative is offered by @RCSLT #DisabilityTwitter communication-access.co.uk/

This resource is great for #SLT groups and 1:1 therapy! Accessible for patients of all abilities; from supporting cause & effect development for #PDOC to high level language or #CCD groups. The possibilities are endless! Thanks @lifesizetouch !

We've got THE BEST #FridayFeeling! @lifesizetouch have installed 3 interactive screens to enhance our patient & family experience. Patients can use them for life-sized video calls, and our therapy teams will use them in patient rehab exercises - how cool is that?!

When do you 1st consider completing capacity Ax with patients w/ non-progressive ABI about the decision to follow dysphagia recs? When showing signs of non-compliance? When recs are long term? When risky? All recs? @MCAsupporttool @volkmer_anna @Londongodber @RCSLT @StGSpeechies

.@JoeBiden and I agree that pain is best overcome by purpose.
I still struggle to speak, but at tonightβs #DemConvention, I made my voice heard.
For the safety and future of our country, we must elect @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris.

So pleased to have been part of your journey @sophieMallon_
Swallowing is something that most of us take for granted but when you couldn't, you never stopped fighting for your goal to eat and drink again - however long it took! #rehabworks
