Improving morale

This is a photo of a star just before it explodes, and has been appropriately named the Dolphin Head Nebula. Special good morning today, woke up to over 1k followers after posting on Twitter for less than a month. I love this place. Morning y'all 🥲

RT @LouiseD44986590 It’s crucial we’re not using negative language that can stigmatize autistic people. We need to listen to autistic people and learn from their experience. How is it ok for neurotypical people to decide what’s normal !? #ableism #neurodiversity

“Best measure of growth is being embarrassed by your old work” - quoted by Emily Hunt! I feel this quote too! #SPAConf

My wall was full of growth mindset quotes. It no longer represented who I am or what I believe. So I fixed it.

Something I saw today that warmed my heart. ALL people should have the ability to access and attend events that make life that much sweeter. Initiatives like these should be the norm. Thank you Coldplay for lighting the spark. Health care should be everywhere!

First day of adult hospital placement yesterday with Elizabeth Rogers! In preparation, I read this interesting article on the pragmatic abilities of individuals with schizophrenia. I look forward to advocating for the role of SP's in mental health. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Can’t wait for #SPweek2022. The fact that so many Australians live with a communication disability (which is very often invisible) highlights the crucial need for education, inclusivity and equitable access to services for all.

Observed my first #VFSS/#MBS today! I was very surprised at how fast paced the environment was, and how the SP suggested different maneuvers/strategies for the client to perform whilst doing the #VFSS. I found this article to be good revision before going in! #slp2b #GoSHspeech

Very grateful for my placement for providing me with a quiet room and making me a sign for when I need to pray.I know that me, Jinan Allam and Nawal Houssein have had to pray in some weird places! Always be open with your C.E’s and they will provide for you! #slp2b #GoSHspeech

Lunch breaks with a view Elizabeth Rogers. Can’t believe I’m halfway through already! Nerves are settling in for mid compass tomorrow 😬

Conducting my second communication ax today with Elizabeth Rogers observing. So rewarding to compare this ax to the first one I conducted and see how far I’ve come. Excited to continue improving in the upcoming weeks! #communication #slp2b #GoSHspeech

Good morning! Every day you have many small wins. Don’t lose sight of this because you're so focused on how far you still have to go. Notice the small wins. Celebrate the small wins. Be proud of the small wins and remember all those small daily wins start adding up over time! 👊

I finished up my final adult placement this week having the opportunity to look through and practice some adult #assessments with Elizabeth Rogers! It was a great experience to apply our theoretical knowledge and give the assessments a go!

Second day of my final paediatric placement carpooling with my favourite person Nawal Houssein 🫶🏻 Can’t wait to focus on refining my articulation therapy and conducting school based sessions! #paediatric #speechsounds #slp2b #GoSHspeech

Today is International Stuttering Awareness Day! #Stuttering is a physical condition which disrupts the flow of speech. This years theme for #ISAD2022 is “being seen, being heard - representation and normalisation of stuttering in the mainstream” Australian Stuttering Research Centre

Brushing up on my minimal pairs in preparation for all my articulation kiddies tomorrow! This article helped refresh my knowledge on the benefits of a MP approach #articulation #therapy #slp2b #GoSHspeech tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
