To avoid doom scrolling, my Saturday morning routine is catching up on the Bulletin. Great to (finally) read this article from Kate Boot (she/her) Jess Davies and to see RCSLT 💙 giving guidance on LGBTQIA+ affirming work environments. I’m so looking forward to using this tool!

Happy Vaisakhi to our followers who are celebrating! 🎉

Here is some key vocabulary you can model to children and young people today!

Our SaLT Amy made a bubble snake in her stage 2 attention grabbing activity 🫧🐍

The children were so excited to see the bubbles appear and we had some lovely, very loud requests for 'more'! Love it Amy! 🤩
