Our symposium introduced by Suzanne Adlof. Comparing DLD vs dyslexia identification and services. Many potential gaps to fall through in DLD. Identification relies on someone noticing difficulties, asking 'could it be language?' and then referring to SLT/P services. #SSSR2024

Was interested to see what today is the day app is - look at the language they use surrounding ADHD. No my brain hasn’t been “fried” - “reduce ADHD levels” “you know that something is wrong inside you”

Quite shocked about seeing the CEO of RCSLT 💙 following the leading figure of right-wing ideology in the UK! #TommyRobinson #RacistRiots #Islamophobia

Literally 3 months ago, a white man fatally killed a young black boy with a sword. Did the whole of the UK erupt into riots because of this? Why not? Because WE understand that this one white man does not represent ALL white people. Some are good, some are bad. Just like EVERY

To my white peers and followers, check in on your friends and colleagues. Show solidarity and love with your communities. Call out institutions who remain silent. Demand more. Demand better. Be the ally that you pledged to be 4 years ago. 4/5

Anyone wanna have a go at justifying how participating in a race riot gets you two months but *planning* a *peaceful* climate protest gets you five years? Anyone at all?

A friendly reminder that being “apolitical” is a polite way of saying “I’m siding with the oppressor” Silence can be deafening.

It's heartbreaking to witness the ongoing race riots in the UK. I am DEEPLY ashamed of this country. My thoughts are with everyone affected. If you need someone to talk to or any form of support, please reach out. I'll do my best to help. We must stand together 🥹
