Sensory feedback plays an important role in our eating & drinking. Recognising flavours & tastes, aroma & texture provide swallowing clues. Strong flavours & alternating temperatures can also be useful. #WithSLTuCan

Reading this, I couldn't help but think about people living with dementia who also seem to be labelled every time they have a perfectly normal & rational grumpy day. Sometimes we become obsessed with perfection & can't see the difference between unmet needs and our differences

What is our USP and .. so what?. Thanks to Judith Broll #RCSLTConnectScotland
