Being able to share how we are feeling and connect with others usually relies heavily on verbal communication. Melainie Cross talks more about this in her Podcast with The DLD Project : thedldproject.com/developmental-… #DLDday

Sophie talks about DLD as an adult (not just in those developmental years!) and how this impacts everyday life. Sophie describes her brain as a "messy bookshelf" and the effect of information overload. #DLDday thedldproject.com/dld-adulthood-…

Our #talkingmats licenced trainer, Alys, is back in action for 2025. This is a very exciting session as it is the first time she is training staff from one of the dementia wards. We can't wait to support the wider use of this resource within this client group!

A lovely morning doing a session with some of the new SWYPFT Forensic Service workforce this morning 🗣️👥🧑‍⚕️

Starting #NHWeek off strong with delivering our Dysphagia Training to our learners undertaking their Care Certificate yesterday. Lots of great discussions about the links between nutrition and hydration and the impact of dysphagia on this ahead of #SwallowingAwarenessDay today 🍽️

Was lovely to see Speech and Language Therapy represented in a number of categories at the SWYPFT excellence awards a few weeks ago 🏆Wonderful to catch up with colleagues from other services too🌟

It's #LoveYourLungsWeek! Did you know healthy lungs and good oral hygiene are linked to effective communication and swallowing? As SLTs, we see the connection every day. Let's champion both for overall well-being! #SALT #OralHealth
