I'm in! I couldn't wait to show you the new place. Thanks to my other half for carrying pretty much everything ❤️ We enjoyed every moment and didn't argue at all 😂😂
I'll be spending most of the week getting everything ready for my lovely clients - pics to follow!

Work has been pulling me in lots of different directions lately and I keep forgetting to post!

Last week I completed level 1 PROMPT training - expanding my tool kit for children with speech disorders and childhood apraxia of speech 💬

It gave me a new outlook on both assessment and treatment. I tried some of the prompts with a child this week and she was immediately making clearer sh, ch, j sounds 😍

I'm so glad I did it, and I loved exploring Hammersmith too!

Happy Halloween! Here are some of the activities we enjoyed this week 🎃👻🦇

A highlight for me was when a little boy got to look at a page on his AAC device that he'd never seen before. He loved pressing "ghost", and then interacted with the device much more than he has in recent weeks! That is why we teach fun vocabulary, as well as 'functional language'. 😎

It was a privilege to speak at the event for families last week, about masking in neurodivergent children 🌈

There were so many brilliant exhibitors and speakers, and it was great to see all the children and professionals who work hard to support SEN children under one roof ❤️

Thank you to for organising this event which is so important for families🙏

📣 NOW more than ever, it’s crucial to apply for an EHC Needs Assessment 💥

With all the uncertainty around the ongoing SEND reforms, one thing is clear: change is coming and not all of it may be in favour of families.

⏳ Right now, the current legal framework gives you the right to request an EHC Needs Assessment if you believe your child needs more support than what’s currently being provided through SEN Support.

But with constant headlines about new systems, tighter funding and reform trials rolling out across the country… 😬 We don’t know how much longer these rights will stay the same.

👩‍👧 Whether you’re just starting your journey or you’ve been considering it for a while, don’t wait. The EHC process can take time and securing a plan now could offer your child the long-term support they need, before any changes take effect.

💬 If you’re unsure where to start or need support with your application, reach out we’re here to help.

I'm having a little break and won't be able to respond to messages. I'm returning to work on Tuesday 5th August 💖🐝

Three examples of how I used AAC in my sessions today. The children are all at different stages of their language development 🌈

When I'm introducing AAC, I don't think about whether it's 'functional' any more. The most important thing to me is that the child is having fun, and saying what's meaningful to them!

Also, notice how all of these children are 'verbal' AND using AAC is NOT hindering their speech. Funny, that 😉

This is my favourite page (and the same goes for many of the children I see). We must model many ways to say 'no', that are clear and unmistakable. Self advocacy is one of the most important skills in developing independence and staying safe 💪

I met with Rachel and the team at The Communication Workshop in Orpington today, to get some insight into how larger SLT businesses work.

We previously worked together in the NHS and it was wonderful to see how far they've come in a relatively short amount of time!

It was also invaluable to connect with other SLTs and hear their candid thoughts on delivering a service that works for everyone.

I am always so grateful to be part of a profession without competition, where everyone wants to help each other out! ❤️
