This is pure terrorism. This was incited by the highest level of office in the US. I am disgusted, saddened and scared for our country.

This year, my daughter #RachelHandlin was invited to submit an original short film to the inaugural #FeelerGaugeFestival, an online film fest with works by 32 CalArts alumnx & students. Rachel is an artist & photographer; her entry, "15 grains of sand," is her first film.

You can find the #FeelerGaugeFestival at feelergaugefestival.net. Because the filmmakers are all CalArtians, expect the works to be diverse, inventive, unexpected, irreverent, thought-provoking, & wildly original. Check it out & spread the word.

Also, at the behest of the #FeelerGaugeFestival's creators, all the films are captioned for accessibility. Yay! Whether or not you're one of the countless folks who said #CongratulationsRachel when she earned her BFA last May, pls join Rachel on her continuing creative journey.

Losing a patient is never easy. Just glad we supported his communication through much of his illness #patientprovidercommunication

The feeling you get when you find out one of your former clients is in PT school! #slplife #ASHA #speechtherapy #therapywin

A patient who was intubated and sedated told me today that he heard a lot of conversations during that time. And wishes people still greeted him when entering his #ICU room. Even though he could not show a response, he wanted to be included. #MedTwitter #ICURehab #CriticalCare

This is such a wise essay- about what real inclusion of disabled students is and why it matters- & about the ugly flip side, the profound harms that performative, pretextual, inspiration-porn tokenism wreaks. David M. Perry speaks for many of us, including my daughter and me.

“I have to focus on my mental health” - Simone Biles

He was studying to become a speech pathologist. I read that he chose this work after witnessing a friend with a speech difficulty get bullied when he was younger. May his memory be a blessing. #JelaniDay nydailynews.com/news/national/…

I loved #SimoneBiles already but #GoldoverAmericatour has made me love her more! Promoting mental health awareness and self love, helping those who have been sexually assaulted have a voice and strong representation shows that she is a #GOAT for more than just gymnastics. Thanks!

In the ICU today, we all thought a patient on the ventilator was trying to say, “I want to die.” Glad we clarified with an alphabet board. He really said, “I want to try.” Communication really can be life or death. #ICURehab #MedTwitter #NurseTwitter #COVID19

We are saddened by the passing of David Beukelman, one of our community's true Giants! Our condolences to his family, friends, and the many whose life he touched. A time will come when we can take some solace that his many scholarly contributions will continue to live on.

I read a suggestion that #BruceWillis should become the spokesperson for #aphasia. A person with a disability should never be expected to represent an entire group of people. #DisabilityTwitter #MedTwitter

"Supporting communication, providing education to family members, & interprofessional collaboration & creative problem-solving are essential to optimizing patient communication & humanizing the critical care experience for patients & their families" aacnjournals.org/ccnonline/arti…

We have compiled a list of materials created by other organizations throughout the world to support patient-provider communication for Ukrainian refugees. patientprovidercommunication.org/ukraine-suppor…

In the ICU today… Doctor: This patient couldn’t tell us what he would want because he can’t speak. Me: Nah. This patient couldn’t tell you because you were not using the communication board with him. #MedTwitter #CriticalCare #PalliativeCare

For #WorldDownSyndromeDay2023: Pablo Pineda, Rafael Calderon Almendros, Rachel Handlin. 3 adults with Down syndrome. 3 college degrees. Give folks w/intellectual disabilities support+opportunities. Whatever they do or don’t achieve, they deserve the same chance as all of us.

Thrilled to share hot-off-press from #PARKPICU International Journal of Speech-Language Pathology led by Rachel Santiago, MS, CCC-SLP 💬📱🤟🏽 focused on involvement of #SLPeeps in the #PedsICU bit.ly/parkpicuslp We must integrate these incredibly important consultants & expertise into our young patients' care! #ICURehab #cognition #PICSp
