Hi Twitter, my younger sister is blind and is struggling with her psychology degree, are there any blind academics out there (not necessarily psych) who can give her some tips and pointers around reading/researching for her assignments?

Thanks Helena Duncalf for your letter to @rcslt_bulletin clarifying "spikey profile" does not = disorder & not an effective indicator of aetiology or prognosis Love your last sentence re describing strengths and difficulties to meet needs & treat as individual not a label

On your last point though, after 4-5 years, language skills are actually pretty stable, so disordered=lifelong vs delayed=transient may be ok as distinction in older children. Although, in older child any transient difficulties would no longer be present, so diagnosis easier

This Parisian lady who went into lockdown for three months elsewhere, then returned to her city apartment to find potatoes had taken over her kitchen has me concerned for the Trees exhibition at Hayward Gallery & there may now be an uncontrolled forest ripping apart the concrete.

I’m here as my daughter has #SelectiveMutism. From an early age she was different, but it wasn’t until I started working RCSLT 💙 that I found there was a name for her range of behaviours (sadly it’s not well-known). What about you? When did you become aware of #SelectiveMutism?

#givingvoice to #SelectiveMutism is vital if we are to end the misunderstandings & myths that can lead to inappropriate interventions and poor outcomes - preventable with good education. Pleased to be doing just that with City Language & Communication Science students this month #slpeeps #slt2b

Great to have met this year's Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust Trainee Leadership Board. It was really encouraging to witness the initial engagement with the challenge theme they'll be working on over the next 4 months. Very promising already 👍 Anam Choudhry Neil Macdonald Daniel Leveson #BHT2021TLB

Following a discussion about the Lidcombe programme, I plan to write a piece about this approach. I'd love to hear from anyone who stammers who had this 'treatment' as a child. Please reply, DM or email [email protected]

Thrilled to hear our SALT student Robyn Foster from Uni of Reading won the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme award for her support in our ‘research in action’ re: language disorder. Proud to enable students to contribute to ‘in the field’ research #AHPsDeliver 🌟

Wonderful to work on this and excited for what it could lead to in adding Qs re "how much therapist time" is needed to dosage research. Well done Robyn Foster
