We have now divided the survey in two parts, with the first one taking only 15-20 minutes to answer :) Please help us understand how UK pediatric #SLPeeps select intervention goals and content! #devlangdis #SLT

…if parents don’t act as expected from urban middle-class Western parents, they are then inadequate caregivers. If children do not perform well on tests measuring Eurocentric skills, they can be depicted as developmentally retarded. aeon.co/essays/the-p...

This was a labour of love and learning for our research team with @sarahmasso.bsky.social leading this work with a cool analysis that helped us as clinical researchers reflect more deeply on culturally responsive practice in paediatric speech-language pathology. Open Access. #bskySPEECHIES

My #MENinSLP/SLT starter pack (not "my men", but rather "my starter pack") is building VERY slowly, but I just added @achoi-tucci.bsky.social 🦋 #bskySPEECHIES go.bsky.app/CGppBcH #MENinSpeech-LanguagePathology/Therapy

Merry Christmas!

Thank you to everyone who has completed our survey on UK paediatric SLTs intervention planning. The survey will be open until 3rd Jan if you would still like to take part. If you would like to help, please complete our survey: bit.ly/3Z3DNWv Please share with others if you can #mysltday
