Create a National Strategy for Childhood Apraxia Of Speech (CAS) petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

I saw it on the 7pm bulletin of ABC News NSW on Sep 16 (iView VIC iview.abc.net.au/show/abc-new...). Very nicely done💐. It's so sad to see how things turn out for speech, language, and literacy when children do not receive timely intervention for CAS. @tricmc.bsky.social #apraxia 🦋 #bskySPEECHIES

In CAS therapy, avoid segmenting It creates robotic speech Use simultaneous productions, multisensory cueing, chaining Focus on movement between sounds for natural, intelligible speech #Apraxia #SLP #MotorSpeech speechapraxia.co.uk/about-sauk/f...

@tricmc.bsky.social @mmasnick.bsky.social Please can you add @speechapraxia.bsky.social to your starter packs for CAS. Thank you!

Great to have a UK organisation focussing on Adults with Speech Apraxia. Head over to X to find out more @SpeechApraxia

Our world of obscure acronyms and short forms! I like #ChildApraxiaSpeech myself but curious re others!

Free access to research right away?! We like the sound of that! Starting July 1, all peer-reviewed journal articles resulting from National Institutes of Health-funded research must be made publicly available immediately upon publication. #SLP #AuD #speechlanguagepathology #audiology #CSD #OA #OS

Sounds like a great project. Anyone interested? #bskySPEECHIES #DevLangDis

National Speech Pathologist Day is coming up. Meet a local expert making a difference and learn why early intervention matters 👇 #Laredo #SpeechTherapy #SLP #NationalSpeechPathologistDay

Having had speech therapy for many years, I can tell you that these people do an incredible job. Giving a voice to those who don't feel like they have one. We are truly indebted to you all. Thank you. #StammeringPride

Happy National Speech & Language Therapist Day! The work speech therapists do truly changes lives. Give your speech and language therapist a shout out in the comments. Let’s celebrate them. Thank you. 💙

On this National SLT Appreciation Day, a huge shout out to ALL SLT's for the work you do. 💙

(3/3) Adults with lived experience are helping us do better. Their courage is a gift. When they say: 🗣 “Support me to communicate my way.” 🤐 “I wasn’t unwilling—I didn’t feel safe.” 🎙 “No one asked what I wanted to say.” we must listen—with openness and humility. 💛 #LivedExperience #Neurodiversity

(2/3) Adults with learning disabilities, apraxia, or motor speech challenges. Many are now sharing their stories—on social media, in research, or as parents in therapy sessions. They show us what helped, what hurt, and what they wish had been different. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #SLP #Neurodiversity

(1/3) 🧠 Listening to lived experience matters. As an SLP, the most powerful insights I’ve gained haven’t come from textbooks—they’ve come from adults who’ve been there. Those who stutter. Autistic adults. People who’ve lived through selective mutism or been “reluctant talkers.” #SLP #Neurodiversity

18th May, National Speech & Language Therapist Appreciation Day Such a great idea! 💙

2/2 #SSD👎, #CAS👎, and #DLD👎 get the thumbs down because they are ambiguous since they are widely used for other things. Similarly, #MSD👎 #SLT👎 and #SLP👎. 🦋 #bskySPEECHIES 👍 🦋 #SLPeeps 👍 could use a bit of uniformity where (diagnostic) categories are concerned. Would love some discussion re this.

A great way to raise Awareness of Apraxia this month is by an awareness frame. Mikey has very kindly offered to do awareness frames, just ask, and send a photo to @mikeys-wish.bsky.social It would be just Amazing to see lots of blue Apraxia frames on social media this month. 💙
