A Pinch of SaLT

A Speech and Language Therapist's (SaLT) musings.

Really disheartened to see misinformation spread regarding literacy today. I was informed that 'phonics doesn't work for learners who aren't a Gestault level 4 or above'. This is so harmful for our clients on so many levels 😪

A trend I often see is young people who have been exposed to English for 10+ years called 'EAL' and their difficulties are written off because English wasn't their first language. Bilingualism is a strength, and if someone has lang diff after 10 years- it's not because of the second language! #EAL

We held a Speech Therapy Department Share & Learn day today - what an absolute joy to be surrounded by such talented, ambitious & thoughtful colleagues. Super important moment in coming together & celebrating each other's achievements 💙 Do you have department days too?
