We have many aspiring author illustrators in our school. This Year 1 author was extremely proud of her tiger illustration, she said it took a very long time! What do you think? @jabberworks @philipreeve1 We can’t wait for you to meet her! @clpe1 #illustration #readingforpleasure

#BetterConv2021 @BCAphasia in CPT we’re taking away people’s habits. We need to provide an alternative ….unpack what can people do differently…build up new routines. One of many take home messages so far. Thank you @dr_epower

My action intention from #BetterConv2021: consider how to address the loss & grief a person with communication difficulties and their conversation partner might experience as their conversations change. Thanks @volkmer_anna for raising this important point @BCPPAphasia

Totally agree with the importance of doing this, ensures everyone is clear about what is expected which helps with commitment to the therapy

After the #BetterConv2021 workshop I am going to turn my knowledge into action by setting expectations right at the beginning of the intervention, discussing expected commitment and roles of all parties @CoastalSLT @BCAphasia @BCDParkinsons
