1/“Every interaction is an intervention” quote @dr_treisman has really shaped my practice in the last year as a SALT working w/YP who have experienced adversity. Got me thinking about the “small things” which are often actually big things that help a YP feel safe, seen &heard 🧵

"We urgently need an increase in SLTs & funding. SLT assistants could help bridge the workforce gap in the short term, however, barriers to CPD & leadership roles need to be removed, to ensure everyone with SLCN ... get the support they desperately need." https://t.co/805o3yc3t8

Love this 👇🏽 and I’d totally give him the point - not fussed about hearing a formal standardised answer. Let’s be pragmatic when scoring formal language assessments.
1/ Had a student today answer on the CELF5 USP Hurricanes para for what would happen if the weather forecaster didn’t predict the path answer “we’d be f*cked” but it’s not written as an answer, so technically would be a 0.
