Yesterday was an exciting day...I submitted my research thesis investigating people’s views and usage of straws, and thoughts on the #StrawBan. A big thank you to my supervisors @BronwynHemsley and Brad Murray; I wouldn’t be here without you. 🎉 #SLP2B

I just finished presenting my findings into people's views and use of plastic straws at the #GoSHSpeechSEER. I have never presented at an event like this before, so it was an exciting (and nerve-wracking) experience. Thanks @GoSHspeech and @BronwynHemsley for this opportunity!

I have just finished the first day of my final adult clinical placement! 🗣🧠👂🤓 Thanks @LucyEBryant @CathGregorySP and @RosieSPooley for a great first day of orientation. #FourWeeksToGo #SLP2B

I'm really looking forward to presenting some of the findings from our #StrawBan survey. @BronwynHemsley #SLPResearch

I'd love to hear your opinion on 3D Printed Food at your restaurant or café or catering business in a short online 10-minute survey! Click here: https://t.co/v58u4l6PzI @bronwynhemsley @stephenDann @c3dprintio #catering #cooking #3Dfoodprinting

Thanks @lilypartridge, I appreciate the support! x

Do you use a straw to drink? Do you have a swallowing difficulty? Which kind of straw do you prefer? What do you think of the #StrawBan? If you'd like to share your thoughts, please complete this survey for my research project: https://t.co/CgeNUOfSmD #SLPResearch

Please help me get to 100 survey responses! A huge thank you to everyone who has already completed my survey. If you would like to share your views and experiences using plastic straws, and thoughts on the #StrawBan, please complete!

What do you think of the #StrawBan and plastic straws? Do you use a straw to drink? Let us know if this 15-minute survey! https://t.co/CgeNUOfSmD #Dysphagia #SLP2B #Research

I am completing a research project into people’s views about straws and the potential environmental impacts. If you have a spare 15 minutes, please complete it! #SLPResearch #SLP2B

Celebratory photo for finishing our final class! 🎉 Thank you to everyone who helped us through our two-year Masters at @GoSHspeech, especially @dr_epower and @speechbloke for teaching our final subject. We’re so close now! #SLP2B

"...So if you have to use a straw and you want to reduce your environmental impact, consider carrying a reusable, stainless steel one next time"...Another article about the #StrawBan that doesn't consider the needs of people with dysphagia or other disabilities.

Hooray for finishing our Clinical Placement 2! 🎉 Thank you Capable Kids South Coast and @lilypartridge for making this placement such a wonderful experience. #SLP2B

I have a very long drive to get to placement so have been passing the time by listening to a Harry Potter audiobook narrated by Stephen Fry....thanks to @CathGregorySP’s Voice classes, I now think about whether he had enough vocal rest while recording the audiobook! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Great video from @DeltaGoodrem highlighting how debilitating loss of voice and loss of communication can be (especially if your livelihood depends on it!).

I’m really excited to be completing my Speech Pathology Research Project into people’s views and experiences of plastic straws. #WatchThisSpace

Go Mum! #thnxnurses #covid19

Just like teachers, #slpeeps need to be aware of Australian Aboriginal English as a recognised dialect in Australia. Makes a difference in our appropriate assessment and treatment of #language #DevLangDis. Shouldn't just be assessing in Standard Australian English
