We are doing a survey to understand why other professionals do/don't refer people with Primary Progressive Aphasia for speech-language support

We want Drs, nurses, psychologists, social workers, OTs, PTs & any other profession.

The survey can be accessed here: qualtrics.ucl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_...

#ResearchTuesday! Language exposure at home and school contribute differently to bilingual language development. This article in #JSLHR shows the importance of exposure to both languages. Read more: https://at.asha.org/MG @sigperspectives.bsky.social @csdisseminate.bsky.social #SLPeeps

Definitely! There seem to be so many areas in speech and language therapy where more research need is needed!

Over the last few years there is some study underway on the practice of oral trials in hospitals, but as far as I know nothing yet on their use in the community. So I’m hoping to generate something. Two recent articles done in the UK focus on adult practice but don’t explicitly say so…

I’m looking at adults … I have the impression it’s an underresearched area for paediatrics as well…

If any #bskyspeechies can help gather research data (via online focus group)on this under-researched area, please email me: [email protected]

Really enjoyed this week’s ’Foundations of neurology’ course at the Institute of neurology @uclqsion.bsky.social ! I learnt a lot and met some lovely people. I’d recommend it to other early career #bskyspeechies

Hi Cheryl, I’m in my final year of SLT study at age 60 so from where I’m standing, you are a whippersnapper 😁 Don’t underestimate the great insights that your life experience gives you and the enormous range of settings you could find work in. You’re so nearly there now, please don’t lose heart ❤️ ❤️
