It is AHP day! a day to recognise and celebrate our amazingly diverse and impactful AHPs. SLT may be a small profession but we are fabulously creative and inspiring. Here is a little taster of how SLTs in Sheffield are embracing the 10 year plan and demonstrating their impact.

October is AAC Awareness Month so I’m going to try to post about this at least a few times a week. Starting with the upcoming sales on apps. Lauren Enders Gonzalez always makes a great graphic for this event! #AugComm #SLPeeps #BskySpeechies #AACAwareness2025
Graphic displaying all the sales on AAC apps & services that are happening on various days/weeks in October. I don’t think I can transcribe all of that into this alt text space but please DM if you need more information
