Exciting to be at the 2025 ASHA meeting with Lauren Murphy. We shared evidence & learning from people with laryngectomy around when SVR doesn’t go to plan. This topic stimulated great audience discussion @imperialbrc.bsky.social @gemmaclunie.bsky.social

I’ve recently started a YouTube channel and hope to share some clinically useful videos, focused on Speech Sound Disorders and CAS.
My first video is a walkthrough of the DEAP, how to use the summary screen and the various subtests. Please share!

Enough. Farage is a racist menace. We must say so.

The attack on the Manchester Jewish community is devastating.

No ifs, ands or buts.

People being killed through hateful violence is abhorrent.

My heart goes out to the victims, their families & everyone living in fear because of this cruelty.

Grief must bind us closer not drive us further apart.
