1 day to go, & acutely aware that this time tomorrow I’ll be somewhere on the South Downs, probably in a state of fairly significant suffering, but hopefully still able to slightly enjoy the views and the experience!! See you on the other side… 😬 justgiving.com/page/helen-su…

Great day w visit from @SteveJamieson12 to @valefederation. A chance to discuss how we work in special schools & key issues around dysphagia, AAC & integrating SLT into classes. Perfect motivation for final weeks of training b4 this fundraising madness! justgiving.com/page/helen-su…

Friday is Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) Awareness Day On average 2 children per classroom have DLD. Most people I meet have heard of Autism, yet hardly anyone has heard of this. If you’re one of these people, I can recommend the article below: amp.theguardian.com/science/…

Thank you @BlenheimTri & @LL_Sports_Club for a great day out at @BlenheimPalace. Loved seeing the duck & goose families joining us on the course of #BlenheimTri 🥰 – at Woodstock, England

Excited to be getting ready for #bananatriathlon next weekend but really need those wave times to sort out logistics - can you help please @HumanRaceEvents ??? – at Abingdon, England

Sometimes #mySLTday is about downtime with family & (literally!) running off steam - w my sisters @JennyStanning & @crawford_upton prepping to relay #grafman #triathlon tomorrow. Stretching our legs today, all favouring #brooks @brooksrunning for the pre-race #run

When you have 2 small children and a clinical job but you want to be #researchactive, sometimes that looks like early mornings spent w tea and SSI transcripts; hoping the little darlings choose to lie-in… 🤞 #mySLTday

Having so much fun at Storytelling CEN W @lisntell; altho wondering what my husband (on his corporate videocalls!) is making of my practising speaking + gestures by saying “extinguished” repeatedly!!! 😂

Easter PECS session today & pupil made this sentence. I do have a wind-up rabbit in the box, but she meant it as a specifier (I usually have bubbles w a plain top - pupil definitely wanted the rabbit bubbles!). Such a lovely moment ☺️ @PECS_UK #mySLTday #autismawareness – at High Wycombe, England

Socially distant CPD on telehealth with @LondonPDCEN. Feeling sunny ☀️ & ready for the morning! – at High Wycombe, England

Busy day of muddy running + preparing for #StorytellingCEN on Tuesday to talk about @lisntell, Speech + Language Therapy, & Music Therapy – at Abingdon, England

Looking forward to an interesting + challenging day focussed on #devlangdisDLD as part of #CENadultsLD
