Remember - we all started somewhere and even after 10 years of being an SLT, I still don't know all the answers. So relax into it and enjoy putting your experience into practice! (4/4) #bcu #bcugraduate #slt2be #slt #speechlanguage #graduationday

3. You will doubt yourself at first, but that will only make you a better therapist. 4. Ask all of the questions - and don't suffer in silence if you are struggling. 5. Throw yourself into it and give things a go. You will only learn by trying a technique out. (3/4) #slt #slt2be

1. You know more than you think, but it's okay not to know everything on Day 1. 2. You don't need lots of fancy materials - sometimes just a whiteboard and pen is the most effective tool. (2/4) #slt2be #slt #speechtherapy #nqttips #nqt

Its sorting day at #adminweek. Time to go through our kits, re-stock any missing supplies, fix broken items and tidy up. Because let's be honest by Summer term everything gets put away in a rush so its nice to be able to take the time to organise #organisation #sorting #slt

Its admin week at Chatterboxes! We've finished our Summer term therapy blocks and spend the last week of term sitting down as a team completing paperwork, training, meeting our newbies for next year and discussing ideas and new techniques. #endofterm #adminweek #slt #slt2be

#Slts let's hear your guesses. How do you think our SLT Aimee used this dice to get a child to correctly saying their L sound for the first time consistently? It's simpler than you think! #slt2be #speechtherapy #speechtherapytips

We love toy animals in our toolkit. Its a kit staple. Here are just three ways we use toy animals in therapy sessions: - as game pieces - a visual cue syllable counting activities - sorting and categories Can you think of any more? #slt #slt2be #speechtherapy

For #LearningDisabilityWeek our SLT Ellie has 2 top tips around early communication. 📖 Curiosty or intensive interaction as an approach as the trainers have great insights 💜 Look at the signals they're sending beyond eye contact and facial expressions.

SLTs: don’t underestimate the power of a sticker. ✅ Low cost ✅ Universally adaptable ✅ Builds rapport in seconds ✅ Reinforces effort, not perfection It’s not just a reward — it’s a relationship-builder. Small tool, huge impact. 💬✨ #SLT #SpeechTherapy #SLTtools #SLT2be

Our Speech and Language Therapist, Olly, has been using this game to help add in some new vocabulary. Games are such a great way to improve engagement, and it can be as simple as a sheet of paper, a dice and a token. No fancy equipment required! #slt #SpeechTherapyTips

Our Speech and Language Therapist Ellie has been working with a Year 5 student on a speech he's giving to his class mates about his stammer. We're so proud of how much he's pushing himself and his desire to educate his friends #slt #stammer #stammering #speechtherapy
