Twitter/X is not my most favourite social media platform so I don’t hang about here too often! I will occasionally pop in but if you’d like to stay connected, please follow me on instagram @agrainofsaltni 😄


Assistive technology help needed! Anyone know if you can change the touch settings on the Tobii I-10 so that it only responds to finger touch? Child’s wrist is dropping and activating unwanted cells. A keyguard doesn’t seem to prevent this happening. @TobiiDynavox @rwgAT 😊🙏


Great thread 🧵💜

Autistic masking - a thread. 🧵

Aww thanks Jayne! So glad you found it easy to follow as I had a lottt to pack in to an hour 😂😀

Glad I found the webinar with @sazalder on AAC apps this evening. Really clear presentation and way of presenting and a nice reminder to reduce some of the paralysis and overwhelm that can happen when looking at the trillions of apps out there! Thanks Sarah.



24 hours until my AAC apps webinar! Still a few tickets available if you want to attend 😊

I’m running a little webinar giving an unbiased overview of many popular AAC apps and discussing what you should be looking out for in a robust communication system. I’ve trialed and used a lot of apps so I’m applying my personal experience! Tickets here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/aac-apps-wha…

It was so exciting to be interviewed for this podcast- ‘Diary of an SLT’. It’s out today! I talk about my passion for AAC and how it started (shoutout to the @AceCentre !), setting up a private practice and work life balance with an autoimmune disease 😊

So pleased to see this! As a student SLT 17 years ago I was nearly denied a place on the course for having a chronic illness, being told I may be a health and safety risk to other students 🤷🏼‍♀️🙈 thankfully I persevered!! Reasonable adjustments are human rights 🌟

Reasonable adjustments - a success story. #changeyourattitude #speechtherapy



If you’re setting up an independent practice, here are my top 5 must-haves! What would you add?! 🤔


Another day, another training session, another chance for Pixie to try to upstage me with her cuteness in the background 😹 #mysltday

I watched ‘Tell them you love me’ last night and found it fascinating but disturbing… it’s so important to ensure AAC is autonomous, not prompted or ‘facilitated’ as it can be misused with devastating consequences.If you’re an AAC Speechie, this documentary will make you angry


You’re never too young for AAC! I was working with a 2 and a half year old this morning who was selecting ‘again’ for his favourite super simple songs! #AAC

Super busy week including… A training session for a group of parents from the National Autistic Society about AAC; lots of office appointments and online sessions, being a guest on a new SLT podcast with the lovely Ruth Crampton 😀 happy Friday everyone!

It’s sooo important to support an AAC user with their literacy skills too! This was a fun little fishing game this morning- catching a fish, then matching the letter on the keyboard. We even had a go at producing some of the sounds 😍👏 #aac #mysltday

This arrived today! Can’t wait to get stuck in 😊

Child led sessions are so varied and can take you down avenues you never expected… this week it was half an hour of listening to Beyoncé’s Texas Hold ‘Em and chatting about it using SimPODD 😂 I particularly liked being told to ‘hurry up!’ 😂😀
