slt research Flashcards
WHY do i want to be a salt
- bc dan was v left out -stutter- and one of the key values of royal college of slt is INCLUSIVE COMMUNICATION which reduces inequality and social isolation
- i like the idea of always being able to learn and the expectation that you’ll stay up to date w your field + new research etc
what is inclusive communication
Inclusive communication is an approach to communication which enables as many people as possible to be included in that interaction- applies to all modes of communication
it:
Recognises that all human beings use many ways of understanding and expressing themselves.
Encourages, supports and enables people to use whatever ways of understanding and expressing themselves which they find easiest.
how have i researched slt

- videos on RCSLT website
- wider reading- james law
- ZENKO- autistic child who learnt to speak at 14 months but as he got older he used less and less words until he was completely non verbal -saw a slt and gradually started communicating again- eye contact and other kids at nursery
why do i think slt is important
- gives everyone a voice
- empowers
- equality
