✨ Reflecting on my journey with Symbol ✨ What I truly appreciate is that Symbol doesn't see the things I struggle with as weaknesses. They help me through the challenges and celebrate the things I do well. 🙌

Our therapist Libby was there: 🗣️ “I shared how speech and language difficulties affect young people, and introduced tools like the communication passport.”💛✨ #YouthJustice #SpeechAndLanguageTherapy

Andrea Woodcock and Jo Gawn, two of our speech and language therapists from our Down syndrome service have had a fun week at the farm with kids and the team from 21 Together. It’s been a great reminder that speech and language therapists can work on communication anywhere!

🎉 Abi, one of our Speech and Language Therapists, recently completed a training session with mainstream schools, supported by the Youth Justice Service. The feedback has been really positive! 🙌 A big thank you to everyone involved! We look forward to continuing this important work. 💪

Thank you so much to @marlowlib (Marlow Library) for hosting our Symbol #devlangdis drop in event today. @amandafiner and @libertyhale spoke to children, teens, parents and grandparents about language disorder and the impact, and raised awareness of speech and language therapy.

Our recent staff survey asked our speech and language therapy team to choose one word that best describes Symbol's culture. The word cloud says it all—this is why we love being part of Symbol! 💙 If you’re interested in joining us, contact us: symbolconnect.co.uk/speechandlanguage
