I never thought supervision could look like this. A weekend in nature, with friends who teach me so much. In the world of speech therapy, supervision is an essential requirement. It’s how we reflect, deepen our practice and roll with the punches.

Thanks @sltstories for suggesting a peer supervision campout. To be repeated please! #SpeechTherapy #ClinicalSupervision #ButMakeItOutdoorsy

When I’m not in the water I think ‘I should quit this surfing thing. It’s silly and tricky, time-consuming and impractical.’

When I stand on the clifftop I think ‘It’s not worth it. Too messy and blown out. Too small/too big.’

Then I paddle out and I remember that every single moment is worth it. It is tricky and time-consuming and impractical. And it makes me grin and laugh and feel so playful. Why would I quit that feeling?

Where are the spaces that you can use your privilege to extend a welcome to others? Belonging is a reallll good feeling 🤗 and it’s easy to forget that not everyone feels that way in the places you do.

Much love to the Island lads for extending a surfy welcome to me over the years.

It feels like such a privilege that CPD, supervision and support is baked into our work. Here’s a few suggestions on how to make the most of your supervision sessions. There’s definitely more… What else would you add.

Stories make the world go round! And everyone deserves to hear stories that light them up.

Thank you @thesensoryprojects.co.uk for sharing so many stories and great ideas at last week’s @asltip conference.

It was a reminder to pare those stories right back, be genuinely ambitious in finding something to capture the attention, and start with ‘1 and many’ before complex algebra….
