Please share to open doors for #ResearchCurious SLTs 🤩

Confused, and blinking into the light, the workers begin the weary pilgrimage of two factor authenticating, the end of which will herald the beginning of spring.

Our 10-15min online, anonymous survey on clinicians’ (and their assistants) and teachers’ views on #GestaltLanguageProcessing is still open.

It will close later in Jan - a month will be up by 20th Jan then we leave it open until responses wind down.

Feel free to share it!
