The Link Live 2023 a day of CONVERSATION, INSPIRATION and INNOVATION!

Speech and Language Link’s annual event was once again hosted by Kate Freeman, consultant – speech and language in education, and the fantastic line-up of presentations kicked off with a keynote from Professor Courtenay Norbury on the impact of development language disorder (DLD) on education and life outcomes.

Mushy Asghar from Channel 4’s “Educating Yorkshire” talked about his life-long stammer and how the incredible support from his teacher enabled him to become the public speaker he is today. A great motivator for school staff indeed.

We were also joined by OT, Kim Griffin; SaLT, Sidonie Delaney; and Georgina Durrant, former SENCo, author and founder of SEN Resource Blog, who all provided practical ideas and tips for delegates to take back to the classroom.

The conversation between the delegates in the live chat buzzed throughout the day with questions and the sharing of good practice.

Great News!

The Link Live has now received accreditation from CPD UK, meaning delegates can count it as 7 hours of CPD.

“It was an absolutely brilliant day. To listen to such talented and erudite speakers and to share the time with others who are passionate about speech and language was enlightening and a joy. The length of each session was just right, allowing time for Q&A and some breathing space in between. The chat feed was great as we were able to interact with each other throughout. Thank you!” – Link Live delegate
