The Twitter handle @WeSpeechies, and the associated hashtag #WeSpeechies, were founded on March 5, 2014 by Caroline Bowen @speechwoman and Bronwyn Hemsley @BronwynHemsley, both of whom are Australian Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs). The handle provides a curated meeting point, on Twitter, for SLPs, Speech & Language Therapists (SLTs) and SLP/SLT students to promote international professional communication. Its purpose is to facilitate mutual support, helpful connections, sharing of peer reviewed articles and relevant links to websites and blog posts, and opportunities for professional encouragement colleague-to-colleague worldwide, in all areas of practice.

Shoring Up Our Profession During #COVID19—
How have #SLP2B, #SLT2B and @WeSpeechies Experienced Clinical Placements in a Pandemic?
SLPs, SLTs, SLP2B, #SLPeeps: @WeSpeechies is Crowdsourcing
Responding to the #COVID19 (coronavirus) pandemic, @WeSpeechies is running a special Twitter project with the help of colleagues worldwide. We aim to CROWDSOURCE* INFORMATION and IDEAS and provide a platform where Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) / Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs) and the student (SLP2B SLT2B) community can:
- provide mutual support—emotional and practical;
- learn more about telepractice and connecting via video calls;
- assist those new to doing intervention activities, etc. online;
- discuss barriers and facilitators and technical issues;
- explore and troubleshoot service-delivery concerns;
- celebrate good-news stories;
- share information in client-friendly / reader-friendly formats;
- help to keep everyone’s focus on ethical, E3BP.
Follow @WeSpeechies (https://twitter.com/wespeechies), tweet your contributions with the #WeSpeechies hashtag (it’s not case-sensitive) and let’s see if we can develop a useful database and have fun at the same time. If you are not already in Twitter, you can sign up: HERE.
CROWDSOURCING* is a sourcing model in which individuals or organizations obtain goods and services, including ideas and finances, from a large, relatively open and often rapidly evolving group of internet users; it divides work between participants to achieve a cumulative result. Wikipedia

Chat Guidelines
Help #WeSpeechies’ Tuesday Chats work for everyone, including you
- Follow the @WeSpeechies handle.
- If you intend to Tweet more than a handful of times, let your followers know that you may be sending multiple tweets. That way they can ‘ignore you’ temporarily if the chat topic is not interesting for them.
-
During a Tuesday chat, add the hashtag (tag) #WeSpeechies to all your Tweets so that they can be aggregated. This means:
- everyone following the tag will see your contributions; and
- when the chat transcript is generated there will be fewer confusing gaps in the interactions.
- If your Tweets are protected (i.e., if you have a padlock on your handle), people who are not your followers will not be able to see your contributions to the chat. Please turn this protection off if you plan to Tweet into a #WeSpeechies chat. There are instructions for turning protection on and off here.
- Note that if you wish to, while a chat is in progress, you can engage in ‘side chats’ without the #WeSpeechies tag. You can review other conversations later. Side chats are not considered to be bad form!
- The @WeSpeechies administrators find TweetDeck makes it easier to participate in #WeSpeechies chats. Try it before the chat is due to start.
- Moderators: Do not schedule Tweets from the @WeSpeechies handle!
Rotation curation (#RoCur)
The the term 'rotation curation' means that the 'Curator' role rotates. In the case of the @WeSpeechies handle it rotates weekly, Sunday to Saturday, between clinicians and academics who are expert in their respective SLP/SLT fields, as well as @WeSpeechies followers who do not necessarily see themselves as 'experts' but who have interesting things to say and positive contributions to make. Not all Curators are SLPs/SLTs.
Volunteer to curate for a week, and moderate a chat
Please let @speechwoman or @bronwynhemsley know via Direct Message (DM in Twitter) if you are interested in taking a turn in the role of Curator. This involves administering the @WeSpeechies handle for one week (Sunday to Saturday), focusing on a topic within your area(s) of expertise or interest.
You would also moderate a twitter chat on the Tuesday in your week, from 8:00pm to 9:00pm in your time zone, or at another time that suits you, using the #wespeechies hashtag. For example, you might decide to run your chat from 8:00pm-9:00pm Tuesday, or 8:00am-9:00am Tuesday, in your time zone. Alternatively, you might be a located in a British time zone but decide to run the chat at 8:00-9:00pm Tuesday in a US time zone. As long as the chat happens while it is a Tuesday somewhere in the world, that's fine! It is all part of @WeSpeechies connecting and engaging internationally across time zones.
Please note that co-moderating chats, and co-curating a week is not permitterd. This means that only one person, other than the two administrators can take the handle (accessed via a unique password) at any given time.
A Curator is not there to 'educate and teach' others, but rather to engage and connect with others in professional discussion around a topics of mutual interest.
Twitterchats are themed, non-linear, fast-paced conversations using Twitter. Participants discuss ideas and ask and answer questions about a given topic. You do not need to be a 'Twitter expert' in order to curate, but it is sensible to participate in some chats before moderating one! The hour goes quickly and it can be hectic for the moderator. One or both administrators will be available to help, if you wish.
Chat topics
Topic areas of interest will include AAC, academic issues, aphasia, apraxia of speech, childhood apraxia of speech, children's speech sound disorders, conferences and meetings, clinical education, controversial practices, counselling and SLP/SLT, craniofacial differences, critical care pathways, doctoral studies in SLP/SLT, dysphagia, EBP, e-health solutions, ethics, fluency, engaging SLP/SLT students in Twitter and why, hearing impairment, humanitarian outreach in SLP/SLT, ICP2014, implementing change in your practice, independent/private practice in SLP/SLT, intellectual disability, interprofessional communication, language disorders, lifelong learning, literacy, motor speech disorders, multilingual matters, novel service delivery options, professional issues, RTI, research, social communication (pragmatics), social media for professional purposes, solo practice, stuttering/stammering, TBI, teamwork, voice, the student experience, working with nonverbal children, writing for professional purposes, and more.

Aims
The @WeSpeechies RoCur handle is primarily for clinically oriented discussion and information sharing, with an emphasis on evidence based practice. Most of its followers are #SLPeeps and #SLP2Bs from around the world who are interested to connect and engage with each other.
Over time the @WeSpeechies handle and #WeSpeechies hashtag will be used to connect across related disciplines and with the general public, including clients and their families and advocacy groups, so that people everywhere will know a lot more about who we are and what we do as Speech-Language Pathologists / Speech and Language Therapists.
Advertising and endorsement
An informal survey of speech-language pathologists, by the @WeSpeechies founders in March 2014, revealed that many are critical of the way the #SLPeeps hashtag (’tag’) is sometimes used. This is because it is now a target for advertisers and spam tweeters. Companies and individuals promoting products (e.g., Apps, books, commercially oriented blogs, competitions, courses, hardware, materials, "offers" including trial offers and free 'redeem codes' in exchange for favourable reviews, software, and special deals of various kinds, tools and toys) Tweet repeatedly, using #SLPeeps. They do so in order to attract the attention of SLPs/SLTs (SEE TOP INFLUENCERS HERE and SEE ALL INFLUENCERS HERE). Unfortunately, this has reduced the usefulness and credibility of #SLPeeps for those seeking focused, relevant, SLP/SLT-oriented exchanges of information, and personal and professional interconnections, that are (1) evidence based and/or (2) theoretically sound, and (3) non-commercial.
1. Policy on advertisers' and vendors' use of the hashtag, #WeSpeechies
As its founders, Caroline Bowen (@speechwoman) and Bronwyn Hemsley (@BronwynHemsley) want #WeSpeechies to be different. So, the first time a follower, or other handle, tweets advertising material using the #WeSpeechies hashtag we tweet back to them asking them not to do so again, telling them they will be blocked if they do. We will offer further explanation, by directing the person to this page, at that point. If they repeat their action, they are blocked without further ado. As administrators of the @WeSpeechies handle we find this difficult to do at times, as we often know and respect the colleagues and advertisers/vendors concerned, and realise they may be tweeting about products and using #WeSpeechies unaware of the implications. However, we will enforce this policy as we are committed to keeping #WeSpeechies focused on its raison d’etre.
2. Policy on product endorsement and the use of @WeSpeechies and #WeSpeechies
We request colleagues and associates not to include the #WeSpeechies hashtag or the @WeSpeechies handle in product endorsement Tweets. If linking to App reviews, book reviews, materials reviews, and the like (authored by you or by someone else) please first ensure that the review is composed in balanced, professional terms and does not imply endorsement, or suggest therapeutic benefit (e.g., avoid statements such as, 'the best App ever for AAC', 'ideal for SLI intervention', 'no SLP should be without this App / book', 'perfect for clients with Aphasia', 'the go to clinic for Voice patients'), or a 'cure'. If you do, you will be asked not to do so again, and if your action is repeated your handle will be blocked forthwith by the @WeSpeechies administrators.
3. Policy on advertisers' and vendors' use of the handle, @WeSpeechies
Advertisers and vendors may, of course mention and tweet to the @WeSpeechies handle. Furthermore we love to engage, connect and discuss topics of mutual interest via our handle (not our hashtag, mind) with our 'suppliers' - those who produce and sell the Apps, books, equipment, journals, materials, technology and so forth that are indispensable to us at work. But, just repeating, we ask you to please keep the discussions 'non-commercial' and keep the #WeSpeechies hashtag advertisement-free.
