Forest School and SLT | Sustainable Healthcare Networks Hub

I am a 2nd year SLT undergraduate and my choice of research project this year is Forest School and the role of the SLT. I am interested in how outdoor therapy could contribute to the sustainability agenda through encouraging pro-environmental attitudes and empowering clients to be part of the climate change conversation. I think Forest School could be used as a setting for paediatric intervention and collaboration with Forest Schools could help support speech and language development. I wondered if others are having similar thoughts and whether we could connect

I love this idea. I am an SLT working with adults so unfortunately can't help but maybe if you post this again under the SLT network you may get even more responses .
