Dr Roper recently received a Giving Voice Award from the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT), for her efforts in raising awareness of the importance of what speech and language therapists do and the challenges people with language problems face.
This included a range of work across social and wider media to help people during the pandemic, such as communicating effectively through face masks and how to look after one’s voice during conference calling.
