These are my own thoughts, except the RTs, which I wish were mine.

I say that a mistake we are making in education is that we are pretending that young people are essentially all the same, and that their needs can be met with a standardised package of education. We treat them as blank slates, as buckets to be filled. 2/

Lakers is a social and recreation Club in Bray, Co. Wicklow, looking after individuals with intellectual disabilities, with 300+ members and 60+ classes a week. Fire destroyed their premises in 2018, they are now close to building a new home. Any donations would be amazing!

Agreed. How about DLD or Autism? No need to single out conditions. They can ALL present a barrier to learning. Address the SEND system in its entirety. The system is fundamentally flawed. A 51 week for tribunals is just one example of how broken it is.

Exactly this. No increase in funding and thousands of pounds needed for deserved salary increases. Special schools due to staff numbers are going to be the hardest hit.

Why #TheQueue is part of Britain's Covid Recovery - or else Britain's Covid Recovery Decline. And why I think the media should be talking more about this. A THREAD.

🧵Heard about a WIZZ BANG TREATMENT for #DevLangDis? Smelling a 🐀❓Even so you might think ‘it won’t hurt so let's try it.’ But what about the potential opportunity cost⁉️- the time, effort, hope,💰, etc. that might be better invested elsewhere. dldandme.org/how-to-steer-cl… @DLDandMe

If a rule you've got makes it harder to be inclusive, consider changing the rule rather than changing the children.

Just wondering if anyone has used the metalinguistic bit of the #CELF5 yet? Is it useful for #ASD assessment (post diagnosis) and for students with complex needs. #salt #slt #speechies
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek
In 1916, after the Austro-Hungarian artist Oskar Kokoschka was rejected by his lover, composer Alma Mahler, he had a this life sized replica doll of her made. He wrote that the “point of all this for me is an experience which I must be able to embrace!” Thread

As an NHS consultant oncologist, I would like to clearly state that the NHS doesn’t need the help of private Rutherford Centres to deal with the cancer backlog. It will result in further loss of key #NHS staff to the private sector, and reduce #NHS diagnostic & treatment capacity
Dozens of cross-party MPs have signed a letter to be delivered to No 10 today demanding action on the cancer crisis. Rutherford's not-for-profit offer would enable tens of thousands of patients to access our world-class facilities. A solution which could immediately help.
