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!

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.

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

I shouldn’t be surprised about the lack of disabled people in the media in this discussion and yet. Radio1 just managed to have a ‘debate’ between two carers who are against mandatory jabs. If you’re covering this story and not interviewing care users, ask yourself why.

It's true..
We did put food parcels before education!

Interested to know the strength of feeling on this. Please RT if you're the parent of a 12-15 year old and would like them vaccinated asap. (Disabling replies to ward off anti vaxxers.)

Already been asked for 'comments' to send to media types focussing on the Plymouth shooter's #mentalhealth.
