This is what we’re up against: “The very people making indefensible SEND decisions [for EHCPs] are now advising central government that it’s the Tribunal itself that’s the problem. Not them. And, shockingly, central government is listening” specialneedsjungle.com/55-ri…

NEW POST Many LAs are slashing Post-16 transport, meaning disabled young people can't get to college safely. A new report says 65% of specialist colleges had learners missing the start of their course through transport issues. Ruth Perry @Natspec explains specialneedsjungle.com/true-…
In terms of creditable research, the behaviourist approach has always been found wanting, rooted in a place of evidence-lite ideology. However, this important area is always explored, with international, peer-reviewed studies in the @SebdaOrg journal

In follow up chat with Vicky Waghorn, she confirms the children and young people with SEMH and Autism have shown significantly increased engagement in literature study. They have also, topically, enjoyed attending the lessons!
