Interesting new attendance report published by Department for Education. Unsurprisingly, year on year patterns are persistent: poor school attendees maintain negative trends, but it seems more amendable to change in primary than secondary school. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/681db6...

Why do newer university buildings tend to be more autism-accessible? Key issues: poor signage, overwhelming sensory environments, & few navigation aids. Simple adaptations could dramatically improve university experiences for autistic individuals. What would make YOUR campus experience better? 🤔
