I am recruiting participants for my study about promoting the social inclusion of autistic girls in school. The study is underpinned by the neurodiversity paradigm and centres the voice of autistic girls.

💡 Thought-provoking ideas on how to talk about neurodiversity without relying on medical/deficit language - a model for us from Sonny Jane Wise in the form of the Neurodiversity Smorgasbord 🤩 How do you speak of difference? #EdPsychs #edusky

This inspirational story of an educational journey, that started at a PRU but ended with a DPhil from Oxford, is food for thought around closing doors, systemic injustice and second chances: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m... #edpsychs

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this: Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius. If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

Thank you for the music Bristol NOYO Ensemble (noyo.org.uk/the-orchestra/). Your joy and wonderful energy were contagious! A small example of the valuable and inspiring contributions young disabled people can make to our world.

Just finished Katriona O’Sullivan’s #POOR. It is excellent! Its main strength lies in its ability to convey so vividly the reality of growing up in poverty. If every professional working with children knew the problem in such detail, one would hope that outcomes for the children would improve.

I do find it interesting when 'evidence informed' meets evidence that doesn't fit with the narrative. There's loads of evidence that movement supports learning. Just because that doesn't match how some people think education should look doesn't make it untrue. 🤷‍♀️
