Lets talk Neurodiversity 🌈 There’s no one “right” way to think or learn Inclusion means adapting our systems so neurodivergent children feel understood, belong, and can thrive. #Neurodiversity #InclusivePractice #EducationalPsychology #Belonging #Edpsychs

Feeling energised after the Eastern Region EP Conference Brilliant to connect with so many dedicated EPs & colleagues. A stellar #DNAV session from @duncanjee.bsky.social has given me new ideas for practice! So valuable to reconnect and reflect on our future as EPs #EducationalPsychology #CPD

Supporting a child or young person with #SituationalMutism? I find the PACE attitude transformative in support CYP: 🧸 Playfulness eases pressure 🤗 Acceptance builds worth 🤔 Curiosity understands feelings ❤️ Empathy ensures they're not alone #Edpsychs #SEND #PACE

Seeing theory in action is powerful. Weaving MI into my work has been transformative. Shifting from expert to guide, from telling to evoking, is key! YP build their own plans. Empowering for them, and a vital reminder for us #MotivationalInterviewing #Edpsychs

Circle of Friends... It empowers pupils to build empathy & transform school culture for everyone involved. A structured process that fosters genuine, inclusive friendships. An approach I highly recommend. #CircleOfFriends #Inclusion #SEND #Edpsychs

🚀 Beyond ACEs: Let's talk Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs)! PCEs are everyday moments of connection & safety that build resilience & buffer against adversity. They're the strengths-based approach we need 👇 #PCEs #Resilience #Edpsychs

New UK study of 16k people ACEs like abuse, neglect & conflict have a profound lifelong impact Strongest links: poor mental health & severe pain at age 50. 4+ ACEs significantly increase risk Our work in schools is vital to build resilience & break the cycle #ACEs #Edpsychs

The power of "yet" is transformative😍 As an educational psychologist, I see how a #GrowthMindset helps students shift from “I can’t do this” to “I can’t do this YET”. It builds resilience, reduces anxiety, and unlocks potential. #Edpsychs #UKEducation

Dr Keith Houghton @ephoughton.bsky.social · 21/08/2025

I truly believe every UK classroom should experience #WOWW. It’s an incredibly positive intervention to use and has such a positive and lasting impact on both the children, young people and staff. #Edpsychs #SEND #EducationalPsychology

I’ll be honest… I LOVE LEGO®-Based Therapy! It’s not just an intervention, it’s a game-changer for: ✅ Social communication ✅ Friendships ✅ Emotional regulation ✅ Confidence & creativity EVERY child benefits, not just neurodiverse kids! #Edpsychs #LegoTherapy #SEND

Dr Keith Houghton @ephoughton.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

Removing breaks as ‘punishment’ harms kids, especially neurodivergent students who rely on them to regulate & recharge It’s counterproductive & discriminatory in my opinion I support MrG's campaign to protect break times below 👇 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73... #Edpsychs #SEND

Petition: Make it statutory guidance not to remove break-times for neurodivergent children

We feel that neurodivergent children (especially children with hyperactive/impulsive or combined ADHD) need movement to help regulate their brains. We think we need to stop punishing neurodivergent ch...

I spent a rare 6 hours in a Special Resource Base today! Chess strategists, ‘super fast’ races, desk-drawn maths, car experts & storytime joy. Reminded me why I love EP work: the magic happens when we work alongside children & apply psychology🎉 #Edpsychs #SEND #EPLife

Although X has absolutely died. One thing I'm super grateful for is the relationships from #TwitterEPS I met virtually with @davidpep.bsky.social today to discuss all things EP & we genuinely just had a decent chat & got to know each other. It's what it's all about. #Relationships #EPLife

Today reminded me why I love being an EP. 💙 Met 11yo *John* from Fermanagh to discuss his Y6 project on Lego-Based Therapy. We: • Explored how Lego helps neurodiverse kids like him • Debated footy teams 🏆 • Chatted farm life 🚜 • Even mapped his future EP career path! #WhyEP #TinyButMightyMoments

3 lots of lovely feedback from schools & families this week, & a request to keep supporting a young person after my work with @klidoscpeeps.bsky.social . Never felt more grateful to be an EP. These are the moments that make it all worthwhile. 🌟 #EdPsych #RelationshipsMatter #Smallwins

Personally, I'm not a fan of 'pen licences' in schools. As an EP, I've observed first-hand the negative impact they can have on children's SEMH, especially for neurodivergent learners who often relentlessly try to obtain one #Edpsychs #Edusky #PenLicences #SEND #Neurodiversity

Nothing lights me up more than using psychology in creative ways and sharing it with others! 💡✨ Excited for tomorrow’s session: a chance to deepen connection with a YP, gently reframe unhelpful thoughts, and empower them to see their future with hope. 🌱 #EdPsych #EduSky #PersonCentred #Hope
