An autism registry? I’m pretty sure there is a good reason why we should know and learn from history 🙈🙈🙈 #edpsychs

No news from the Government regarding the Adoption and Special Guardianship Fund today. Precisely what these kids needs- lack of stability and continuity. Slow clap Labour…

Had the absolute pleasure of doing my annual session with TEPS at UCL on innovative practice, lived experience, care experience etc etc. Always fills my cup and I hope the TEPs got something from it too 😀 #edpsychs #traineeeps

Musing on intention (if any)of young person swearing when I met them.Quick response would be ltd. vocab/emotional lit., but I think it has lots of nuance/meaning. It doesn’t bother me but I know some really dislike swearing. I wonder what others think?(Yet to learn a word I didn’t know!). #edpsychs

Bitterly disappointing to see this soft-touch approach to ending profiteering in care system. Asking providers to 'voluntarily limit' profits (when cost of a child in care can exceed £1m p/a) assumes a level of trust never earned. Tougher measures are needed now; gentle negotiations won’t work.

Re read this blog again today. I liked reading about where identities and systems intersect and son forth. Lots of layers in our work aren’t there? Some visible and some not. #edpsychs ://edpsy.org.uk/blog/2021/reflections-of-a-disabled-educational-psychologist/

It had been a loooooonnnnng time since I stepped foot into my old junior school but today I did for work. I even observed in my old classroom. Loved the teacher that taught me in that room- the GOAT teacher. Happy times. Another perk of the job! #edpsychs

I am looking for just one final educational psychologist who is also a parent of a child with special educational needs who’d be willing to share their experiences with me for research. If this is you, please DM me for more info. #edpsychs thanks!

I so valued the occupational therapist joining us for a consultation at our special school recently. Worked really well. It can be quite hard to get everyone in a room at the same time (& I still think f2f has a different vibe than online!). #edpsychs

Reading a paediatric report for a #careexperienced young person that has a list of their diagnoses, one of which is ‘looked after child’. Last time I looked, this was not a diagnosis 👀 This could be written differently (& better) IMHO! #edpsychs
