Hey, @grok , who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was.

Autistic child "told he can go to mainstream school despite still being in nappies." He has an EHCP, so after mediation failed, the mum is appealing, even though it's a long wait. Now imagine if there were no EHCP rights or Tribunal? uk.news.yahoo.com/boy-autism-tol…

🥤 A £5 iced latte? Or 3 book packs to pre-school children living in women's refuge centres? Books help overcome disadvantage and nurture a life-long love of reading, but for many it's a luxury families can't afford. Get a spring in your step and set up a small monthly gift. 🌺

A shockingly misleading & dangerous piece from @matthewhood on @SchoolsWeek, lobbying for an end to EHCPs. With Matt Hood's Oak Academy enjoying influence over @educationgovuk thinking, this should worry all parents & teachers. And worst of all, the piece is just plain wrong. 🧵

Every woman you know has taken a longer route. Has doubled back on herself. Has pretended to dawdle by a shop window. Has held her keys in her hand. Has made a fake phone call. Has rounded a corner and run. Every woman you know has walked home scared. Every woman you know.

Here's K.Badenoch, who thinks an autism diagnosis entails "economic advantages and protections". She also queries providing school transport for autistic kids & has no idea what neurodiversity/divergence are, and why they have abs nothing to do with, say, anxiety. Pls retweet

Our report on Tuesday will reveal in stark terms how neurodivergent children are being robbed of precious years of their childhoods, facing delays and inequalities with getting diagnoses and support for autism, ADHD and other conditions like cerebral palsy.

What do you do when the LA is ignoring you? You need information and help for your children; no acknowledgement- weekly calls- you just need to talk to someone and ask for help. Help desk have escalated manager, area manager. nothing. Feel broken I can’t help @savororaidh @Send

Imagine being 15, living in a care home, and being told to pack up because you're moving again. Given a black bin bag for your belongings, like your life is disposable. A taxi picks you up at 9pm after your social worker's shift ended at 5. You arrive alone with your life in a…

It’s genuinely baffling to me why private equity should have any role in the care we provide to our most vulnerable children. Of all the sectors that should not be about profit, this is surely an obvious one

This echoes so much of what I'm working with every day. Every election candidate needs to be questioned about what their party will do about the growing disaster in SEND education. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Looking for neurodivergent-affirming social skills programmes (is there such a thing?). EdPsych has recommended this for a few pupils but most I’ve looked into into include non-affirming strategies e.g. How to make eye-contact. Any advice? #edutwitter

Just looking through HCC’s proposed budget cuts. Money must be saved but this seems to be directly targeting the most vulnerable: the elderly, the homeless, the disabled- surely we are better than this? hants.gov.uk/aboutthecounci… @ShelaghFogarty

@rcolvile I know I shouldn’t rise to this; but the ‘golden ticket’ rhetoric hurts. You cannot know or understand the journey of this ‘golden ticket, or you would not talk so glibly and disparagingly of those of us who do.Our reality and that of of children for whom we fight is not golden.
