🧵if you ever wonder what drives me to so passionately support children & young people this is it in a nutshell👇🏼✌️B is 2wks old here, I was super young, single parenting by choice, wholly unequipped for parenthood never mind life threatening complex medical needs & disabilities.

Ask the tricky questions, have the difficult conversations, request support, question choices, use your voice, make yourself heard, appeal decisions, & always remember if they feel “challenged” by you that’s a THEM problem NOT a YOU problem!

Why is it in schools that the expectation to remember things is on neurodiverse students yet teachers aren’t expected to remember strategies in place via the EHCP for the student 🤔talk to me about that

Is executive functioning understood enough in schools do we think? 🤔 the number of times I’m contacted by parents because schools have sanctioned because of a child’s lack of executive functioning skills is alarming tbh 🫤

Well done Isaac! 👏🏼 💙
My son Isaac; diagnosed autistic at 21 months. Told he would never talk properly, then he’d never cope in mainstream then never get GCSEs, certainly not anything higher. But he proved them wrong and here he is holding his 2:1 degree certificate in accountancy and finance👏🏼

Like him or loathe him I don’t think anyone could really listen to what he is sharing here & not have compassion for his decisions to protect his family. It takes huge courage to stand up & be heard, even more so in his position.

After school detentions .. in the winter darker months .. who’s responsible for kids when they leave school? Is it schools duty until they reach home? Hearing of some local YP being given whole class same day detentions for 1.5hr - that doesn’t sit well with me 😬

Sometimes we just need a minute to breathe & yet often it feels like if we stop all those balls in the air will come crashing down. Take the minute, take the breath, life is too short not to prioritise our own well-being & mental health! None of us can fill from an empty cup! ❤️

Just NO ✋🏼 🛑 want to know the quickest way to find your school in court? This👇🏼👇🏼🤦🏼♀️ the equality act is there for a reason - USE IT! A child’s EHCP is a legally binding document if it’s not being followed to the letter - report it formally to the LA & follow the process 👌🏼
Do teachers need to make adjustments to their lessons to meet the multiple different needs of children in their classroom? I say no! 🧵
