Currently supervising a PhD student looking at high ability students with autism here @CTYI but parents saying that there is no support for these students at school. @DCU Percentage of children diagnosed with autism rises threefold in less than a decade

What a great day @DCU. Such a great showcase for research and thrilled that @SpillzHinch PhD student @MegTheZoologist emerged as the winner. Such a brilliant advocate for what we do @CTYI. Well done Meg

A great week showcasing a new @ctyi programme @DCU. We had a number of female students and kids from DEIS schools taking advanced Maths and Chemistry classes funded by Purposeful Ventures. The future is bright @OrlaDunne10 @SpillzHinch @hazel_skinner

Happy to promote this interesting piece of research
@Colmdcu I am conducting PhD research on the lived experiences and inequalities of people labelled as ‘gifted and talented’. If you could kindly retweet this message, it would greatly help me in reaching participants for my study. Your support would be invaluable. 🙏🏻

Great to see this article in today's @IrishTimes. An important area @ctyi that is often overlooked in gifted education. Well done Dylan and Malachy. @DCU ‘In school people are scared to be a bit strange’: Gifted students on life in mainstream schools

Exceptionally able students can often feel like outsiders - but many feel at home at the Centre for Talented Youth Ireland
