Devastated for @becca_meyers having to pull out of the #Paralympics after being denied reasonable adjustments around care and support. Hoping Becca's sad decision will be a catalyst for change for future Paralympic athletes. https://t.co/7rDQS7zNZG

This wonderful girl came to Tactile Collider and taught us as much as we taught her. If you can bid on her wonderful book it would be fabulous. https://t.co/qs5vwbXiQr
My 12 yo daughter has written a book called "Questions you've always wanted to ask a blind person but never dared ask". It's being auctioned on Ebay and half of the proceeds will go #RNIB. DM me if you'd like a copy of the PDFs to use in school - great for teaching curious kids!

Some great shared practice from Sam @TactileCollider - think about a range of delivery methods - the drama collisions are inspired! #engagematters
