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 https://t.co/tMBej5kRuK
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
@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. 🙏🏻
Thrilled to see former @CTYI student and current staff member Dr Lisa McNamee win this award. She was the recently the recipient of our alumni of the year in the summer @DCU. Such a multitalented and lovely person.
Delighted to give a presentation today @tcddublin to the teachers of the future. Great to share my thoughts about the diversity within @CTYI gifted students. Showcased some brilliant research in this field conducted @DCU
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

We are back! First day of @ctyi primary school classes @DCU this term. Over 1,000 students and some very interesting courses. Oh and the parents have to listen to me! I think the kids are getting a better deal.
