@sociabilityapp Sensory rooms were first introduced at Sunderland Football Club by @PeterShippeyMBE & @KateShippeyMBE. Through their hardwork & determination they are now a feature in sports arena's around the world!
The perfect calming environment, with unbeatable views of the pitch.
@DurhamCricket now joins @SunderlandAFC and @Boro, as major north east sporting venues, who the Shippey Campaign are very proud to partner with, regarding our sensory room innovation & initiative.
Congratulations @DurhamCricket on the opening of your fantastic new sensory room.
Well done Richard Dowson, Kim Riddle and all involved, its been a pleasure to help and advise on this great development.
It's autism acceptance week.
I've written and deleted many a post because it didn't hit the right note about how I really feel.
So, I did just that...I put my heart on my sleeve.
Here's my post about parenting autism!

We had a great chat today with Kate and Peter from @shippeycampaign about sensory rooms and the work they're doing to support inclusion at sports stadia in the UK and abroad. If you're not following them, then have a look at what they're up to. https://t.co/E2C5suCYjn
It was a pleasure to meet with Richard Nurse from @mypicturepath earlier today. Both of our innovations compliment each other nicely, with them both being inspired by finding solutions for our children. Keep up the great work Richard.
I keep dipping in and out of social media platforms, but my resolutions this year include getting back to my blog...so, here's my first blog in a while, hope you like it!

I'm back to writing!
...To be honest, I've never been away. I always have ideas, characters bobbing around my mind.
The thing is I've just finished two books and I'm delighted, now it's on to editing, which is difficult and enjoyable.
New ideas are about to be born!

I want to say a big thankyou to @NewSilksAcademy @extoltrust staff for fabulous support during year 6 SATs last week, and a huge well done to pupils!
It was good to see pupils reassured and calm through such a stressful time.
