Your child #shines: they’re not broken, the #system is! 💡

If the school feels more like an obstacle course, you’re not alone. Let’s push for an #upgrade that meets EVERY kid’s needs.

What’s one #change you wish schools would make? 🤔✨

Character counts. 🧡

[Advocating 4 Fair Education @4faireducation]

Our kids show comfort in ways that don’t always match expectations — and that’s okay. 💛

Honoring their #natural ways of connecting builds #trust, #safety, and #confidence. 🌿

What helps your child feel understood?

“Investments in families work — and now is not the time to pull back,” says ACNJ’s Mary Coogan. Camden’s progress shows what’s possible when kids and #families are prioritized — even as many still #struggle to make ends meet. #SNAP #Camden

Feeling lost choosing between a #504 and an #IEP for your child with @ADHD?

You can always ask for more #testing if you’re unsure—or if the school is. I’m here to walk with you through it.

What’s the #hardest part for you right now?

This article points out how the struggle of children with special needs and foster care can affect them during adulthood, quality of life, and careers choices. #Allkidsthrive #Inclusionforall #Educationequality.

[AllKidsThrive @Allkidsthrive_]

children in foster care, especially those with special needs faces a lot of struggles in school. Moving to different homes or switching schools makes them fall behind and keeps them from getting the services they really need. https://t.co/YY1VcoI8ZK

[AllKidsThrive @Allkidsthrive_]

Eventhough it has not been easy the New Jersey’s child-welfare system has come a long way. The state turned a struggling system into one of the strongest in the country.#Allkidsthrive #Everychildcounts #Leraningdifferences

[Nick Timothy MP @NJ_Timothy]

If you’re a school, a trust or a council that wants to open a new special needs school…

… you don’t know the policy, the budget, or if you’ll be able to open at all.

Families deserve better than this.

Bridget Phillipson’s Education Department is a mess.

[Kimiko Shibata 🦋 @ESL_fairy]

For every ten children with identified special needs who need Educational Assistant support to be safe and successful at school, only one child currently receives support. Asking boards to cut even more is not going to help our kids. https://t.co/CLQ510aEei
