@joinourboys Your amazing book 'United We Play' has inspired our Sixth Class to learn all about Inclusion. We watched your interview on @GMB this morning and you have our full support ❤️

[Good Morning Britain @GMB]

'Your story has really moved us.'

Watch the sweet moment @piersmorgan and @susannareid100 give inspirational teen Archie, who is a fan of GMB, some early Christmas and birthday presents.

@AnnaFit74344597 @logananna11 @fiona_king_ This is also something I have only recently learned about. I will implement this is my future practice, and I think it will really help to clarify learning intentions for students.

[A Murphy @AMurphyBEd4]

@walshk62 Such an excellent point. Everyone deserves this, and I will do my best as an NQT to ensure the inclusion of all those in my school community.

[A Murphy @AMurphyBEd4]

Thank you so much to @fiona_king_, @dcu_incl_spe and all those involved over the past three years. You have helped us to develop courage and confidence. This may mark a new beginning for us, but our journey will continue along a path that we created together. #si401

[Eimear Daly @EimearDaly4]

My greatest learning throughout our #si401 lectures, is that inclusion is a mindset. It is not a program we set up in schools, nor is it a favour we do for a child. Inclusion is who we are as teachers. I can not thank @fiona_king_ and @logananna11 for instilling this in me.

[A Murphy @AMurphyBEd4]

My engagement with the @dcu_incl_spe team and my peers in this class has been invaluable. We cultivated an environment of collaboration and support amongst us, and I look forward to keeping in contact with all involved. @fiona_king_ #si401

[Clíodhna Murphy @ClodhnaMurphy1]

This morning #si401 specialism reflected on how far we have come over the past few years. A huge thank you to @dcu_incl_spe, the dedication, passion & continued support from the team has impacted us all, and will influence how we approach teaching towards inclusion as NQTs!

[A Murphy @AMurphyBEd4]

I will endeavour to develop a strong relationship based on a foundation of communication and respect with the Inclusion Support Assistants I engage with in my future practice #si401 @fiona_king_ @logananna11

[A Murphy @AMurphyBEd4]

This morning, @logananna11 enabled us to recognise how we can achieve so much more when we work together and utilise each others strengths. #si401 @fiona_king_

Its great to see public spaces becoming more aware of autism ! The airport can be an overwhelming place and a space like this is invaluable!

I really benefitted from this Yoga course for people with special needs in @MarinoInstitute facilitated by Anya Kruger. We engaged with the content in a very practical way and I look forward to implementing what I learned with my future students. @fiona_king_ #si401

[A Murphy @AMurphyBEd4]

In this week's lecture, @fiona_king_ remarked on the importance of valuing our students' understanding over the coverage of content. This can sometimes be a difficult call to make but is a very important point to note. #si401

[A Murphy @AMurphyBEd4]

This segment is really worth a watch on 3Player- as featured on IrelandAM this morning #si401 @fiona_king_

[Ireland AM @IrelandAMVMTV]

Christmas is an exciting time for children and adults alike. But for those living with autism, it can be an overwhelming time.

We're joined now by Fiona Ferris from @AsIAmIreland with some practical advice and ideas to help make the most of the festive season.

This article demonstrates how assistance dogs can help students gain a sense of independence. I recently chatted with a lady campaigning for AADI who emotionally expressed how much of a positive impact her son's assistance dog has on his quality of life. @fiona_king_ #si401

@fiona_king_ @dcu_incl_spe @EimearDaly4 definitely worth looking into!

[A Murphy @AMurphyBEd4]

It was inspiring to engage with the content presented by my peers during our presentations last week. It represented how we have internalised the worthwhile knowledge imparted to us by our S.I.E. team, and how we are ready to embody leadership and change. #si401 @fiona_king_

[Clíodhna Murphy @ClodhnaMurphy1]

I really enjoyed this weeks presentations in #si401. It was powerful to see how far we have come in 3 years of the specialism, and our ability to differentiate in different curricular areas in a subtle yet effective way. I love the idea of providing a choice of task! @fiona_king_

[A Murphy @AMurphyBEd4]

A wonderful initiative to help raise awareness of how children with autism may experience their Halloween night! @fiona_king_ #si401

“The idea is to educate the public and for this to serve as another symbol of autism awareness while understanding that kids with autism might not experience Halloween as other kids do.” via @wwmtnews https://t.co/sIlU11y4SS
