What is the role of reasonable adjustments in creating a positive learning environment?

@barberela is leading a session on what we need to know about reasonable adjustments and how they can be used to make the classroom more inclusive for all.

As part of Neurodiversity Celebration week and a discussion on the Double Empathy Problem, I made this video. Intended for a little bit of fun and to prompt discussion, hope it makes you chuckle 😉 #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek #uob https://t.co/k8FXqiuHuQ

Great day today presenting at #ICDDET with @NeilHall7 on incorporating universal design into the doctoral viva. We had great feedback and built networks to take our research forward. Exciting times

[Barbara Sandland @barberela]

There is nothing better than people seeking you out after a presentation to say that you've had a personal impact on them and changed the way they will approach situations in the future. I will go home knowing I've positively impacted on people's lives #SENDCONF24 #SEND #autism

[Barbara Sandland @barberela]

Nearly ready to go on #SENDCONF24

2 boys in Y6, both on waiting list for same ND both struggling to attend sch due to anxiety. They live in different LAs. Child A is given EHCP & LA are placing in special school. Child B is refused EHCP & told QFT in high sch is all he needs Help me see how that is a fair system!

[Barbara Sandland @barberela]

I'm genuinely interested... Are there any autistic/adhd young people happy at school? Is there any research to identify if there are any?

[Barbara Sandland @barberela]

Looking forward to being part of this great event

Education to every SEN parent: We don"t believe what you say. Where's your evidence?
All assessment appointments: mom tell me where the challenges are and what you think he needs and we'll write that down!
What's the point??

[Barbara Sandland @barberela]

£3000 for an autism and adhd assessment for my son or 18 months on a waiting list. How is that a choice? #send #autism #adhd
