As part of my thesis project on the #transitiontoadulthood for #neurodivergent young people, I've tried to summarise my findings into three guides. These are very light touch and intended to be conversation starters - please use & share if useful!

I really like this structure for thinking about how to support play.

@LoTheAEP Ime young people know what they need pretty well, what they often need is someone to advocate for them to adults who will often dismiss their experience or question their priorities.

[Rebecca Crompton @BeccaJC91]

@LoTheAEP Helping school to understand, "spoons theory" is talked about in chronic illness space and helpful to understand energy management.
In terms of school - encourage flexibility & supporting the YP to prioritise.

Me and all the papers I’ve downloaded but never read

[Dr Chris Moore @DrChrisMooreEP]

The desire for therapy assumes that a young person can easily open up to a stranger, that they can put their thoughts and feelings into words, and that they have a coherent sense of their life story. Relationships in school and the community can be far more natural and powerful.

[Rebecca Crompton @BeccaJC91]

Love using these.

@alex_brownhill @edpsydan @surreyeps @AdrianneLReid @psychedmum @BPSOfficial @viola_jane @WillPsyc @AspenPsychology @fiona_coley @WOWWpsychology @DrMarySD @DrAnnaNolan @epreachout Agree - seems that trainees need some representation too! TEPs are so disempowered within the training system and aren't protected in the same way employees are (or should be).

[Rebecca Crompton @BeccaJC91]

Important research!

[Dr Dan O'Hare @edpsydan]

We say this over & over but authorities aren't interested in this narrative.
Just look at the numbers though. Any discussion on barriers to school attendance ought to be focussing on this.

@EducationSheff Will the sessions be recorded? Sounds very interesting but I'm booked up that day.

🗣️"Learning is fundamentally a communicative, social act.."

Educational Psychologist & AEP Professional Officer, Sean Octigan is quoted in this recent article exploring the impact of silence as a 'default' and strict behavioural policies in schools.

Important large scale, multi-national, and naturalistic study. Key finding: Children who hear more adult talk speak more (and SES, gender, and multilingualism have minimal impact)

Love this

One of our Assistant EPs has been developing some training around harmful and helpful language in education drawing upon trauma informed principles. We love this graphic developed by @kwiens62 👏🗣️#twittereps
