As we head into Autumn, remember to #LeaveTheLeaves 🍂

Lots of little lives depend on those leaves, and our lives depend on theirs ❤️

83% of disabled people acquired their condition. Society needs to design for their future self.

A wheelchair user joining a council housing list could wait 47 years for a suitable home. But we shouldn’t have accessible homes because it’s not attractive apparently. #EndAbleism

"The best place for children is in school"

[Hannah-Lou @chippety]

What an appalling image. Come and talk to some of the children struggling to be in school and the families who live with the daily consequences of this damaging system. You'll soon see it's no holiday or picnic in the park. #NotFineInSchool #EBSA

[Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP]

I make no apologies for saying the best place for children is in school.

The Tories tinkered around the edges of a generational challenge. Labour are gripping it.

This week must be back-to-school week, not just for some children, but for all children.

Do you have experience of navigating the SEND system? Perhaps you’re looking for advice?

Are you seeing very few bumblebees this month? 🧵
We're in a gap between 'peak queen' bumblebee (spring when lots of overwintered queens are looking for nest sites) & 'peak worker' bumblebee (mid summer). This year the gap seems to be deeper & more pronounced than normal. 1/7

A reminder that this is Conservative central office masquerading as an independent factcheck on Twitter tonight (they did the same thing in 2019).

This exceptional capacity for processing information can be overwhelming. Better understanding will allow us to create environments that are inclusive & respectful of the unique way in which autistic individuals experience the world. source - Pérez Velázquez JL & Galán RF #Autism

BREAKING: Just under 500,000 people have registered to vote today.

If we can get an additional 125,000 people registered by 23:59, we will break the record for the highest number of registrations in one day.

I’ve read hundreds of research articles and local authority docs about children who can’t attend school. Most focus on what interventions can support children and families. My conclusion is this approach can never work. 🧵1/7

[Square Peg @teamsquarepeg]

And here we have it. Thank you @RichardA for so clearly illustrating the power imbalance created by the authorised / unauthorised culture and hubris displayed by some schools around school registrations.
