THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK...
“Not everyone has been a bully or the victim of bullies, but everyone has seen bullying, has responded to it by joining in or objecting, by laughing or keeping silent, by feeling disgusted or feeling interested.”
Octavia E Butler (1947-2006), US writer...

The Communication and Autism Team are delivering the Autism & Me programme across the city, in both primary and secondary settings. Today we’re at @Stockgrn working with students to discover and celebrate their autistic identity.

How many of us can recognise a child or young person who exhibits reactions such as these when encountering maths?
Parents/carers with Maths Anxiety can experience similar emotions, and we need to consider the impact that this will have on the learner.
