Are you a UK-based teacher, support worker or teaching assistant who works with autistic children?

A masters' student in my Faculty is doing some research into autistic social play and would really like to hear from you

Another governors meeting looking at SEND provision. Schools are on their knees. Children deserve better than this. Why isn't everyone up in arms about this?

Looking for some really great (primary) history practice in Specialist Provision for an article in Primary History. Does anyone have any contacts? @Ramble14 @TremaineBaker3 @HistoryPrimary @Dr_RJHarris @MissDWarwick @PriHistGeogHub

[Kate Rigby @KateRigbyITE]

Scaffolding. Is there a difference between scaffolding for learning, and scaffolding to enable readiness to learn? I'm going round in circles in my mind

[Kate Rigby @KateRigbyITE]

Absolutely brilliant experience at @wbtourlondon this weekend. Ear defenders, sensory room and autistic guide were all really useful. Thanks for making everything so much easier for autistic families.

[Dr Emma Pritchard-Rowe @EmmaPritchard95]

My wonderful colleague Belinda @belindaloveday will be at #INSAR2024 presenting her poster on autistic children's belonging. Her 'Pentagon of Belonging' centres around #AutisticIdentity and is neurodiversity-affirmative. 📢Check out her poster on Saturday 18th May 11:30am-1:30pm
