I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.

It’s disgusting and dangerous.

If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.

Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.

To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

Our school psychs are an invaluable resource in public schools and play such an important role in problem solving about students…lucky to work with some of the best! 💚 @ReneeWilkins722 @weinert_ashley @KChichila

[National Association of School Psychologists @nasponline]

It can be hard to describe the full scope and comprehensive role of a school psychologist. This resource can aid you in communicating the importance of all that school psychologists do. #SchoolPsychWeek https://t.co/Vm0cYykkQ3

You love to see it 💪🏻

Hey Michigan Teachers!

Some of you remember the Pre-Snyder years when you could:

🔵 Have your union dues deducted from your paycheck

🔵 Negotiate your contracts without having your wages and benefits frozen

🔵 Collectively bargain without “prohibited subjects”

The new #MajorityForThePeople just gave it all back to you.

Have a relaxing summer!

@AutismAlliance Is this for members only, or open to all community members? Is there an specific age range of participants you are looking for? Just want to check to see if this would be appropriate to share with some of the K-4 students I work with!

[Novi Community School District @NCSD]

Informative study from @MHealthLab: Frequently using digital devices to soothe young children as a coping strategy can lead to behavioral challenges down the road. Instead, model belly breathing, Playdoh, looking at a book, music, etc
