Ok that’s it. I know this is from a private group & I know this is not a typical representation & I know no-one wants to be spat at & kicked. But this shows both the level of stress amongst those supporting our most vulnerable children & the need for appropriate training. In order to support in some way I commit to providing some FREE CPD next academic year with my daughter @bloglibby on understanding the autistic experience of education plus a relational approach to supporting wellbeing & self-regulation. Thank you for raising this @PaulaMc007
