The impact this will have on kids w. special educational needs can't be stated enough. Education is failing our SEN kids by not acting on concerns. Jsy is now officially "unsafe" for educational psychologists to work in. bailiwickexpress.com/jsy/news/educa…


Let's all make a difference...

Hey @StenaLineUKIE Your Holyhead to Dublin crew have been absolutely AMAZING with my child who has additional needs. They've treated him with so much kindness. Thank you so much.


Can someone explain please? An independent investigation found that my child's school failed to protect him from physical & sexual harm. I reported it to the LADO who said it didn't meet threshold. The school failed in their duty of care - why wouldn't a LADO investigate?


Education Dept.: your child needs to manage his anxiety. Me: No. You need to identify what's making him anxious in school, and seek to eliminate or mitigate the source. Will it ever get any better? #FASD #SEND #notokinschool


Surely, @JEPnews, this should say "An anti-child-abuse campaigner..."?

SEND by numbers: 97% of primary-school exclusions are for SEND pupils. 98% of SEND tribunal hearings are lost by local authorities. 98% of SEND appeals relate to EHCPs. £100m spent by LAs last year in SEND tribunals. Maybe it would be easier to just support SEND families..?


I'm appealing my son's EHCP. The LA is ignoring due process & have implied I just rock up and state my case. No submissions, no bundle swap, no x-examination, no expert witnesses, no expert evidence. I just rock up. Like THAT'S gonna happen. 🤬


The irony: Professionals who WON'T not CAN'T change their perspectives of neurodiverse children who CAN'T not WON'T. #SEN #FASD #ADHD #ASD


Words matter; they can alienate and denigrate...

Did you know that c.80% of people with FASD also have ADHD? I wonder how many people with ADHD know they might have FASD, too? I would imagine it's a very low number.


I'm certain there's a voodoo doll of me at the Education Department for this very reason...

This. This. THIS! Absolutely this. In addition to this, children with #FASD may have an impaired internal reward centre. And, whilst I'm here, consequences rarely work too because kids with FASD find it very hard to learn from negative experiences.

When my son was four, we were sent a gift subscription to an educational software package called something like Education City. It has questions which children were meant to answer. I opened it up and showed it to him. He enjoyed numbers and patterns so I opened the maths…

Ahhhhh, April Fools' Day... the ONLY day of the year when we critically analyse what we're told in the news and media.
