Another clip from my interview with @Daina_Anderson on @thesocialcornershow discussing parents experience with #education #SENDsystem #autism instagram.com/reel/DJ9gv_NKT…

Thanks to @thesocialcornershow for giving me the platform to speak about #send #autism #education issues. instagram.com/stories/thesoc…

Boy's not accessed education since July 24. He'd fight me to not to go to great settings! Last week he began Diamonds. CAMHS worried attachment issues due to complex medical trauma n delay would impact. The boy loves it & asked to go every day! Didn't bat an eye when I left!

Artist yes, but a mother first! When @OneNessSankara witnessed disability discrimination first-hand, it ignited a new-found passion to put an end to it once and for all voice-online.co.uk/entertainment/…

I believe they're hoping parents will just give up at the first refusal to assess, (too many have) . Even when it's obvious that the child needs it. The barriers parents face just to get support for their child has increased over the years. Unacceptable!

Supported a lot of families through this process. The legal timelines no longer apply. Applications for assessment are initially turned down (even with school supporting the application),which leads to the mediation process, then assessment is agreed. #HAVEYOURSAY #EHCP #BBC

So impressed with this students description of how it feels to be embarrassed. #autism #saturdayclass #emotional-awareness #proud instagram.com/p/DEsTUcVsMHe/…

@timecaptales @fasc1nate Lovely. My brain is seeing blue tho.

"I spent half my life in the military, and I used to come home, take off my little soldier hat, put on my painter's hat, and there I'd build the kind of world that I wanted. It was peaceful, it was quiet, there was no hassles, nobody was yelling. And it was good, everything was good. Nobody was going to get shot or hurt, not in my world." "The Joy of Painting" host Bob Ross was known for his calm, soothing demeanor — but before he launched his painting career, he spent 20 years in the U.S. Air Force. There, he rose to the rank of master drill sergeant and considered himself a "mean" person, even earning himself the nickname "Bust-'em-up Bobby." But it was his disdain for his tough role and his love for the mountains surrounding his Alaskan Air Force base that led him to pursue painting.

@fasc1nate @projectaspie I used to watch his show when I was younger. I now play episodes to my sen students.
