🌟 Waiting for a diagnosis of ADHD? In response to the noise in the media this week & subsequent distress felt by many, I’ve put together some pointers for those of you navigating the systems. Shared on insta @elizabeth_swan_uk #ADHD #AdhdWomen

@Ethical_Leader Hey Hannah, pricing varies from £750 for an online diagnostic assessment up to £2500 in some areas for in person. Currently demand means private waitlists in many areas are 6months+. VIP to consider support &strategies before & after diagnosis. Happy to share signposting.

RSD appears to mainly occur with ADHD. It's an extreme pain & emotional sensitivity that may be experienced in response to an actual or perceived rejection or criticism. If your young person has a very extreme reaction to criticism or rejection, this may be why. #Neurodivergence

💫 SENCos & SEND leaders💫 Looking forward to working with SENCOs and leaders of SEND this afternoon. A key part of our session will focus on support to reduce the workload for SEND leaders. What are your top tips for managing workload as SENCo? #SEND #SENCO #Education

@SLT_Francesca This is a great thread - thank you! I’ve found Shaun Tan’s books really powerful when working with neurodivergent children and young people. Lots of ways wordless books can be used - thank you for sharing these!

Books2Door also have a sale on 5 wordless books 📚 books2door.com/products/david…

1/? ✨ Did you know that wordless books can be a powerful tool for developing narrative skills? Studies have shown that children who read wordless books have improved storytelling abilities and a stronger understanding of story structure.

@NiallAlcock Please advise your friend not to reward 100% attendance. Happy to share research. Really not great for children with medical conditions / needs.

Asking for a friend: I look after whole school attendance in my secondary school and I'm looking for cheap/free ways to reward my 100% attenders termly. We issue achievement pts/certificates/postcards but would like to hear if there is something different other schools use :-)

Absolutely delighted to raise awareness and understanding of ‘ADHD and Girls’ at this year’s @EducationFest #ADHD #ADHDGirls #Neurodiversity #EducationFest

@frankietweetart Heist. Spendy but worth it. Snag also excellent.

When I worked in a PRU they used to call me Nora Batty because of my ill fitting tights 😅 #TeachersofTwitter help me out please, the problem continues. Spent the day walking around a school hoisting my tights up, not very professional 😅 Where do you find decent tights?

@missmarshECT Can I recommend a browse of the @TeacherEmpower website as a starting point?

what other jobs can i do with a teaching qualification that isnt teaching? asking 4 a friend 🥲

@missmarshECT @didteach1

@Tesco I’ve spent two hours this morning trying to book a Christmas delivery slot (a priority slot). Using the app and then the website. Neither let me book past 5th December and then they kick me out. Can you help?

Imagine experiencing gaslighting by a partner, undergoing therapy, and then watching that person garner sympathy on national TV? We ask @ITV @imacelebrity to consider in their edit not platforming alleged abusers minimising their actions on screen. Solidarity with survivors 💜

@dr_deininger @TomHuddleston_ Me too!! Adds to 🎄 list for the kids x DW has been vetoed for years…

@TomHuddleston_ Came here for the Walliams tweet and then discovered Floodworld [adds to reading list]. Can't wait to read it!
