Please could you tell me what/if you know about rejection sensitivity dysphoria. #UK #ADHD #primary #SENCo #SEND

If you don’t make time for you wellness, You’ll be forced to make time for your illness. Work is important. Living life is importanter 😉🥰

@abbyaug Sequence!

@Tesco it appears you have no complaints process online? Ir if you have, it’s certainly not easily found. Please advise how I can let you know about my experience.

@NorwichTheatre #lifeofpi was an absolutely incredible production! We wondered, is the actor who injured herself on stage ok please?🤞🏻

@Miss_Crofts Ditched mine few years back after about 8 years of teaching - the space on the shelf is great!! 😂

I’ve still got my two arch lever folders from my teacher training, five years ago 🫣🫣🫣 someone please tell me it’s okay to not keep them.

Please RT: Advice regarding deformation of character (in writing) by an estranged family member at work please - clear intention to cause detrimental effect to employment with comments made…@CitizensAdvice #deformationofcharacter

@honestteacher72 @IPSEAcharity @sencochat They can, but refusing to do anything unless diagnosis made. I know it’s unlawful! For adhd he’s been referred - 14 month wait!

Query from a friend… ‘My child’s school (sec: y7) have told us he can’t have support or be on SEN register unless he has a diagnosis (dyslexia/ADHD). His reading age is 4yrs below CA and he can’t access curric. We can’t afford to pay…what do we do?’ @IPSEAcharity @sencochat

@GingerLibNotts Take-a-peek, though I wish I wasn’t!

@LauraJBaker55 @MrBoothY6 Completely agree!!

@MrBoothY6 No, if they do not require provision that is additional to or different from the universal provision BUT they should be on a monitoring list and staff should be made aware of their diagnosis and possible difficulties.

If a child had adhd, is medicated and generally needs no adjustments during the school day, does school have a legal obligation to put them on the SEN register?

@Zoetwinmummy @MrBoothY6 Agreed!

@MrBoothY6 Issue could be if the have to come off meds (we’ve had a child had to do this) which then means adjustments. A tricky one!

@rsgalloway1 @MrBoothY6 In my 10 years as SENCo, I can count on one hand the children who have actually had any support from CAMHS or equivalent - and on one finger the times when that has met need 😓😓

@MrBoothY6 Yes as they are usually receiving support from an outside agency such as camhs providing medication reviews etc

#dyslexia If 1 in 5 pupils are #ND and have a #SPLD and all are recommended 1:1 dyslexia tutors, how on earth can #mainstream schools even attempt to do the best for them? Parents expect this 1:1 to be provided - how?! #wearedyslexiafriendly #reasonableadjustments #SEND #help

@MrTs_NQTs Unhappy about what though? Sometimes this could be overcome very easily/quickly by giving the parent time there and then. There are lots of things to balance - is your role in welcoming pupils critical/sg? Is there a back story to why parent is ‘unhappy?’ #kindness #compassion

Question 14: An unhappy parent demands to speak to you first thing in the morning as you are welcoming in the pupils - how do you deal with this? #MrTsIQ

Yesterday I spent the morning visiting primary schools for my own professional development. Today I am reflecting on what I saw. Here are my takeaways… 🧵

@AspieDeLaZouch Thank you!

@PrimarySENCo86 Historically that was always a dividing line but I'll dm you on it when I've eaten 😋 🍲

If a parent requests placement change / school consulted - LA *must* legally do this? Correct? What happens if independent school? #sen #send #senlaw #codeofpractice #ehcp

@AspieDeLaZouch Even if independent and not section 41?

@PrimarySENCo86 Then they should consult the preferred school. DM me if you need any references to CoP or regs.

@AspieDeLaZouch From annual review.

@PrimarySENCo86 Is this arising from annual review or between times?
