@elonmusk You’re missing full accessibility and inclusion and choice!

@stclairashley What’s the point of sign language in a video if you have subtitles? Am I missing something?

@elonmusk Throwback to when Disney’s Karey Burke said, "as the mother of one transgender child and one pansexual child," she wants "many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories" and wants 50% of characters to be LGBTQIA and minorities

Some memorable highlights from #ATIA2024 📸 From heartwarming stories to tech breakthroughs, we're proud to be part of the community 🧡 Let's keep the conversation about #AssistiveTechnology and #AAC going - Because everyone has something to say! #AssistiveWare

Fantastic representation and so important for the children we work with 👏

There are people who still think that using #AAC will stop someone from learning to speak. Here's all the reasons why it is not true: assistivewa.re/3gVsWbv #myth #AssistiveWare

#WorldBrailleDay - Accessibility: Braille labels allow people to independently identify and select products based on their needs and preferences while shopping and in the home. ow.ly/Xpou50Qm7MC

@Beth_Tastic @MiHCUK All done!

@SurreyPSS @MiHCUK I think you need to follow me back for me to be able to send a DM

Families, children and PSS staff love learning language & communication through a variety of play activities at our weekly Little Listeners groups for deaf children aged 0-5! Want to get involved?, speak to your advisory teacher. We also regularly welcome musicians from @MiHCUK

@Beth_Tastic @MiHCUK Hi Beth could you send me a direct message with more details and I will look into this for you?

@SurreyPSS @MiHCUK I’d love to speak to my daughters PSS person but despite the case officer sending many requests for contact nobody has been back in touch with her. She’s been in a new setting since Sept 22 & nobody has been in touch with them either despite PSS being in EHCP since statement days

@WardellR @LizMillsSCC

Ever heard of CVI? When her son Henry was born with the condition, Rachel hadn't. Yet it is the leading cause of blindness in children! Rachel is driven to raise awareness. Check out her story in this piece featured in WBUR's Cognoscenti. wbur.fm/3YCaCaf

When the British Sign Language GCSE is introduced, it will help to break down communication barriers between deaf and hearing students. 🚧 Agree? Show your support by answering a few quick questions below. bit.ly/3GouuHD

Wishing all our followers a happy festive break, however you are celebrating or spending it! PSS staff are grateful for your support and look forward to working together in 2023!

End of term is approaching in a matter of hours! Some staff will still be working over the summer, the rest of us will be taking a break, recharging our batteries to continue our important work in September. Have a good summer everyone!

Looking forward to lots of families attending Surrey’s first Deaf Inspiration Day at Auriol School tmw! Lots of activities planned and chance to meet inspiring deaf role models. Bring a picnic and join in the fun from 11-3 @cssef
