Very different. Very familiar. Do read this article if you want to see something about parenting a child with severe disabilities. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

āœˆļøšŸŒ The Joshie-Man is cooking with top chefs across the world. Let that sink in. This young man, #NonSpeaking, #Autistic, for so long underestimated, is now travelling the globe, doing what he loves. In the heat of professional kitchens. gofund.me/46923774

Today I’m sharing something I’ve carried with me, quietly, painfully, for over three decades since I was run over by my school bus. My feet were left hanging by a thread of skin. Every single day, I’m in pain. Remember that physical disabilities can be invisible.

MY EVIDENCE TO HOUSE OF LORDS: We cannot continue to write-off the life chances of a part of our population so early in their life. Communication is a fundamental human right. We need to fully support high-tech AAC for #NonSpeaking #Autistic people like #TheJoshieMan’s talker.

Here is some of what I said to the House of Lords committee on reforming the Autism Act 2009. My focus was on a group that’s far too often forgotten: #NonSpeaking #Autistic people who rely on #AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) youtu.be/VGiSta-HRf8?si…

šŸŽ‰ 100,000 signatures! On the day Labour confirm they’re skipping consultation & going straight to a SEND white paper, the petition to protect disabled children’s legal rights hits the debate threshold. Huge thanks to Cut Scenes for making sure this didn’t stay in the shadows.

The WCC motion was clear: cllrs must complete co-produced SEND training BEFORE taking part in scrutiny committees that handle the provision of Childrens Services. The first CYP Overview & Scrutiny Committee meets on 25 June. What happens if training is not delivered in time?

ā¤ļøIt’s Father’s Day in the UK and today TJM won’t have any words for me, but it doesn’t matter. He may never say ā€œHappy Father’s Day.ā€ But do you know what I do get? I get a love so deep, so fierce, so utterly pure, that it’s hard to explain to anyone who hasn’t lived this life

I’m proud to be supporting the fine folks at Neurodiversity Pride Day. #Neurodivergent minds bring unique creativity, innovation, and fresh ways of seeing the world. But too often, we’re met with misunderstanding, barriers, or a lack of support.
