Well done to AOTI member Michelle Bergin for today's Irish Times article on her research into play in school playgrounds. Occupational therapists are experts on children's play and the factors that support or hinder meaningful play Department of Education and Youth irishtimes.com/ireland/educat…

Thanks Sylvia Thompson and Ray D'Arcy Radio for sharing our research and helping to start conversations towards actions. Schools need support from all the community to create opportunities for ALL children to play in Irish schoolyards .

Looking forward to this webinar next Friday on Irish Traveller Childrens access to education rights and reflecting on how OT can contribute to addressing barriers to participation and societal inequities #antiracist praxis #socialjustice . Hope lots of colleagues join and share.

Young people call for an end to systemic racism: 'We get racist names, they give us dirty looks and we go into the shops and they accuse us of robbing. Some #Travellers rob, but you can’t paint everyone with the same brush' irishexaminer.com/news/munster/a…

On United Nations #Internationaldayofplay interesting to read the new Children's School Lives highlighting "Friendships as a key source of happiness and support in school but also a source of stress". HOW children play in shared spaces interrelates with equitable conditions of possibility to do well.
