There is still much to do, I hope this book continues the ongoing conversation about school absence, let's hope it becomes a *dynamic* one

Young people who show challenging behaviour are more likely to have been exposed to trauma. In some cases,challenging behaviour is a symptom of trauma.Trauma informed approaches need to be understood,otherwise it will just focus on the behaviour.The behaviour is the symptom.🧠🌱

I've seen some questions being asked from some individuals about behaviour management/trauma approaches etc.All I can say is that this approach has been extremely beneficial to many pupils under my watch,who could have been written off.They are now on an incredible journey. 🧠🌱

Here's #dissociation in a nutshell: the child-part who was abused and the child-part who never was. Our brain segregates our experience in order to survive the unbearable.

Parent/carers of learning disabled children are often made to feel like a failure by so called professionals. Yet, often, it is the so called professionals that are catastrophically failing the child,
yet, there never seems to be any consequences for them
