Dear all - it's been a blast but I'm now leaving Twitter. All is good. I'm handing this account over to previous colleages at sen-help.org.uk. They're also very knowledable in SEND matters, so please do consider staying, but if you need to unfollow, they will understand

Thread provides context , last tweet a fantastic resource - if you have any tangential input from speech & Lang therapy in your life /work - reframes negative stigmatising deficit ASD descriptors into clear explanations. Life changing. Thx to @ElaineMcgreevy @EmilioLees

Sometimes the placement is not quite working & failing to conclude the AR cycle, amend & give right of appeal can lead to placement breaking down & rebuilding from that point is very very hard. Please respond to the AR consultation closes 12.8.22

This is also why it is so vital to respond to the consult on annual reviews. So many times I find myself advising and assisting with the incorrect undertaking and completion of ARs more so in many cases than the initial EHC process

Apparently a significant minority of cases when preparing a draft of amendments to the plan proposed seemingly does take LAs an unusual long time! What nonsense this is not a minority!!!! This is widespread and too often it's not just 1-2months it's years!!!!

This is an infringement on your human right to a private family life, if there is no evidence of safeguarding there is no grounds for invading your privacy - tell em to knob off ♥️

A reminder- we’re closing our single-response forms for the #SENDReview this Sunday. Even if there’s just one thing you want to say about the Green Paper, don’t miss this chance either via us, the official DfE site or another avenue. Whole consultation closes 22nd July

#SENDReview: We’re currently writing our consultation submission and will be closing our single answer forms in a few days, to give us chance to collate and format what you have sent via SNJ. So don’t delay if this is how you’re planning to respond. specialneedsjungle.com/sendr…

We have a little chap in EYFS. He came to us on a managed move. He’s making so much progress. He had a hug with his TA today. He said, ‘At my old school, nobody loved me!’ I could weep. All our children deserve to feel loved. Please love them - they know. ❤️🧡💙💚🌈

School refusal is hard. Emotionally crying to not go into school is hard. Hearing my child was crying during the day is hard. Home schooling shouldn’t have to be the solution #Autism #EduTwitter #Education #UKschools #Semh
