What an absolute privilege to speak to a packed auditorium of staff and volunteers from the Corn Exchange in Newbury today…..

…..and it was the first event to be held in the brand new, old library building which has been renovated to become a community space for arts and learning 🥰

Thank you to you all for giving up your time and being open to supporting neurodivergent people in your spaces x

**FREE WEBINAR: What to do When School is The Problem
Wed 15th April**

Most advice around school avoidance starts in the wrong place.
It starts with getting the child back into school. But what if school is the problem? I am running a free, live webinar for parents, educators, and professionals who support autistic children struggling to attend school.

In this session, I will walk you through:
1) What is really driving school avoidance
2) How to identify the real issues.
3) Why pushing harder often makes things worse.
4) How acceptance-based support can help to overcome barriers.

📅 Wednesday 15th April
🕖 7pm
📍 Facebook Live - Just log onto our page at 7pm (acceptingbehaviour)

I hope you can make it, and don't forget to bring your questions!

I’ve been rather quiet on social media over the past few weeks, but I’m still busy behind the scenes!

🧐My PhD research is getting exciting, with preparations to meet participants.
🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 I am continuing to support families across the country.
🗣️ Speaker engagements including talking with around 60 staff next week at the Newbury Corn Exchange where we will be discussing how to make community events inclusive.

And you can also find me in London, in June at the Autism & ADHd show talking alongside some wonderful people such as Chris of Autistic Not Weird, Libby of SmallTalk Speech & Language Therapy and Pete Wharmby, Autistic Author

I just want to acknowledge and thank who ever nominated me for the National Diversity Awards thing.

And I do massively appreciate the acknowledgement.
But the organisation charge a small fortune for nominees to attend.
It involves being in a large crowded room with noise, lights etc.
It’s a long way away and on a night when I have my children whom I unable to leave overnight.
They require me to fill out lots of info about myself and my work.

And to be honest it’s all very inaccessible for me.

So thank you, really big thank you, as like I said the acknowledgment of my work is really appreciated. But I will not be attending the event and so have not been sharing to gain votes.

As I still love the acknowledgement and appreciation of my work please do always leave me reviews here on my page and on Amazon for my books.

Thank you 🙏🏼

Today I talked very fast to squeeze as much in as I could about neurodivergent burnout into my allocated 1 hour slot!!

This was for the TADSS (Teaching Alliance of Dorset Special Schools) Conference which saw the staff from 6 schools come together for a day of workshops and talks.

I had some great chats with some amazing people after, who gave me some lovely feedback, which is always so wonderful for me. I spend a lot of time talking and can’t always tell how it lands lol

Thank you TADSS for having me 😃
