Tomorrow marks the start of my #Dance Residency with Dance City. I'll be exploring #urban #affect and its impact on the Tourettic body, and considering the value of tics in performance spaces for translating experiences of #TouretteSyndrome! 🕺

Here's to making art! 🌟

The “Science of Reading” isn’t science—it’s a marketing slogan used to enshrine phonics-based instruction into law. This article explores how GLPs are excluded, remediated, and monetised by an industry built on enclosure.

Our leadership member, Daniel, has written this excellent article which reflects on matters of meaningful inclusion when organising and/or facilitating academic events.
Just published: Inclusion and Sharing Best Practice for Academic Events Facilitation ✨

The sharing of best practice is, and always will be, more important than competing for institutional accessibility accreditations!

We're excited to see our paper published in @bmj.com BMJ Open today!

The paper highlights lacking prioritisation for #TicDisorders & #TS, compounded by a healthcare system with no space for multidisciplinary approaches!

Always a pleasure to work with these folks! 🤩
