Thanks! It’s a great way to switch off/de-stress. I’m on AL this week and have spent the morning making mermaid hair!

Still completely addicted to crocheting so I thought I’d make Paddington bear (& some of his many outfits!) for my granddaughter’s 3rd birthday. Really pleased with how these turned out 💜

Highly recommend this book for anyone working with children/YP who don’t do well with ‘demands’ - it’s also full of simple examples of how to put the strategies into practice in everyday contexts (plus it’s only £7:50 on Amazon!)

Well said! 👏👏👏👏

Finishing off my very first crotchet blanket but I can’t decide whether to keep the edge straight or continue with the bobbles? Do the final row in olive green or cream? Are there other/better options that I haven’t even thought of?! Any suggestions?

I don’t know what today’s new stitch is called but I love it!

This week I’ve crotched a (slightly wonky) mermaid blanket for my granddaughter, some granny squares for my mum’s cushion covers & today I learned the ‘ripple stitch’. Who knew crotchet was so addictive!! #Can’tStopCrotcheing

Excellent idea. It’s sad that it’s needed, but it’s still a service that’s obviously set up in a way that works for young people: qi.kentcht.nhs.uk/encouraging-...

🤣 The struggle is real!

Some people are just brilliant at explaining ND experiences like this 👏

This is an incredibly useful resource with info/examples on all #NLA stages, language sampling, sensory considerations, etc., plus sections on literacy & AAC. Highly recommend! #WeSpeechies #GestaltLanguageProcessing

It warms my heart to see so many #SLTs #SLPs who recognise how naturally diverse language development is & are eager to become more neuroaffirmative

This comes highly recommended for anyone interested in developing a better understanding of autistic languaging styles from a affirmative perspective #WeSpeechies

She was a (non qualified) assistant in education. I just can’t understand how people think this sort of thing is ok.

Oh…! Perhaps education-based, but no idea about qualifications. Interestingly, this bit sort of sounds like she determines the approach professionals should use though.
