Thank you to Widgit Symbols for updating their #Puberty pack. I noticed that period pants weren't included and contacted them. After a few discussions we agreed on the image below. A small change but hoping it will be helpful. #PeriodPants #WidgitSymbols #InclusiveCommunication

An excellent piece from @johnharris1969.bsky.social in The @newstatesman.com on his family's SEND struggles. High praise for SNJ's "battle-hardened SEND veterans" ”Don’t take away children’s rights, because if you do, you'll have a hell of a fight on your hands.” www.newstatesman.com/politic...

It's the nasty party 2.0. At least with the #Conservatives you knew what they stood for and the most vulnerable would be screwed. I did not expect Liz Kendall and #Labour to do the same. #Disability #LearningDisability #TaxTheRich

Happy European Speech & Language Day. An #OT once told me "connection before correction" which is a good mantra to live by. As someone who works in SaLT inclusive communication is the key to connection 👊🏾. #SLT #SALT #InclusiveCommunication #European #Speech #Language

BBC R4's File on 4 Investigates is a harrowing reminder that #autistic people and people with #LearningDisabilities are still locked up mental health hospitals for decades. The fallout from Winterbourne View scandal is still with us. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
