Grateful to have been interviewed for this article exploring why psychology in schools matters — now more than ever. At a time when political decisions are reshaping the educational landscape, it’s vital that the voices of psychologists are not just heard but embedded in these conversations….1/2

Shout out to Microsoft Windows and 365 for wanting to update while I’m in the flow of writing reports and trying to filter out every distraction under the sun. Yes you warned me earlier but I was in flow then too ☹️

Have you heard about the new eBook raising funds for Palestinian people? 🧵 Ways of Being, Knowing & Doing: An Anthology for Neurodivergent Practice, edited by Lisa Chapman (@commonsenseslt.bsky.social) and Kim Mears with many contributors from the Autistic community:

Thank you 🙏🏾

Interoception is so important to consider and rarely spoken about or understood in schools. Some of what we might recommend or even do as parents can inadvertently encourage young ppl to disconnect from their body’s natural communication. This is a really helpful video.

I'd like to have this in my toolkit both as parent and EP - is out of stock everywhere I've looked so far (UK) - any thoughts, 🦋?

A wonderful day training on Intersectionality &autism with the amazing assistant psychologists at EdPsychs I shared my research thesis on masking autistic black girls &we discussed culture, autistic perspectives &neuroaffirming approaches Excited to hear how our discussions will be applied

If you’re in the UK, get prepared to play the game ‘Do you know where your wheelie bin is?’ It’s a whole street player game. #StormDarragh
