Very excited to be speaking at the EPMC community learning day on 9th January. I've often held off talking about my personal experiences in a professional context, but the state of the system makes it more urgent. "What does the welfare system take from families" See you there #edpsychs

Really pleased to announce our first set of speakers, with more exciting announcements to come. It’s guaranteed to be a great day, accessible to all. I look forward to seeing you there!☺️ #edusky #edpsychs #psychology

Really recommend Motivational Interviewing training with @fionacoley.bsky.social and @drcathyatkinson.bsky.social. They bring such humility and warmth, valuing everyone’s contributions no matter where you are in the learning hierarchy (for me, still at the acquisition stage but I’m ok with that!) 🤩

Hello bsky 😊 (EBSCOA and Scopus are not helping atm) I am looking for any writing, academic or not, videos, podcasts that explore autistic experience (especially joy) from a decolonising perspective. Ditto neurodivesity affirming approaches to Global Majority autistic families. Thank you.

A turn of the wheel with the Autumn Equinox today 🌗☀️ A time of balance to reflect on your harvest - what you have worked hard to grow, develop and achieve? Also a time to consider what you'll let go ahead of the coming winter, where we consolidate our energies. What are your equinox reflections?

Still taking in the @edpsy.bsky.social festival and the honour of interviewing Bernard Coard with Sathya. It felt like an energising way to end a day of listening to inspiring speakers and planning for a better future for children, families, and ourselves.
