@McNiffecent Happy birthday Jack 🎂🎂🎂
@roseblago @Independent_ie It should be but sometimes is barely education
@McNiffecent @stjamesdublin @HSEDubMidlands Great to see you Jack buddy ❤️❤️
irishexaminer.com/news/munster/a… So many families are in crisis. When will the Government & @HSELive @roinnslainte @CarrollJennifer @NormaFoleyTD1 @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD @DeptCDE start giving families the support they need to prevent crises? #WhoCares @rtenews @VirginMedia_TV
Unbelievable that this is happening in 40 of our schools. Further evidence of the need for reforms based on the principles of inclusion and equity. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
@PSI_DBA can a BSP and HCAC registered Consultant practitioner psychologist work in Ireland without registering here?
@DeptCDE @NormaFoleyTD1 A massive regression for vulnerable children
@Independent_ie Home programme needs to be cancelled. It should be in school end of.
@Breegemw @thejournal_ie This makes total sense
@rte Is it a good school for the pupils?
@IrishTimes When did his school find out and what was done about it?
@AutisticDoctor Exactly Mary. They want to keep them disabled. There's more money in it
My son has end of school exams this week. He is dyspraxic & has a scribe. Nobody questions whether his answers are written by him. Nobody assumes his scribe is the author. And just because a scribe could technically influence his marks, no one is calling for scribes to be banned!
No, non-speaking autistics who communicate via typing are not "a fraud" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/au… the real problem, which this letter ignores, is hyping & selling & imposing "assisted" typing methods on autistics, without any regard for whether autistics are being helped or harmed

@MelAinscow @intl_ed_news @guardian Can you define inclusion in an education context
Today, our Executive Director Elizabeth Bonker was featured on @NBCNews! Thank you, @VickyNguyenTV and NBC News, for your steadfast, uplifting, and honest journalism. We appreciate you bringing communication rights to the attention of your viewers. nbcnews.com/now/video/nons…
@GarNob Doesn't surprise me .- this attitude to children has been consistent through her various government positions @NormaFoleyTD1
Absolutely shameful. Minister Norma Foley is insisting on the shut down of Barnardos, Tigala and Gallore in favour of having political control on a child’s voice in childcare proceedings for herself - and the first thing she does is insist that she won’t allow historic and current vital information about children to be carried into her new service.
Thousands of vulnerable children’s records ‘may be destroyed’ in coming weeks irishtimes.com/crime-law/cour…
