Last month we interviewed @FrithUta for our new podcast, Let's Talk Neurosense: the psychology of neurodiversity. She touched on many of the themes in her @tes interview, in particular should we be dividing the autism spectrum into subgroups and how masking has affected the way that we understand autism. Here's our interview.

7/ Rethink Needed 🔍: The “velcro model” (TA constantly attached to one pupil) is counterproductive for fostering independence. Adopting a "helicopter approach" aligns with best practices for building student resilience.

Current school behaviour approaches are failing children. They punish them for having problems, while doing little to help them solve them.
It's time we stopped firefighting with ridiculous, childist carrots/sticks approaches

The government continues to draw a false equivalence between quality provision and earnings after graduation.
We reject the implication that careers in the creative arts are not ‘rewarding’ and that creative arts courses are ‘low value’.

As @nseadgensec1 says @TheNFER report really is a warning light for the @educationgovuk. Our subject is set to fall 20% below its teacher supply target. Now is the time to reintroduce bursaries for art and design trainees
NSEAD's response to the very depressing predictions from @TheNFER on teacher recruitment, esp for specialists subjects like #ArtAndDesign facing 20% below target - 10% drop from last year nsead.org/news/newsroom/teac… #SaveOurSubjects #SupportOurSchools

Our hearts are with a family of our school who have suffered a devastating loss.
Please see the Gofund Me page which our parents have set up.

Please share widely as all funds raised will go to the three young children who have lost both mummy and daddy.
