Learning Disability Awareness Week, lots of positives flying around and talk of changing attitudes but not a lot of substance IMO. So, what can you, as a professional in non specialist services learn/do? A thread.🧵

Twitter is the platform I've built my career from, but it's been getting harder and harder to justify spending time curating posts, you may have noted I've posted little of note in the last year or so. 1/

Weightlifting in children is SAFE if dosed and loaded correctly and no, it doesn't stunt growth.

Just a few weeks to go until I dip my feet into the muddy waters of Physio again. For a few days at least. I’ll be speaking both days, and one more session than @theLDphysio got. Seems right to me 👍 invt.io/1txbrb9cnpq

"Whilst on placement I'm now less afraid to get things wrong. Now, I am trying different approaches and finding many of these work better. I wouldn't have been confident to try these at the beginning of placement" A reflection from a student at the end of week 4

Replying to @1985Deanne
Exactly. It alleviates responsibility from all professionals working within the education system. This is why so many children with SEND are failed. Because they are perceived as someone else’s responsibility.

Just to give you some perspective on this, I support a young person who is looking at transitioning to SEN services, none of the local schools have a place until 2027... BBC News - Parents lose hope as watchdog says Send system broken - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn0d…
