Thankful to have presented at Beneath the Behaviours Conference 2025! 🧩 Explored the powerful link between SEMH & SLCN, sharing practical tools like visuals, social stories & LEGO-based therapy. Let’s drive change together! 💡 @ULspeechtherapy @lb_southwark

I have never seen a pupil return to school after multiple exclusions & change their behaviour. It has never shocked them onto a different path. It accelerated the one they were already on. We need to address the pain based behaviour that's is driving it and find another way🧠🌱

Let's never ever forget the parents when working with SEND children! Wishing there was more collaboration between school and home 🌱 BBC News - SEND diaries: Mothers record 'typical day' parenting their children bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

An uplifting story to illustrate how some children can #thrive in smaller, therapeutic, #traumainformed environment. Often #AP #SEND #SEMH settings are frowned upon or seen as a failure for the child & family. We need to change that narrative #meettheneed www-bbc-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.bbc.co…

💔 Families are struggling. Kids and families need you. Loneliness has been declared the most prominent mental health crisis of our time. And right now, too many families are isolated with no support network. You can help. Your gift will support efforts to make sure no parent…

What we're really saying is children respond best when adults are authentically themselves. No need to put a high-pitched voice on or a stern and demanding voice on. tes.com/magazine/teach…

"Should I meet my child's needs or my child's society's needs". Doesn't only apply to parents, but to anyone who's working with children. Let's teach them to be authentically themselves, starting with being attuned to their emotions 🌱 @DrGaborMate

Without regulating the nervous system and forming positive attachments, learning can't occur.

Creating a safe space for me and a TA at an #SEMH school, where we could reflect on what a student was communicating through their behaviour might just have been my favourite thing to happen this term ❤️🌱 #SLCN #SEMH #BehaviourisCommunication

Tonight, hundreds of young people 16+ in our care system will sleep in fear, squalor, and go without food. Some ( from first-hand experience) will walk the streets all night because it's better than living in a crack house. Some will be forced to do things against their will.…
