This morning Siobhán Uí Dhálaigh gave a truly excellent presentation for @AusomeIreland on authentic autistic inclusion. The concept that shone out was Belonging. How can we ensure a sense of real belonging for autistic people at school, in work, in society?
There was so much love, emotion and quiet but devastating power in @ElaineMcgreevy ‘s conference presentation for @AusomeIreland on Exploring Emotions. I have never ‘felt’ someone’s words in that way outside of poetry. Extraordinary 🙏
Fabulous talk from @ElaineMcgreevy 🤗🤗🤗🤗 slide is all the ways we can language
This is why we need change. @KieranRose7 @AusomeIreland 😭😭💔
Provide social opportunities not social skills. 🥰🥰
Help children self advocate and be a safe person 💜 @AusomeIreland
Yesterday was immense. Max’s video on using s2c was brilliant & 💔 when he described being one of the lucky few to be given a way to communicate. Makes me even more determined to fight! Looking forward to today & @ElaineMcgreevy & @KieranRose7 & more 🤗🤗 @AusomeIreland
We are reaching a tipping point and things are changing. An ecology of nurture. @KieranRose7 @AusomeIreland
Katie Kerley - how can we be an ally. @AusomeIreland
Focus on mental wellness -Eoin Stephen @AusomeIreland
Fantastic intro from Evaleen. Let’s rewrite the narrative. Now Eoin starts the day. 🤗
Absolutely!
I’m here and ready to go. Very exciting 🤗 @AusomeIreland
Hooray. Really excited

5/5 @DivergentSLT @WFarahslt @ian_cushing @vishinair5 with sincere thanks to @KimMears1 for sharing 💜 Real food for thought here for so much of what we do as Speech and Language Therapists, and a framework for asking the questions to help our profession engage with this journey
4/5 "For multiply minoritized students, they (hegemonic ideologies of language) chart a dehumanized educational journey plagued with bottlenecks to access, detours to academic growth, and lowered expectations for learning."
3/5 "The main idea from this paper is that these ideologies ...(Language as objectified, as a nation-state, as idealised) are more than names; they become entrenched in policies, have real-life consequences."
2/5 "The latter (SLT) is particularly relevant as these authorities also can determine what is acceptable or unacceptable when the linguistically objectified set of structures produced are perceived as unintelligible or fail to adhere to a particular set of idealized criteria."
1/5 Rethinking SLT @RCSLT @RCSLTLearn @RCSLTResearch @ndasltcen "In a system that positions minoritized students as subjugated, the ultimate entitlement to ownership of a language/way of languaging is held by the teacher or SLT." pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/20… & researchgate.net/publication/37…

As a parent of an #ActuallyAutistic YP it sometimes feels like I'm in the middle of a desert. My oasis; home, friends, community is a safe place to rest/ restore energy, but beyond, the environment can be harsh, relentless, never-ending. It is good to know where the next oasis is
Oh that's, me that is! 😁
We've already had over 170 people register for the next Wellbeing Hub talk! If you'd like to join us on the evening of the 16th May to hear @nicolaleaking discuss 'Young autistic people and the importance of self-understanding', registration details are in the tweet below 👇
Wore this from @inrainbowsirl My daughter asked me why I was wearing a trans T-shirt at an Autistic conference I explained when we have a platform it is a privilege we don’t waste on ourselves- we use it to elevate the more marginalised in our community
