“It’s a disaster. A total disaster area….Parents already have to fight for EHCPs at a time when local authorities have had their budgets slashed and many academy trusts don’t have the resources or expertise to deal with the issue.” thesun.co.uk/news/23981493/d… – at Epsom, South East

As #LearningDisabilityWeek draws to a close, please can I ask organisations to look at and share the website I created to increase access for all #SEND in museums, galleries and heritage settings. Not just LD focused but lots of practical advice. Thanks 💜

The huge rise in the Tribunal’s outstanding caseload over the past year shows a SEND system at crisis point.
Non-compliance with SEND law has become so endemic in local authorities, leaving children & young people without vital educational support during lengthy appeal waits.
Not sure people are aware of the crisis in our SEND tribunal system and the thousands of children stuck in limbo waiting for appeals.

2019 theguardian.com/education/20… A 10-year-old boy with special needs who complained of bullying was forced by staff to listen to classmates listing the reasons they didn’t like him – and had to write these on a hand-drawn poster that was then stuck on his classroom wall.
In a case that campaigners say highlights the need for specialist teaching resources, Damian Lightoller’s son, who has traits of autism, ADHD and oppositional defiant disorder and is on the special education needs register, was told by his peers he needed to “stop shouting”, “stop annoying us” and “be happy, not sad” if he wanted to have better relationships with them.

🛑 Less than 40% of autistic students complete their course at university and are nearly 10 times more likely to drop out. These statistics need to change!
👏 We are therefore delighted to share this petition: petition.parliament.uk/petit…

For nearly a year, I've been talking to Molly & her family. She's #autistic, +struggles with #anxiety+eating problms. Stuck in a general hospital as there was no more appropriate support, this is her story. It's also the story of many others with autism.

Just think about this for a second
And also think about the fact that when I first started writing about this a few years ago the figure was around £600
Also have a think about the fact that PIP - the benefit designed to cover these costs - is £627 IF you get the highest rate
Today @scope we have published the latest Disability Price Tag.
We've found the extra cost of disability is now, on average, £975 per month for disabled households.
Factoring in inflation, the Price Tag of disability rises to £1122.
