Coping well with change in routine!

They said he couldn’t speak. Now he’s helping lead a movement. 🎧 This radio interview captures the heart of it — from 10 Downing St to Sky News to 12 Hours of Hope. #TheJoshieMan #LetThemHaveTheirVoices #NonSpeakingButLeading gofund.me/46923774

He was written off. Now he’s writing the future - with no words at all. #TheJoshieMan just moved the Governor of Rio de Janeiro. 17 million people. One boy. A global shift in autism. ✊🏽 #LetThemHaveTheirVoices 🌎 #AutismoBrasil

He’s cooked in the Ritz. Stood beside Michelin-star chefs. But his warmest friendships? 🔥 Were forged in the sand. On the beaches of Rio, #TheJoshieMan found his people — Street chefs who don’t need his words. They feel his soul. They call him amigo. And they mean it.

"If provision for SEND children is no longer legally binding for mainstream schools, we will see a deepening in educational segregation. Children with the most significant SEND risk being denied a place where they can be educated alongside their peers.” bps.org.uk/news/restricti…

“We are real children, with real dreams” Please join us, Monday 15th September, 11:30 to 13:30, Parliament Square, London #FightForOrdinary

We said it loud. We said it clearly. And this time- we were heard. Last week, the autistic community did what we do best: We came together. We challenged harmful framing. And we shifted the narrative. We write our own story. #AutisticPride #TheJoshieMan

TJM brought the talkers to Brazil. Now he’s guarding each one as they’re placed in 100 homes across Rio. 100 voices. 1 boy watching over them all. He can’t wait to meet every single family his actions just changed. #TJM #LetThemHaveTheirVoices bit.ly/talkerdonate

Our research last year on what local authorities had agreed to do/cut in exchange for financial bail-outs via safety valve agreements found an overall picture of reducing the number of EHC plans and also the number of children & young people attending special schools & colleges.

There’s is nothing brave and bold about removing disabled children’s rights and forcing them into units (with no right to support) to save money. We’ve been there before. Is the government really going to regress 50 years? #SaveOurChildrensRights apple.news/AUmwUHeDJRjKHk…

SEND: DfE “modelling a range of children’s needs and deciding where these should be met in a new system.” Because obviously all children with the same diagnosis have the same needs… 🙄 tes.com/magazine/news/…

"As a politician who has advocated for people with learning disabilities, I found BEAUTIFUL LIVES a powerful read. . . Unwin's critique of policy and the current state of care makes this essential reading." Thank you, Baroness Keeley @KeeleyMP

This was the best day of my life. 12 hours. 1 nonspeaking autistic boy. Dozens of good deeds. No words. Just love. #TheJoshieMan gave: 💐 Flowers to strangers 🛒 Paid for groceries 💈 Haircuts, cakes and food for rough sleepers 🧸 Toys to hospital kids What’s next? 💪

Education ministers looking for the cause of the anger they have stirred up on EHCPs “need look no further than one EHCP for the cause of such anger. ‘What Amy dislikes…included ‘being ignored.’” lawgazette.co.uk/commentary-and…
