Jo Frost 💫
your comments shock me There are a great many children who Mask whilst at school including pre-school Are you dismissing these children's feelings as not being real
@Liz_Boughton Paula McGowan OBE. Jo Frost 💫 Yeah she's giving ammo to those SENs, schools and LAs who already ignore parents having to deal with this, and often subsequently end up being labelled as bad parents
UntypicallyNeural @Liz_Boughton Paula McGowan OBE. Jo Frost 💫 Oh the joys of parenting courses to improve our skills ! Maybe some of these schools that don't care should go on the same courses.

Often it is the LAs who send parents on these courses, courses lead by people who have no training or understanding of neurodivergent people
Paula McGowan OBE. UntypicallyNeural @Liz_Boughton Jo Frost 💫 They are just tick boxes to fob us off. We went on a three weekly course (hour per week) to learn about toileting for a boy who manifested his anxieties this way. Taught us about different types of poo and very little else but had to go to tick that box. :(

I am so sorry, its just wrong
Paula McGowan OBE. UntypicallyNeural @Liz_Boughton Jo Frost 💫 Totally. He was diagnosed ADHD after months of pointless courses like this. 2nd son masked his ADHD - school refused to accept his home meltdowns were anything to do with them. He was diagnosed ADHD when our amazing 2ndry school SENDco saw what we had been saying for 6yrs. :(
