Excellent post from Bat, Bean, Beam: "A Modest Proposal for Solving the Crisis in 'Special Education' by next Tuesday." bat-bean-beam.blogspot.com/2018/06/a-mode… #NZ #education

Latest piece of news on why IDEA autism services have been cut, is startling; puts a very different spin on things: nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/articl…

My updated post on the cuts to IDEA autism services, in light of the latest info out re who is really "at fault": autismandoughtisms.wordpress.com/2017/04/05/und…

Some good and important points from Labour's Chris Hipkins, re the special education crisis in #NZ : chrishipkins.org.nz/parata_in_deni…

Good to see the report re use of seclusion - change is well overdue. Come on NZ, surely we are better than this. nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/articl…

Good to see that the issue of employment for autistic people is getting attention and help here in NZ: nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/articl…

Well said - if we want meaningful, positive change for those with autism, we need to focus on what we can agree on: the-art-of-autism.com/what-really-ma…
