Last day at university yesterday! A mini TEP conference with all three year groups - a chance to celebrate, reflect, think & discuss. We ended with the Rose, Thorn, Bud reflection activity which was lovely. Newcastle Uni, over & out ✌🏼 #TwitterEPs

Shout out to my bestie @EmmaHutchG for not only putting yourself out of your comfort zone with presenting but doing it in the third trimester of pregnancy 👏🏼🤍 you continue to inspire me and so glad we’ve been on this TEP journey together #TwitterEPs #WomenSupportingWomen

So I’ve been meaning to do this for ages. If there’s already an established group let me know, I’ll take it down: Disabled & Neurodivergent EPs follow for containment, ideas & chat. Navigating the job, dedcpsy & education system, facing constant ableism is tiring. Let’s be tired together 🙃

This morning I’ve been looking through the autismunderstood.co.uk website by Spectrum Gaming. Produced by Autistic young people about Autism and Autistic differences. Really accessible, helpful, and the sense of humour of the writers (where appropriate) is brilliant 👏🏼

As part of my thesis project on the #transitiontoadulthood for #neurodivergent young people, I've tried to summarise my findings into three guides. These are very light touch and intended to be conversation starters - please use & share if useful!

Thank you to my lovely colleagues at Gateshead Psychological Service for my card, gift & voucher 🤍 I’ve had the best two year placement with you guys & can’t wait to come back next term as a fully qualified EP! Feeling very grateful #TwitterEPs

The best part of Year 3, for me, has been finishing my research & writing it up into something I’m proud of. I’m hopeful it’ll have positive impacts on practice 🤞🏼 continued to foster connections on placement & developed my confidence. What are yours? #TEPTuesday #TwitterEPs

Are you an EP or professional who works in youth justice? If so, I’d love you to get in touch to participate in my empirical study! I’m exploring multi-professional collaboration between educational psychology and youth justice!

The age range of my research has been extended to 21. Please like, share and get in touch. It is really important to me to hear and share the experiences of Black Autistic females masking in UK education #blackautistics #blackautisticgirls #autisticmasking #autisticresearch

I love this whole thread 🙌🏼✨ “We guide and coach and support and acknowledge and praise… when things go wrong, we concentrate on the relationship and repair and what we can learn from it” Thanks for sharing Rachel Tomlinson FRSA #ubuntu
