While dealing with a serious family emergency, I have just submitted a Stage 2 funding application. One of the positive aspects of it is that I am now feeling much stronger than I thought I was. Million thanks to my fantastic mentors and collaborators. Fingers crossed🤞 School of Psychology, University of Birmingham

If you're designing slides on PowerPoint, please, I beg of you, use the Accessibility Checker! It's not perfect, but it will help you spot issues with diagrams and charts, colours and contrast, as well as everything else.

Fly high mum 🕊️ From our very first hug the day I was born to the last one… till the next one. Forever in our hearts. There are things in life that death cannot touch. 🤍 Forever grateful to my colleagues and Uni of Birmingham for all their support these last few weeks. 🙏

Although I am supposed to have my AL in August after having a terrible summer with my mum in the hospital, THIS ⬇️ makes me happy. Abstracts submitted and I am looking forward to the new academic year. Sending love to all my colleagues who support me in this difficult time.🫶

The problem isn't being the parent of a disabled child.  The child isn't the problem. The disability isn't the problem. The problem is a system that makes it impossible for parents to get their kids the support & resources they need. hollandbloorview.ca/stories-news-e…
