Grateful to chat to Martin Littler in person last night, about ATIA conference I attended in America through The British Assistive Technology Scholarship scheme. Martin has done so much for the scholarship & in field of #AssistiveTechnology An honour to chat to him. #ATscholars will happen again next year

Seriously concerned by this advert. 'Stages & sequence of interests"? What rubbish! Then a promise to help others 'reduce' them. I can detect behaviorism hiding in plain sight. I wonder what 'robust evidence' is quoted 🤔. This looks like a webinar to avoid!

It appears that British schools are spending a lot of time controlling exactly which black shoes teenagers are allowed to wear, and their parents are frustrated about it. This is effectively control of their parents, since they are buying the shoes and many are told at short

Enjoyed spending the day at Communication Works North. Great to hear from Mary Lavender first thing this morning. I enjoyed the presentation on accessibility in the workplace and finding out about some new switchy tech. So many ideas to try...
