I always bear this in mind, as to me it's a key tenet of Educational and Child Psychology. Similar to our family sayings of: "A stitch in time saves nine" and "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Creating meaningful belonging, and "mattering" is so vital. #edpsychs #reflections

I think a massive opportunity for children with additional needs would be to scrap the Friday spelling test. I cannot emphasise the amount of anticipatory anxiety and stress this can cause our children who (in a lot of cases) don’t benefit from it. Often they have memory difficulties. #EdChatIE

I think there can be a bit of a preoccupation with labelling at times (ducks for cover) - esp to the detriment of putting in supports, relationship building &evidence based interventions in place based on the child’s needs as they present. Chdrn exist within systems&they often need change. #edchatie

A real opportunity can present when schools learn how to work flexibly and use SET support in a way that meets the child where they’re at. EG if a child is reluctant to come to school, can they assign someone to be a ‘one good adult’ to build a rapport with them & increase feeling safe. #EdChatIE

#Edchatie meeting this evening starts in less than 2 hours, from 8.30pm to 9.30pm. Organise your mug of tea / glass of wine / dinner and be ready to flex your typing fingers on the topic of additional needs in Irish education. What are the barriers? What are the opportunities? Come have a chat!
