Researcher in neurodiversity, new lecturer at University of Bristol School of Psychological Science
Last week, the Learning About Neurodiversity at School #LEANSproject celebrated 3 years since releasing our 100% free classroom resources.
Changing minds and practices takes time--thank you SO much for continuing to download, share, and use LEANS, wherever you are in the world!

Resesearchers, can you help? My wonderful MSc student Esther is recruiting NOW for an online interview study on how uni-based academic/clinical researchers think and talk about neurodevelopmental diversity in their everyday work (postdocs + up).

We've had loads of spam sign-ups, so really need YOU!

Shared this elsewhere but cross-posting here!
VERY excited to share my NEW JOB! 🥳🥳🥳
Last week, I started a fixed term lectureship at @BristolUniPsych
. The department could not have been nicer or more welcoming as I settle in and sort out the details of my new role. 1/2

The Belonging in School resource was 6 months old on March 20, and we're still celebrating! If your school is working on inclusion policies, check it out for tools and ideas. All content and our intro webinar are FREE and downloadable for everyone 👇

We’re halfway to happy birthday! 6 months ago we launched Belonging in School, a free, school-level resource for educators who want to develop more inclusive policies. Haven’t seen it yet? Download the content and watch our introductory webinar here! inclusion.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk

I'm planning to stop lurking and start posting...with the news that we've recently passed 7000 downloads of the Learning About #Neurodiversity at School (LEANS) resource! Thank you to everyone who has helped share and promote along the way ❤️
