Everyone needs to be able to dream of better things…
Thankyou to Ahead Ireland for the opportunity to deliver a keynote presentation about career guidance & transitions titled “Sink or Swim”. My one key message - we need to do & be better if outcomes are to be improved for people with disabilities. #UDL

Reading through the experiences of learners, putting the different stories together is so important; it takes time. Just like the waves at sea, each a little different, yet part of the bigger picture.

Delighted to attend the launch for the Centre for Inclusive Pedagogy Dublin City University.
Inclusion, so often considered add-on learning is increasingly moving to be a core requirement for all engaged in education. We cannot take inclusion for granted when exclusion happens so easily.

I plan to try to make my own bread and all bread products this year. So tired of throwing out bread!
Today’s offering - homemade burger buns for burgers.
Success!

A really interesting day exploring #UDL in a different application. Inclusive #UDL approaches for Deaf practitioners teaching Deaf learner & hearing learners, with a consideration of transitions & career development for Deaf people.

As we get to the end of the year, I am reminded of the importance of taking time to recharge & revise focus for next year in a rapidly changing world. Working in the world of inclusive education is different to what it was; am I alone in thinking this? #InclusiveEducation #UDL
