Two dancers lean against each other back-to-back, looking tired. Paper-mache body parts hang around them.

Tomorrow marks the start of my #Dance Residency with Dance City. I'll be exploring #urban #affect and its impact on the Tourettic body, and considering the value of tics in performance spaces for translating experiences of #TouretteSyndrome! 🕺

Here's to making art! 🌟

I'm so excited about this upcoming volume by @wardasworld.bsky.social and have asked my subject librarian to pre-order it. Farah's book works at the nexus of race, neurodiversity and culture to rethink speech language therapy practices.

Literacy for Sale: How the “Science of Reading” Became an Industry—and Why GLPs Are Left Behind How the “Science of Reading” Became a Profitable Illusion—and Why Gestalt Language Processors Were Never Meant to Succeed Within It

The “Science of Reading” isn’t science—it’s a marketing slogan used to enshrine phonics-based instruction into law. This article explores how GLPs are excluded, remediated, and monetised by an industry built on enclosure.

Our leadership member, Daniel, has written this excellent article which reflects on matters of meaningful inclusion when organising and/or facilitating academic events.

Just published: Inclusion and Sharing Best Practice for Academic Events Facilitation ✨

The sharing of best practice is, and always will be, more important than competing for institutional accessibility accreditations!

Another shout out for @bloomsburylit.bsky.social 'Critical Neurodiversity Studies' in our med hums series, from @louisecreechan.bsky.social , Jenny Bergenmar and Anna Stenning. It's a foundational collection and one that will be very, very important for the field.

We're excited to see our paper published in @bmj.com BMJ Open today!

The paper highlights lacking prioritisation for #TicDisorders & #TS, compounded by a healthcare system with no space for multidisciplinary approaches!

Always a pleasure to work with these folks! 🤩

Catching up on the recordings of the talks I couldn't attend at the Critical Neurodiversity Studies conference from last week. This conference was an epitome of accessibility, from being fully hybrid (including ways for online attendees to network with in person ones)... 1/

This really meant so much! I had to present remotely due to my health, but with all these incredible accessibility measures in place I wish I could have been there in person! Thank you @ndhumanities.bsky.social @louisecreechan.bsky.social @drrobertchapman.bsky.social and the other organisers 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The conference was fabulous, thank you!
So many new people and great connections here - very inspiring!

You’re so welcome although we should clarify that it was @durhamimh.bsky.social who organised the conference! We just hosted the online elements on our website! so glad you enjoyed yourselves and McGee is the coolest 🥰

Helen of @autisticrealms.bsky.social has created a handy starter pack of all who were at and involved in the conference online and offline! Get in touch with Helen if you want to be added!
