As we anticipate welcoming everyone back for session 2 of #𝗟𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘀 we're reflecting on its growing impact — one course, many classrooms, countless lives changed.
#Inclusion #ComplexNeeds #LiteracyForAll #PMLD
Caring for someone with #PMLD brings love & strength, but can also be deeply isolating.
It’s not the care—it’s the lack of access & inclusion.
Let’s change that.
❤️ Families deserve connection & joy.

💙 It's Carers Week 💙
At PAMIS, we recognise the incredible strength it takes to be a carer — especially for parent carers and families of loved ones with PMLD and Changing Places toilet users.
We see you, we support you, and we thank you.

This half term has been really productive. I feel clearer about my PhD study than I ever have in the last 3 years. It’s been tough. Although not sure my back will survive. Too computer work is causing havoc with my back. Onwards to submission. #PhDlife #finalweeks #PMLD #pedagogies
There’s power in simply 'being with' people. Tuning into different experiences of time creates deeper trust & supports emotional well-being for people with PMLD.
Inspired by @jo3grace.bsky.social and Melanie Nind.

recognise there are only so many hours in the day and maybe more cannot be done, but what is done can be done differently.
Neurotype is significant regardless of mental and physical ability.

Poster from the Front and Centre exhibition.
A young man wearing a blue shirt, brown cargo pants and a baseball cap is studying the photos in the exhibition. The photos are on the gallery wall and they are of people with multiple disabilities. They are glorious and life affirming.
Harry and I were delighted to be invited to the launch of the ‘Front and Centre’ photography exhibition at the Ikon gallery.
Thank you to Changing Our Lives.

A close up of lots of lush, green plants. Their are many different species with different shaped leaves and patterns. They are in plant pots. They are outside and the sun is shining on them.
A corridor with lots of wooden crates stacked up in it. There are people working at the end of the corridor, in front of an open door. It looks like they are setting up for something.
A green background. Bold white text reads When the World Turns. In the middle of the image, a photo shows two people sitting surrounded by plants and soft lighting. A pink spiral drawing sits of the top of it and more white text that follows the spiral reads Join us in a living, breathing, sensory adventure. Below the photo, white text Last few places available - book now!
Oily Cart have arrived! They're busy setting up for "When the World Turns", coming to LEVEL this week! Limited places left - book here: www.levelcentre.com/when-the-world-turns

Over 2000 listens of my EP on SoundCloud. It represents what might be traditionally considered “findings” in qualitative research. Currently writing up my PhD thesis. Hope to submit by the end of September this year. #PMLD #pedagogy #artsbasedresearch #relationalontologies #Spinoza

Big thanks to the team at the Royal Opera House for a wonderful CPD session last week exploring the #CreateandSing #sensory focussed resources for #PMLD. Using the #multisensory world of #Opera to engage #creativity is inspiring. The responses this week are so heartwarming.
My thesis is out, people are reading it, and I didn't even know!
