If you are in Thessaloniki, Greece on 2nd April, come to the main library of the city to talk about autism (the talks will be in Greek) #WorldAutismAwarenessDay

One of the best conferences on PMLD, which is fully online and asynchronous so that you can attend at your own pace. Extra bonus that it is VERY cheap and all funds collected will go to PMLD charities! Happy to be part of it!

Very proud of Dr Rosie Rushton. Congratulations!

Absolute chaos at Munich Airport. Due to snowfall, thousands of people are being tortured. Most flights are cancelled but people are left to fly into and they get stranded. Once you are here, there is nothing you can do other than spend the night on a chair. Great service, thanks!

We were delighted to have a guest speaker from DISN today at the International Hellenic University (Early Years Department) ! Dr Emmanouela Terlektsi gave us a superb introduction to deaf education. Thanks Emmanouela! Some more guests and talks to come I hope!

Very happy about my Honorary Senior Research Fellowship with DISN and College of Social Sciences!! Part of me is still there despite the many miles in-between us!

Just finished my visiting online lecture on “Educational research and learners with SLD/PMLD” for the DISN SLD/PMLD pathway. It was so nice to see UoB colleagues and meet the new students. I am so glad that the pathway has been left in the hands of the amazing Helen Bradley!

New month, new job, new country! Here with the Dean of the International Hellenic University, Prof Stamatios Aggelopoulos.

❤️❤️❤️

Many thanks to my dear colleague Helen Bradley (Helen Bradley) for organising this goodbye and good luck e-card from the SLD/PMLD students! I very much enjoyed working with you guys and I will also miss you loads! Let’s stay in touch! Good luck with the rest of your studies!
