Bye Bye for now Edinburgh 👋 I had a lot of fun at #ITAKOM and met some lovely people 😊

Huge congratulations to Dr Georgia Pavlopoulou (she/her) and our RE-STAR youth researchers, Bee and Maciej for their brilliant #itakom talk on what it is like to deliver interviews with academic researchers and youth researchers when at least one of them is neurodivergent. Very proud of this team!

taking the chance to plug this again - if you're at #itakom and willing to let me chatter on about my project please come say hi! and tell me about you! but we can of course just say hi and talk about other things 😀

Enriching couple of days at ITAKOM #ITAKOM23 with some brilliant talks and panels. Especially enjoyed Lotta Borg Skoglund, Yulin Cheng, Paul Hugh McNeill and Pelle Sandstrak

Today at #ITAKOM we’re presenting our research on flexible seating for neurodivergent and neurotypical pupils. Heba Jayoosi Thayla bradley Laura Crane @Katy_Unwin Spencer Hayes sarah o'brien

#ITAKOM was wonderful, weird, intellectual, compassionate, authentic, inspiring, and challenged every thought I had about what to expect from a conference - in the best way possible! The past two days will stick with me for a long time to come 💙

I'm watching the ITAKOM talks that I missed live, here's one good quote 'we wouldn't berate the willow tree for failing to produce apples' Sue Fletcher-Watson

Loving this panel on Education at #ITAKOM conference.

School is not the only place to get an education & there are many other places to learn and grow.

I'm grateful to have had parents and educators who understood this.
