#JudithHeumann, the mother of the American #disability rights movement, has died. It is safe to say that without her advocacy we would still be waiting for all of the legislative and regulatory progress that protects our rights and access to schools, workplaces and public accommodations.
May her memory be for a blessing and a revolution.

Found a new #tool to help one of my #kids. A cheap couch throw pillow, about the size of her torso, to hug and squish when needed. It has been a night and day difference in her ability to sit nicely at the carpet in #kindergarten without rolling into other people's boundaries. She doesn't like pressure applied to her (no weighted blankets etc), but she NEEDS to apply pressure to things/people. Such an easy solution! And kinder to her friends to not be crush-hugged without consent. #SensoryNeeds
Somewhat belated hello. I'm a #teacher just getting into Resource/Learning Assistance, did my certification couple years ago (and then Pandemic Things Happened). I was also originally diagnosed with #ADHD in 1987 and at least one of my #kids has it as well, so I think about ADHD things a lot. I wanted to get into #specialeducation because I was a special education student myself.
Currently just recovering from #LongCovid enough to attempt to return to work #teaching .
