Glasses are so important for supporting children with special needs.
When I visited Moorcroft Special School, I saw the great work @SeeAbility undertake there - and I wholeheartedly support their developments in providing SEND children the best opportunities to learn.
We’re excited to launch our new film on our sight testing work, featuring the stars of @Greenvalesch!
Yesterday was #InternationalDayOfPeopleWithDisabilities & children with learning disabilities are 28x more likely to have sight loss!

I'm coming to the end of UNbroken @AQuinnUnbroken So far it's done two things 1. Given me a sense of privilege as you open your life-door and 2. A sense of resolve to stay in the fight against institutional abuse. It's so great, but I hate what happened to you.

Listening to the horror that is people's experience of abuse, particularly in ATUs. Why the apathy? Why are things still the same? @BendyGirl I was struck by your straightforward presentation of how cruel our systems can be. As you say "how can we humanize one another?" Inspired.

You may have seen our work in India, and the awful flooding in Kerala. We are sending all our love and support to those affected. We know our @IPCAI friends are involved in rescue efforts on all levels and we urge them to keep safe and take care. Our thoughts are with you

Many @LearningDisEng members are working specifically to help people with learning disabilities live longer and healthier but we need to co-ordinate & strengthen our action @changepeople_ @uk_beyondwords @Certitude @TurningPointUK @Choice_Support @mylifemychoice1 @DimensionsUK
We wrote to @cj_dinenage saying what we think can help the government act faster to stop people dying early. Read it here bit.ly/2AdSey0
Can you help add to that list & move everyone to action? #LeDeR

G was 2 yrs old when I was told, “you’re clearly not accepting your child is ‘handicapped’, you won’t do him any favours by being so difficult“ So glad I ignored that particular professional advice. He’s 28 now & has a great life, ta! #rightfulives

When you ask most people what is important to them, they say family &friends. but for people with LD it often gets forgotten. People like G need help to keep friendships going. Here he is with his bestie of 25 years. #weallneedfriends

We've supported @PaulaMc007 's petition to make learning disability and autism training mandatory for medical professionals. #MyGPandMe data shows GPs feel they need additional training in communication and reasonable adjustments. Please consider signing petition.parliament.uk/petit…

The call for compulsory training for all health professionals on learning disability and autism BY people with learning disability and autism is growing louder. If you agree, ask your MP to support this early day motion from @normanlamb parliament.uk/edm/2017-19/13… #MyGPandMe nitter.siddz.com/TheLancetPsych/status/…

60% of people with learning disabilities said they their GPs did not make reasonable adjustments for them. Most GPs said they need training in how to support patients with learning disabilities. Read our #MyGPandMe report. dimensions-uk.org/get-involv…
