I have had the pleasure of 2 visits to @uofglasgow.bsky.social in the past 24 hours for the #ESRCFestival I was presenting on AI and the future of work yesterday, in the context of career guidance and then this morning I was back attending the excellent @uofgpolicy.bsky.social event on childcare.

A busy day ahead of promotion for my book. At midday I'll be with the @thecdi.bsky.social for a Meet the Author Webinar, then I'm recording a podcast about all things practitioner-led research with my long-term friend and collaborator Uuganaa Ramsay. Looking forward to a day of good conversations!

It is Dyslexia Awareness Week 2025. So many myths still to bust, one or me is the assumption that dyslexia cannot be identified until a child is approaching the end of primary school. Re-sharing our feature from the Dyslexia Voice magazine from earlier this year that tells my son's story.

I am in this summer's Dyslexia Scotland magazine, Dyslexia Voice, talking about the journey to identification for children who have co-occurring conditions such as #autism and the often later identification process in #gaelicmediumeducation #GME

As a parent of neurodiverse children I'll be attending and participating in as much as I can to learn more. The stereotypes and misconceptions misled us for so long, not realising that what we were seeing in front of us, from day 1, was neurodiversity.
