So one of our amazing @NextLevelCollab program facilitators has drawn herself, Jess and myself, and this has made my day.

I was already super excited for TOTK, but now even more so! Many of our @NextLevelCollab players need extra time to process information, and they can find it harder to keep up with fast-moving visuals. This is such a great way to build inclusivity into the game itself! 👏🏻

Excited to move the @NextLevelCollab team into our @MAPUniMelb space, joining other awesome teams working there (I'll base myself at Melbourne Connect Thursdays and Fridays if you are in the neighbourhood). We have already added a few very 'Next Level' touches to our team desk...

What we do with the tool matters more than the tool itself. A great example of HOW to use technology to make a difference… rather than marginalising difference 👇❤️ Congratulations @jessrowlings & @hattdesigns

Great to be presenting today at @SpeechPathAus National Conference with @jessrowlings and @StephanieAWeir on Autistic perspectives on social skills programs (just don’t tell anyone that I’m not a speechie - got past the sniffer dogs on the door without detection)

We see you. The neuro-questioning mum, looking back at your life. The autistic mum, wondering how you are going to balance everyone’s needs-including your own. The neuro-typical ally mum, respecting and walking this path alongside your ladybug. #HappyMothersDay2022
