I'd point out to the DfE (despite the many questions I have on #SENDReforms). They are moving towards a more neuroaffirming practice.

Inclusion Standards, Neurodivergence Task & Finish and the death of diagnosis first. So anything that ignores kids for a 'autism isn't real' really out of step.

"For children in mainstream settings, these resources serve as a first point of contact, affirming their identity and supporting self-understanding."

In the context of ISP this is a absolute 💯 read. #SENDreforms

So @spcialndsjungle.bsky.social on #SendReforms

"Some are misinterpreting a perceived muted response so far with agreement. It’s not"

Bang on here with this.

SEND reforms ‘are a missed opportunity’ to dismantle the barriers driving disabled pupils from mainstream The government’s long-awaited reforms to the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system are a missed opportunity to dismantle the barriers that continue to drive disabled young people…

Caroline's Thoughts | Caroline Keep OK #SENDReforms because I care deeply about this one. Gave it a few hours of my time today, heres my thoughts after a proper read and do one of my famous deep dives. I have colour coded it for you all...

Best quote I’ve seen today about the #sendreforms is “we don’t fix the kid to fit the system, we fix the system to fit the kid”. Not sure that is going to happen. Arbitrary targets such as halving the gap is just nonsense and won’t work.

Screenshot from Schools White Paper - Chapter 2: Narrow to broad Chapter 3: Sidelined to included Chapter 4: Withdrawn to engaging

I see DfE have adopted a similar "three shifts" approach to #SENDreforms that DHSC used for the NHS 10 Year Plan

All I'll say on #SENDreforms now is you don't fix the kid to fit the system. You fix the system fit the kid. Not sure this is doing that.

Education care plans to be reserved for most complex SEND cases by 2035 The changes to the SEND system in England are designed to help manage costs that have increased sharply in recent years.

Philipson talks of supporting children ‘who don’t fit the mould’.

Then where is the effort to reshape the mould?

Kids might thrive if we change classroom systems, the subject system, the exams /assessment system … especially after Gove reforms.
