We need to move away from 'perfection' and towards 'wholeness' because that is the first step towards changing the culture and the future. Brilliant via @sallyephillips 👏👏👏 #flipthenarrative 💜 #RtB3 @AspieDeLaZouch thinking ways of being 💜

Sally discusses how we could #flipthenarrative around the public perception of people who are different. Because we know how amazing life is when it's part of the whole. And it's NOT about changing people to fit a kind of 'normal' it's about a massive shift in culture #RtB3

A question to Sally now, what would she like from an #LDnurse - there aren't enough Sally says. What can we do to help change that, they know how to listen to people. Ollie blocks out pain, watching video games but to someone who doesn't know him it would be interp v diff. #RtB3

.@sallyephillips talks frankly about her experience with the DS debate and the tests discussed. Despite the unsuccessful fight against multinationals they had managed to change culture. As the #NIPT rolled out, suddenly shops like @marksandspencer had rolled out inclusion. #RtB3

The phenomenal @sallyephillips is now rounding up a superb day. She's one of the most humble people I've ever met. Talking about her son Ollie and Down Syndrome, she discusses her work with the debate on the screening for Down Syndrome. #NIPT #RtB3

Jo talks about #flipthenarrative and why the onus is on people who haven't the ability at times to use verbal communication or other ways, when it needs to be on US. Because WE need to upskill and learn how to listen. Really listen. 👏👏 #RtB3

Jo's design team get a brief - and they don't just produce rubber colourful sensory items, they produce far more inventive items because they are working with the people the products are for. #RtB3 @jo3grace

Now the wonderful @jo3grace talking about the Sensory Projects. They recently won the visual arts and design award for Meaningful co-design in action. 👏👏 #RtB3

An amazing space Rachel and her husband have created. They can put hospital beds in fields, there are hoists in the tents & #ChangingPlaces toilets. It's a space to be and it is very special - it's the world we should all be living in. 'We aren't supposed to do life alone' #RtB3

The amazing @BornatRightTime sharing her world with us. From early days of an outdoor life around the world to suddenly having a child who needed you 24/7 intensely. What they didn't realise was the essence, beauty and brilliance of life begins at that point. #RtB3

Mark discusses our input often being the reason it's harder for children to see. If we don't have a good ustanding of their visual field then we can be teaching out of sight. Exactly what happened to Ella...#RtB3

Mark reiterating the strategies that support low vision or differing vision. They actually work well for many people! Comfort, quiet, time, space, doing with, little and often, and the value of slow and simple. 👏👏👏 #RtB3 @Mindmanuk

The impact of CVI means variable vision - people may use peripheral rather than central vision. Mark mentions the importance of the #Shoenessofashoe in learning when you have areas missing or different - repetition and time are your much needed friends. #RtB3 @AspieDeLaZouch

Mark discusses the anatomy of the brain and how we are motivated to move/react to stimulus and why. The critical role of the visual cortex and how changes to that affect our brain development. Changes can be supported well but they must be acknowledged and recognised. #RtB3

.@Mindmanuk really inspired to hear Mark again. He was the person who spotted Ella was #deafblind, age seven, 5 minutes into our phone call. Won't forget how that changed her life. Mark discusses why eye, brain and vision is critical for development. #RtB3

Erren from @Achieve_Support discussing the aims they have for supporting everyone, and how they often conflict with the 'budgets' given to them. Erren talks about having to find ways to include time for 'just being together' when people really connect. #RtB3

Erren Wheatland from @Achieve_Support talks now about the work they are doing to put people at the front of everything. Also about their powerful self advocacy group @C4Cgroup. That care providers must be committed to relationships with families and enhance people's lives #RtB3

Alison talks about Julie being the critical support, for her, her son and her wife when he was in his darkest place and hour. One #human can make a huge difference for another. Heart breaking to hear but so important we all work to change this. #flipthenarrative #RtB3

Alison Pettitt talks about her son Timmy and the powerful support that centred in belief in her son and her wife. It changed their lives having a teacher believe. Timmy was deteriorating but no one knew why. Katy, made a huge difference. #RtB3

Emma reminds us that having profound and multiple difficulties does not impede you having a good life. Rather the services, support and often people create the barriers. Not the disability. #flipthenarrative #RtB3 @HappyLittleHugh

.@HappyLittleHugh quotes @RoseUnwin around hatred towards those considered low intelligence and this must stop. Emma agrees (we're all behind you!) Because we are completely missing the value they bring to our lives and what we have to learn from them. #flipthenarrative #RtB3

.@HappyLittleHugh Emma talks about her son Hugh 'He's not worried about Brexit...' he's just himself 100% of the time and is always present. Emma has been asked numerous times if she would like him resuscitated and she has to constantly justify his right to life. #RtB3

Sophie shares the @SoundsofIntent framework (which is Ofsted approved) and can flexibly support people with varying levels of understanding. Sophie explains how the assessment can be used and broken down - all shared on the website. #RtB3

.@SophEGray explains how @SoundsofIntent began. They adopted a bottom up approach unlike the #nationalcurriculum Sophie adds, including 10 years of research. It is a free online resource - communication through sound, record of attain...#RtB3

.@SophEGray workshop next discussing why #music helps everyone - it's universal, it's stress reducing, it's a communication tool without reliance on words. #RtB3

Annie asks people to share stories to help facilitate change so everyone is included. Yes - stories are key to #flipthenarrative and look at things anew. Humanly. #RtB3 @BornatRightTime

The marvellous Annie Fergusson talks about why everyone needs to be involved. She talks about the people who work with her brother being humbly connected. They clearly have solids whys in their work. Annie asks people to help review the standards and share their stories #RtB3

These 2 young women are amazing. The passion is raw & real. Their creativity is clear and their drive for #inclusion is outstanding. Their work is clearly person lead and is a must see!! Brilliant, future focused and full of energy for all to access theatre. #RtB3 @CicelyTennant

Lucy and Amanda create immersive worlds and they take risks so that their audience can experience. They use many approaches - their multi sensory interactions are an offer - no one has to respond. Only if they wish. They hold their audience in the greatest of respect. #RtB3

Lucy & Amber from @frozentheatre explain how much they have been doing with the arts to include everyone - shows that would resemble the theatre, shows some children couldn't be part of, often with schl trips. They see their shows as layers - so everyone can be involved. #RtB3
