Last week, I attended an ADHD and Autism (ASD) workshop in London, gaining valuable insights from leading experts in the field on current research, assessment, and evidence-based practice.

A particular highlight was hearing directly from neurodivergent individuals and family members who shared their lived experiences and perspectives. Their voices are invaluable in deepening our understanding and shaping more meaningful, person-centred support.

It was also a pleasure to meet several authors whose work has contributed significantly to the field and to add their books to my professional library.

Grateful for the opportunity to learn from experts, individuals, and families alike, and to continue developing my practice in support of neurodivergent people and their communities.

Working with children every day has taught me that the challenges we are seeing cannot be solved through bans alone.

The issue is far more complex. Children’s relationships with technology, social media, and the wider world are shaped by the environments in which they grow up. Lasting change requires a cultural shift, not simply restrictions.

While proposals to raise the minimum age for social media use may contribute to that cultural shift, it is important to recognise that the details matter. At present, Ofcom has indicated that it will set out options in the coming months for effective age-assurance measures to determine whether someone is over 16 in ways that are accurate, robust, reliable, and fair. Until those details are available, it is too early to conclude whether this will be an effective policy.

It may help move the conversation in the right direction, but we should be cautious about viewing it as a complete solution. If we want healthier outcomes for children and young people, we must also address the broader factors influencing their wellbeing.

That means supporting parents with the time, financial security, and resources needed to be more present in their children’s lives. Strong family relationships, shared experiences, community connection, and opportunities for meaningful engagement remain some of the most powerful protective factors for young people.

The real question is not simply what we ban, but how we create a society that better supports children, families, and healthy development. Real change requires cultural, social, and economic investment not just regulation.

Autism and ADHD assessment is a process that requires careful observation, comprehensive evaluation, and collaborative teamwork.

Our goal is to understand each child holistically and connect them with the right support and resources.

Last week, I had the privilege of attending a networking event organised by Zubeyde Aydemir, Lead for Turkish and Kurdish Achievement and Inclusion and Co-Assistant Head of Inclusion, as part of Haringey’s ongoing commitment to promoting equity, inclusion, and improved outcomes for all children and young people. The event focused on supporting Turkish, Kurdish, Turkish Cypriot, and Turkish Bulgarian (TKTCB) pupils, a well-established and significant community within the borough.

It was a pleasure to present on When Behaviour Hides Need: Challenges in Identifying SEN in Ethnic Minority Children. My presentation explored how behavioural difficulties, racism, cultural factors, and systemic barriers can contribute to Special Educational Needs (SEN) being overlooked or identified later in children from ethnic minority backgrounds. Drawing on a clinical case example from private practice, we discussed the importance of looking beyond behaviour to better understand and meet children’s underlying needs.

The event provided a valuable opportunity to share knowledge, expertise, and effective interventions, while also learning from the dedicated professionals who work tirelessly to support children, young people, and their families.

This work holds a particularly special place in my heart. As the child of second-generation immigrants, I understand first-hand the challenges of navigating the education system while balancing cultural identity, language, and belonging. Being in a position today to contribute to improving understanding, inclusion, and outcomes for children from similar backgrounds is both a privilege and a deeply meaningful part of my work.

Thank you to everyone involved for creating such an insightful and inspiring event, and for your continued commitment to ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive.

This might be controversial to some, but I’m in this profession because I’m a people person. I value connection. Authenticity.

Yes, skills, techniques, knowledge, and theory all matter. Ethics and codes of practice matter too. But sometimes, a genuine human connection can go such a long way—for both people.

These came all the way from Brazil 🇧🇷 and this isn’t even everything. I’ve got a whole bag of goodies.

A gift from a client… who, after many years of working together, has become more than just that.

What really stayed with me isn’t the gifts, it’s the thought behind them. The effort. The care. The connection.

And honestly, that made me really happy.
