Looks like I'm going to be running from room to room all day but I'm about to colour in my programme and find the break slots.

Is anyone interested in meeting up? I'll be the one who is NOT SCARY!

"All we ask is that they love the children!"

Dear God, that is the last thing I would want someone to say.
All well and good if people like the kids. (I would add that the affection and care for the kids I work with shown by the staff, overwhelms me at times.)

But, as I always say to people. 'We're not paid to be nice. We paid to be effective.'

oh bochead

we have a lovely executive head at the moment (but maybe it means something different in our LEA?) In our case means a nice sane competent interim head sent to look after us all while everyone recovers from the last psycho head. (Well the staff /goverernors who haven't resigned in the few months 'it' was in post)
sorry to hijack.
as you were.

I've just seen this!!! I must start loitering around MN more. Is it open for general public if you register?? I am going to have to go if it is, now I have to go and sweet talk DH to drop everything so that I can travel to London from Devon.

Yes to both.
Drowning, MNers are particularly welcome.
I work with the organisers and made sure of this.
There will be plenty of other parents there do.
There'll be quite a contingent going.
If you message me I can tell you who I am.

Paisan, yes, and if you look on the webiste you'll see everything from 2011 (last time it was held)

EABG
Go to 'Downloads' for details of the three days

cool, I'll be there for all of tomorrow, I'll pm you moondog

really keen to see the sessions on MimioSprout, this has been recommended for DS.

I've messaged you DiL and will keep an eye out for you tomorrow.
Got to go and catch my train!

Moondog - which is the best session to attend on mimic reading? Juggling school run and driving across London!

I was thinking of going but as a parent decided again when, of course, there will be no attendee from my son independent special school. I have to weigh up any intervention that I could afford to implement for my son against the £60k package my LA are currently funding into this special school - school is providing a good caring service at the moment. Also I really dont want to rock my sons current levels against his renewal of DLA (transition over to PIP) now that he is in his mid teens as I feel he will need the DLA into adulthood but this can easily be taken away if 'educational progress' if shown.

Sky, I don't expect my ds' school to implement anything as a consequence of my attendance. I'm going more to learn for myself.
I'm not sure what you mean about afford either as most of what I do costs no more than a bit of stationery.

However, you do have to be prepared to be a little bit jealous of the families at the receiving end of leading interventions.

I would jump from joy if DS would show such progress that he didn't qualify for DLA, unfortunately despite my optimism it's probably unlikely to happen as a result of me parking my butt at a conference for a day....

Just to add that the woman Sickof referred to earlier does not just do ABA with her child...she has fought (and succeeded) in getting them into an ABA school!

There are no words

Anyway, as a totally unimaginative loose arrangement, I'll be in the refreshment room at refreshment time at 11am - lol.

I'll probably be with Boch because I know what she looks like, and neither of us look like us. Boch will hopefully be brave enough to wear/wave/dress as a vegetable. I might do a drawing of a carrot.

No words indeed googly Are you going?

Well I know you star so you can introduce me!

Yes of course. I didn't mean to exclude you but wasn't sure if you were going to make it by 11!?

About to send you a PM.

Moondog ignore my earlier question as have just printed out whole agenda which Star posted. Mimiosprout at 2pm looks great!

Unfortunately I'm unable to attend. I will be sending a v glamorous proxy though

I will look out for you lot at 11 but am part of the symposium that kicks off at 11:20 so of I miss you I will catch you later. Star knows what I look like. Please come and say hello!

I am not able to make it so really glad to here that the notes will be available later on.

Please, please will people come back and tell us (those unable to make it) about it.

You know what: I actually meant 10:30am! sorry.

Will still be there at 11 for a bit though, but anyone has logged on this morning then 10:30 is when I meant.

Grrrrr. Too many Children.......

Well, the childcare arrangements have gone all pete tong, so I am going to miss the pleasure of seeing you all today.

star I am away till the 7th but PM me and we can talk more about the FOI requests. Enjoy your day everyone.

Sat in work . Any of you going to be around in the bar discussing ABA after it???

I can come tomorrow, though so will nayone be there?

Sadly no joy with getting time in lieu for the PT session on Weds even though am doing an extra day next Tues

with u in spirit - will definitely be looking at notes as well - assume they'll be on the same website...

Sorry you folk can't join us. Maryeea, explains why I couldn't find you. Come tomorrow though! I'm sitting here with Star,Sickof and Drowning in laundry. Not sure where Bochead is though.
