Working in special education is usually brilliant, always fun, sometimes awful, but the kids are by and large fun in some way or how. And will always surprise you or make you laugh so hard it hurts.
I am however exhausted because I’ve moved to PMLD from SMEH and I’d forgotten how much energy I have

I single experience is a good default, but not always
If you’re supporting broad audiences a seperate product or UI can make a lot of sense
For example BBC News versus BBC Newsround. A website ‘somewhere in the middle’ doesn’t work for either audience
Often the case with PMLD groups too.

I can only speak from personal experience, but on a comparative basis we are chronically underfunded (c.£13k flat rate top up for SLD/PMLD). That may be due to the money being spent elsewhere, but it is also due to the systems the LA chooses to employ.

there's no guarantee your daughter will receive anything. it’s just as likely she goes into the pmld budget alongside children who need hoists & tracheostomy care and suddenly becomes least vulnerable

One of our principals (PMLD school) messaged to say a couple of her team are looking to expand a pedagogical approach they use and wanted to explore action research. I've got CCT/EEF/NFER type things and books I can pull together from, but something neat and introductory would be handy!
