Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is Society Failing Our Neurodivergent Children? with Ciara Reilly
Q: What are the current supports in place for autistic and neurodivergent children in schools, and where are the gaps?
The hosts and Ciara discuss that while there are some supports—like teachers, SNAs, and school leadership—these are often not enough, coordination is lacking, and training is insufficient. They emphasize the need for mandatory, comprehensive training for teachers, better early assessment pathways, and stronger multidisciplinary teams to ensure children receive appropriate, ongoing support.
Save Our SNAs! with Oneesa and Samantha
Q: What can SNAs and the wider public do at the moment?
SNAs should participate in protests, and the wider public should support and contact elected representatives.
Save Our SNAs! with Oneesa and Samantha
Q: What do you think this level of protest might achieve?
The best case scenario would be that there is a pause until the role of the SNA is redefined.
LGBTQ+ Fiction with Sarah Hagger-Holt
Q: If you could only give one piece of advice to any children or adults who love writing, or who want to be an author, what would it be?
Sarah emphasizes the importance of reading widely and not being afraid to write poorly; you can always improve later.
LGBTQ+ Fiction with Sarah Hagger-Holt
Q: Do you feel there is now a good selection of books showing the experiences of LGBTQ+ people or is there still a very long way to go?
Sarah indicates that while there has been significant progress in young adult fiction and picture books, there is still much work to be done for middle-grade readers.
