Wired and Inspired! - Envisioning a world that inspires the differently wired

Professionally speaking, I had a really good year capped by winning a National Teaching Assistant Award to become a Dyslexic Champion for Dyslexic Mum sponsored by Twinkl. I also won the college's Innovation Award, recognising my use of trackers, assistive technology, and inspiring learners to embrace technology. 

Since the end of term, I have been collaborating with Collette from Dyslexic Mum. I have been providing resources such as information on the availability of dyslexia assessments, how to respond to a government SEND consultation, and sharing market research to promote a petition to address social inequality in accessing dyslexia assessments. Based on this work, I have been offered the role of Brand Ambassador.  

However, there has been some difficulty receiving acknowledgement without owning my personal brand as a platform to share these resources. So my new venture into social media marketing and advocacy will be called "INSPIRED and WIRED - Envisioning a world that inspires the differently wired."

This new academic year, I have timetabled to deliver ICT courses. So, I hope to incorporate developing the brand as part of the course, allowing learners to develop new skills in content creation, social media strategy, and branding. 

Welcome aboard INSPIRED and WIRED - Envisioning a world that inspires the differently wired! I'm excited to continue advocating for neurodiversity, assistive technology, and empowering students to embrace their full potential. Let's make this year one of meaningful impact.
