New Blog Post on Play Radical 🙃 it’s light and joyful and all about cups cups cups. Head to playradical.com/blog for a read 🌱🦺👷🏿💥👏🏻 #play #playwork #playworker #loosepartsplay #looseparts #inclusiveplay #keepplaying

So, how’s it going? Life has gotten real weird huh? I spent last week in full panic problem solving mode as I tried to come up with magical creative solutions to somehow make things feel as normal as possible. A lack of schedule, things changing all the time and having to a lot of verbal communication on the phone and over video are all things i find exhausting. I burnt out pretty quickly and started to realise that going all in like that wasn’t going to work for me. Because things aren’t normal and they’re also going to be ‘not normal’ for a while. I need to pace myself, process things and adjust. I need to be okay with feeling excited and playful one hour and like I want to hide under the bed the next. That’s all okay. We’re in this apart-together. I hope you are all able to be kind and patient with yourselves like I’m really trying to be. When you feel a spark of playfulness follow it. The more serious and scary things get the more important that instinct and ability is 💛 Im gonna keep trying to bring the silliness, creativity and connection as Play Radical and sharing that with you all when my body and brain allows. Be gentle with yourselves and each other pals 🌱🌱🌱Pictured: me waiting to start on online session work a young person this morning. #play #creativity #keepplaying #artist #burnout #autism #autisticadults

New blog post today! Bit of a personal one but about something pretty important to a lot of us: communal spaces. What does this mean to an autistic person? #autism #autistic #asn #spd #actuallyautistic #play #playworker #teaching #inclusion #accessibility

Hey pals! I now have a Resources page (www.playradical.com/resources ) on my website where you can download A4 & A3 poster versions of visuals I create and use when training and facilitating different kinds of spaces. Currently you can find my Quiet Space and Stim Freely posters as well as a new version of my ‘Just Climbing a Tree’ image. 🌲 🌲 🌲 I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want to do with Play Radical and a large part of that is about sharing practice and ideas. So this is one way I’m trying 🙃 If you find a way to use any of these in your practice I’d love to hear about it. As well as any requests or suggestions folks have! #play #playworker #inclusion #inclusiveplay #autism #autistic #accessible #quietspace #asn #spd #artist #neurodiversity
