New printing! I still get a bit of a thrill whenever I see my stuff professionally printed.

Some promotional stuff for training and resource packs.

Bookmarks (front and back) doing a slightly deeper dive into aspects of autistic cognition, sensory, and connection.

Pens (I should have ordered more than I did, because they look awesome). The blue background is what I use on most of my printed stuff, it is the communication bill of rights and then about 1000 different ways people communicate, or seek to connect with others.

And our stickers, now professionally printed onto vinyl so they are now water proof.

A few slides from the presentation I am working on for the WildFire Wellbeing Services Wildfire conference on September 3rd.

This is the frustrating part of presentation designing, my instinct is to give people all the information, slowly building in concepts and ideas so those listening can understand something in its beautiful complexity. But that is not a 30 min presentation.

As with all my presentations the question comes down to: do we go deep on one topic, or skate across the surface.... To deep dive or to not deep dive, that is the question....

A colleague asked me the other day (as I was showing them the latest miniature ducks) if they needed to stage an intervention.

Today the latest arrivals came, in preparation for the WildFire Wellbeing Services conference, and, I think... Maybe I do..?

But goodness... They are so cute...

Putting together some training packs for next week. I'm really liking how they look. There's the slides, additional resources, then a note book, some info about us, a bag of diversity ducks, a fidget, sticky notes and a pen.
What fun! I hope the people I am training next week enjoy unpacking their training packs!
