This email came to me as a school and I know there are parents who may be interested in the topics and webinars described below:
Autism & Girls
First time ever for an ACAMH audience, a talk on Autism in Girls with renowned clinical psychologist, Professor Tony Attwood. Includes; camouflaging and compensation, pathways to a diagnosis, strategies to develop a positive sense of self, coping with stress, managing vulnerability in romantic experiences, and more. Delegates have access to recordings for 30 days. From £30, don't miss out, book early.
Language regression, communication development, and Autism
In this podcast we talk to Dr. Mandy Steiman, clinical psychologist at the Azrieli Centre for Autism Research, McGill University. Mandy shares key findings from her recent JCPP paper on predictors of language regression and its association with communication development in children with autism.
Professor Tony Attwood - Autism & Anxiety
Research and clinical experience confirms an association between autism and anxiety. In this talk Tony will look at adaptations to therapy, behavioural signs, managing a meltdown, education resources and activities, relevance of delayed Theory of Mind abilities, and more. Full details on the ACAMH website
Language regression, communication development, and Autism
In this podcast we talk to Professor Will Mandy, of Clinical, Educational and Health Psychology at UCL. Will explains what ‘late diagnosis’ is when talking about autism in children, and shares insights from his recent JCPP paper. This includes why some children get missed, the role of diagnostic overshadowing, and why girls were overrepresented in the late diagnosis group.
Austism and Eating Disorders
For this session of our informal journal club CAMHS around the Campfire we welcomed Dr. Francesca Solmi (pic), UCL, and Dr. Lisa Dinkler, Karolinska Institutet to discuss papers on Autism and Eating Disorders. ACAMH members can now receive a CPD certificate for watching this recorded lecture.
Autism Topic Guide
Our free evidence based Austim Topic Guide is ideal whether you are new to the Topic or want to find the latest research. For example did you know? 'Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often runs in families and there are strong genetic influences in the development of ASD. If a child has ASD, there is about a ten percent chance that another sibling will have it (Wood 2015).'
How to help schools
A really helpful session with Dr. Lucy Sanctuary, Speech & Language Therapist and Cognitive Behaviour Practitioner, Dr. Ann Ozsivadjian (pic), Independent Practitioner and Honorary Researcher at Kings College London, and Fiona Slomovic who supports parents and carers in ensuring that their child’s additional needs are met.

Booklists have been published in the Notifications. They are also to be found under the 3 lines on top left, go into School, then School Code & Policies where you will find them now at the top of the list there. The difference is that notifications move down over the next few weeks, whereas the School Info has it fixed on the top of the list for you.
If you don't look at them today and more notifications are posted during the summer, you will find it difficult to locate under Notifications. However, you will notice that there are 3 dots beside each book list giving you the option to email the one you want to yourself to make it easier to find, or allow it to be saved to your phone and work offline anytime, save it to your Google/OneDrive and file it under your own items and there are other options. These options also allow you to print them for your own ease.
Have a good summer all!
Booklists for 2022-2023-please note the correct elective has been added to the Geography 5th year list- apologies for any inconvenience.

School Transport - please look up yourself for further information, but most relevant info is here:
School Transport fee waived for the School Year 2022/23.
Request your tickets online before Friday 29 July 2022
With more than a week remaining before the deadline of 29 July, about 75% of expected tickets have been successfully requested on the Family Portal. While traffic on the website remains at unprecedented levels, the technology upgrades are improving the website performance and batches of tickets have started to be sent for printing.
For anyone wishing to confirm that their request was successfully submitted, they can check by logging in to their account. They will see the screen following which states “Your ticket request has been acknowledged.”
We’d like to remind everyone that:
People who had already made a payment or who had input their medical card details prior to the Government announcement on fees do not need to take any further action. For those who made payments a refund will be issued around the start of the school year
Everyone who had applied before 29 April 2022 – that is those applying for school transport for the first time, changing from primary to post-primary and those who may be changing school - and who had not submitted a payment or medical card number are required to complete the request ticket process, before the closing date of Friday 29 July
Those who had availed of school transport last year and in previous years and who would usually pay at this time of year are required to complete the ticket request process by Friday 29 July, as set out in the email sent directly to them
Any new applications being received now will be deemed late
All applications are being processed in line with normal eligibility criteria and as usual, registering for a ticket does not guarantee a place will be available
***
The Government has announced initiatives to assist families with children returning to school in September, including removing fees from school transport for the coming academic year.
The Department of Education announcement and answers to frequently asked questions can be found here.
The Family Portal had been closed to avoid further payments being made and to allow the reconfiguration of the system to facilitate this change. The Portal has reopened from Friday 15 July 2022 and you can request your school transport ticket here.
Full refunds will be made to people who have paid to date.
Applications for the school year 2022/23 must have been made by Friday 29 April 2022. All applications received after that date are deemed late, and may not be guaranteed a seat or a service.
Applications for pupils with special educational needs arising from a diagnosed disability should be made through The National Council for Special Education.
