Learning Disability Apps

Came across this American based site detailing a variety of apps for education, leisure and development. https://www.neurodevelop.com/Apps_for_Learning_Disabilities

Many of our members and beneficiaries have a Learning Disability. However, these apps can also prove beneficial for those with other neurological conditions such as ME where some experience cognitive blunting, processing information, fatigue, visual disturbances and poor memory.

Why Bullies “Need” Their Targets — Chateau Cherie

Being aware of the underlying pathology of bullies

Cherie White

It’s because bullies need scapegoats. The use of a scapegoat is nothing new. People have used them for many millennia! During the Medieval Period, scapegoats were often used by kings to make sure the monarch’s hands stayed clean- or at least looked clean. Back then, it was common practice to execute scapegoats for the wrongdoings […]

Creating a level playing for all – Digital Inclusion

Whether we like it or not technology is expanding into all areas of our social and economic daily lives. For many, this can be a struggle because systems are not accessible or are complete nonsense to those who recall days gone by when “chatting over the garden wall” was the mainstay of the local neighbourhood. Across the UK local digital support services reach out to those on the digital periphery in lots of ways and, critically, provide social support, in the traditional sense, to make sure people take ownership of their local projects. At Park View we constantly review how we extend our support and always look to improve based on your experience. But we still need to do much more!

Many Bullies Are Just Angry, Bitter People — Chateau Cherie

Further insights from Cherie on the make up of a bully.

CherieWhite

In many cases, I’ve found that bitterness is the main ingredient of bullying behavior. It is the reason why bullies desire to make someone else suffer. Because people mistreated them in the past, they want to see someone else get abused and will go out of their way to make that happen. Understand that it […]
