Welcome back to MindJam JamCast. This week we're donning our dungarees, picking up our pitch forks and going on an adventure in Stardew Valley. We're also lucky to be joined by Jess Wilson, who is the Head of SEN Support for MindJam, as well as an amazing Mentor, and mother of two. As well as our usual adventures and calamities, we're chatting with Jess about how she got started with MindJam, her role as Head of SEN Support, and her experiences of homeschooling her two boys, and how that process gave her lived experience and insight that helps her in her work supporting and advising other parents.
