Learning Disabilities OT

I am an Occupational Therapist working with people who have Learning Disabilities to enable them to engage in meaningful occupations & increase independence.

Great webinar from @AbilityNet - really great organisation and lots of useful information. The organisation is pan disability and will support anyone with additional needs.A quick look at the website shows a wealth of resources on all things tech related. Please share ❤️

Lots to think about in how we can apply the principles of #riskenablement and also the house of care approach in LD, how do we include people with LD and long term conditions in self management.

[Learning Disabilities OT @LD_Occ_Therapy]

Spending the morning learning about all things #riskenablement and thinking about how this can improve life for people with learning disabilities.

@BillWongOT Great idea, I did try to do something fancy with my MST background but it didn’t really work 🙁 I actually still have the RCOT #chooseOT #OTweek signature strip on my email, maybe I should take it off now...or maybe on Friday 🙂

[Learning Disabilities OT @LD_Occ_Therapy]

Happy #OTweek2020 - it’s a little different this year - sorry no pens, balloons and stickers to share 😔 but still 100% available to chat anyone who wants to #ChooseOT or just learn about what we do!

Really engaging and inspiring afternoon at the virtual launch event of #PeterandFriendsTalkAboutCovid . Also my first attempt at Twitter!

[Learning Disabilities OT @LD_Occ_Therapy]

Well done to Natalie and Hayley! I’m not keen on Zoom things either - much easier when you are just listening! Really interesting hearing your stories. Thank you so much #PeterandFriendsTalkAboutCovid #peterandfriends

[Learning Disabilities OT @LD_Occ_Therapy]

Great advice from Richard to switch off the news sometimes and to be mindful of other people, especially people with LD. Good luck to him getting back to speakers corner - very impressive chap. Will look out for his blog! #PeterandFriendsTalkAboutCovid @SteveHardyLDN

Working from home today and dog is snoring so loud I think I might need to use my headphones to keep listening to #peterandfriendstalkaboutcovid book launch event. Can’t wait to read the book when it’s available.

[Learning Disabilities OT @LD_Occ_Therapy]

Fantastic presentations, love the ‘hands, face, space AND mental health’. So very important to look after our mental health as well as physical 👏 #peterandfriends #peterandfriendstalkaboutcovid

[Learning Disabilities OT @LD_Occ_Therapy]

Great acting from @SteveHardyLDN and Elaine in their role play and lovely to see my old @OxleasNHS colleagues again!

[Learning Disabilities OT @LD_Occ_Therapy]

Off to a great start of #peterandfriends book launch. Well done to everyone involved in putting this together 👏
