@RCOT_PLD what are LD OTs using as standardised functional assessments? We are looking for a replacement to AMPS in addition to #moho tools that supplement our assessment process. Any ideas would be very welcome! @swypftOT @swypft #learningdisabilities @allofusinmind

It's #LearningDisabilityWeek! 💜

We want people with a learning disability to be seen.

Voting is a right. 🗳️ But many feel excluded or encounter obstacles such as transportation issues, language barriers and the complexities of the voting process itself.

Here's some expert advice from our members: https://t.co/EoX0TqDvV1

The concept of age appropriateness can be used to reduce access for people with learning disabilities to activities they enjoy. Do you agree with that concept? Join the conversation, we would love to hear what you think!
