Is it time for a debate on how #disability equipment and adaptations look and makes people feel? Can we do better than what we have? I'm looking for participants to assist with Msc research to give their opinions. Message me for details: @ThefloatingOT #OccupationalTherapy

@FlynorseCeo @flynorse thanks for ruining our Xmas! What kind of corporate monsters are you that you wouldn’t let us add our 9 month old baby to our flight tomorrow after it has been booked. Mistakes happen. Where is your goodwill?

@DVSA_HelpMe Hi. Have been on hold for over 2 hours trying to find out why the website won't accept my theory test and license no for mod 1, the driving school as been unable to add me to this pre booked test?

Anyone know of any solutions/suggestions to help someone with upper limb involuntary movements to avoid scratching their face and eyes whilst in bed. #occupationaltherapy @rcot @DLFUK

@bronteot Hi Rachel. I'm sat in @theRCOT reading your PhD. Intrigued to know if the protocol you designed is being carried on in practice or further research?

@debbo_fisko @BarlugaGreySt @LochFyneUK Frustrating to yet again see accessibility defined only in terms of ramps and a couple of rails in a toilet.

[Emma Sheppard @ThefloatingOT]

@continuumtoon @realityvrhack That's brilliant, I was thinking about something similar

So excited to be working with @VRDI_UK and @continuumtoon today on virtual reality design. This is and will continue to be groundbreaking in terms of how design for #disability will change on the future. Watch this space!

[Emma Sheppard @ThefloatingOT]

@ClaireBellNYPOT Are you attending a course?

[Emma Sheppard @ThefloatingOT]

Studying at the #rcot today. Always enjoy working here, helpful library staff, free coffee and occasionally biscuits, and get to admire the wall of OT fame! #OccupationalTherapy

The money could pay for ... nearly 27,000 home adaptations, including new facilities for personal care, such as adapting a shower room if a patient has limited movement https://t.co/AsrZ9TjcU3

Screamed at and called a ‘disgrace’ by an abusive passerby this morning for using a #PinkCane apparently ‘#blind people shouldn’t care about colour’. We really do need to change perceptions of #blindness and lose the #WhiteCane stereotype #vi #sightloss

[Emma Sheppard @ThefloatingOT]

Relief. The biscuits are here
