Any OT’s who are currently ACP’s or in the process of becoming, who work in the clinical area of learning disabilities?
Looking to network to support with exploring the development of the role within our trust!

Congratulations to Becca in Services for People who have a Learning Disability for passing her Module 3 and becoming a qualified Sensory Integration Practitioner! 🧠👩🎓📚
The OTs in Services for people who have a Learning Disability spent their lunch break in the autumn sunshine swinging in a hammock utislising Shirley’s eco-sensory knowledge and skills… 🦥🌳🍁 @RCOT_PLD@theRCOT
Our life hack is… “Take some time out in nature by looking up, watching and listening to the trees, feeling connected and grounded with the Earth and your senses” 🌍☀️🍂 @RCOT_PLD@theRCOT@TeeRebecca
"Siblings fill in so many gaps for services – like outings, breaks, family occasions. But also the more subtle ones like vigilance, keeping an eye, safeguarding. When you can’t be there, what happens?" Says Sibs CEO Clare Kassa. Great article @Saba_Salman https://t.co/bjjkaeSdNY
Did you watch the #Panorama documentary on Wednesday? Yet again presenting a category of abhorrent treatment of vulnerable individuals who should be treated with dignity & respect. OTs can be key in preventing crisis, and enabling individuals to live a good life #NotOnMyWatch
Last night's Panorama detailed the rotten culture at Whorlton Hall & awful treatment of people with learning disabilities & autism. This week 3 separate reports show abuses such as segregation & use of force are endemic - & that unacceptable shorter life expectancy persists.
