OT specialist in inclusive and accessible housing - research interest : impact of visual stimuli and aesthetic preference on lived experience in dementia

[marney walker @marneywalker]

Hurrah - I am published at last :) Exploring how design can support the expression of personal aesthetic preferences in dementia https://t.co/rYjMGsszxw

@SteveGFord Maybe consider how people maintain quality of life and agency in their own homes?

I now strongly do believe some thing within
humanness. Within in the mind.
can snap and become unrepairable

Which is why some people with dementia just stop speaking. Due to the anxiety and depression of uncertainty caused my disempowerment and social work unaccountability

Please repost. I was misdiagnosed and it took 4 years to get my diagnosis of Lewy Body dementia. It’s so important to get a correct diagnosis

An essential point for me was this. I had to purse the joy in me in order to stay, functioning.
And I learned through pear support,
We all have something to contribute, we can still be
creative, we can continue to be engaged
When embracing the things which make us smile.

This sentence is obscene. Why are we punishing the people trying to prevent disaster while allowing the oil company giants causing it to reap super profits?

Still absolutely hate that our professional body is invisible in London. Such a massive mistake

[Dr Rachel Russell @bronteot]

At @FoundationsHIA , my colleague @MarkPearce1969 is developing a tool to collect solutions for behaviours of concern. Your input would be appreciated and for any UK-based OTs, this would make a great CPD activity for your HCPC portfolio https://t.co/GOOBs7ujHY

This #DementiaAwarenessWeek our theme is 'Your voice, your choice, your future". Every person with dementia is different, & so good care will look different for them. People need the power to make choices on what matters to them - now & in the future 👉 https://t.co/7pAW63zfZh

Remember you can catch
Arts for dementia and friends at the Afro and beauty show this year.

Why not drop by our stand and take away some knowledge.

@dementiacentre @StirUni @SeatingMatters Suggest review literature on design related to neurodiversity and autism on seating as significant overlaps

@OtherPaulSmith The minister was misinformed

[James Rupert Fletcher @JamesRuFletcher]

This⬇️claim is a lie or bananas
Since 80s, AD orgs have benefitted from rising dementia fear
Their "awareness raising" efforts have corresponded with dementia becoming the public's 2nd most feared condition (the leading fear among older people)
That's THE charity business model
