Today @lizzierbarlow and @oteleanor started a piece of joint work to support a client to develop joystick skills. Our goal is that she will be able independently drive a wheelchair. We devised an activity programme which will be challenging but fun for carers to support daily.

Has anyone got any recommendations for apps to use to support TBI clients with pacing ? Needs to be simple to use and support recording activity and reflections. #OT #pacing #TBI

@RachW_OT @thenec Thanks Rachel lovely to see you too 😊

[Eleanor Hales @oteleanor]

My day at the OT show didn’t quite go to plan yesterday when I was unfortunately taken ill. I want to say a massive thank you to the staff at Hall 9 of the @thenec. Especially the first aider Pauline who was outstanding. Everyone’s care and compassion was incredible. Thank you 💚

So proud of my son for doing this project to support a little boy with special needs. ❤️

This week Charlie aged 10 has been narrating the Polar Express book. To enable one of our younger clients to read using eye gaze technology. Working with Lizzie our AAC specialist to put it all together. A very special piece of work 💚 Eleanor (OT and Charlie’s proud mum !)

@RachaelD_OT Not heard of this routinely. In my community work had a couple of emergency GP referrals post discharge. After my 3 children not one person asked how I would manage at home. Despite being really poorly with one. There must be so many mothers who go home and struggle needlessly ☹️

@diocswellnott It’s a shame that these same people did not show the same compassion to a victim of sexual abuse within your diocese. Treating her appallingly and silencing her with an all male investigation team. @churchofengland https://t.co/wm4LO0r8d3

When you get a message from support team. Telling you a client has had a bath for the first time in 10 years !! After lots of planning, assessment and time, it’s gone really well 😊Thanks to the amazing Avero hi-lo bath and bath support from @AstorBannerman @TheTeamSTS💚🛁

@JManning_OT Congratulations Janine 🥂🎉

This week I have had lots of client MDT review meetings. It amazing to see how clients are progressing and setting new more challenging goals. The bravery and dedication of clients to smash their rehab is truly humbling. The sky really is the limit ! Eleanor (OT)
