 Therapy poem

I like going to the gym 
I enjoy going for a swim

Yoga keeps me flexible 
So I am able 

I go in my walker
I don't like to use a speech aid, I am a talker

I like to keep fit 
I renember when I learnt to sit

 At phyiso, I throw a ball 
I can crawl

  I use a wheelchair 
I don't like people who stare

 Independence is the key 
I love being me

Get Over Yourself... We're Only Disabled! Part 19

 Get Over Yourself ... We're Only Disabled! Hi my lovely readers, hope you are well. Chapter 19 Is it ok to drink  alcohol with a Disability? When I did research for this chapter, I typed in “Can a person with Down Syndrome drink alcohol?” .  The answer? “As long as they are the legal drinking age, yes they can!” This is a great quote to open this chapter as it gives us a fantastic insight into people’s attitudes about disabled people drinking alcohol.  Alcohol is something people get worried about when thinking about giving it to someone with a disability because they are concerned whether they can handle it or if they have the capacity to know how much they can have.  It’s about giving people a choice if they have capacity to make that choice and letting them decide on what they want to drink and how much.  I know sometimes people need to be told when they have had enough but they shouldn’t be banned from knowing what people their age are doing. ...

Get Over Yourself ...We're Only Disabled Part 5

  Get. Over Yourself ... We're Only Disabled Hey my lovely readers, hope you are well. Chapter 5 Ask Us How We Want Our Care  I like the title of this chapter a lot, as I feel that every individual that has a disability will have their own specific needs and their own way that they will need to be cared for.  We may have the same form/diagnosis of disability but not one of us will need the exact level of support as the next person will require and no one will have the same needs as another person.  So this is why it is very important that you find out what a person’s needs are before supporting them, regardless of whether they are verbal or non-verbal.  Talk it through with the person or use a technique that you both understand and work out a strategy that will work best for you and the individual.  You can try a lot of different strategies and work out which one is more effective to support both of you but always remember the strategy t...
