Reach For The Stars With Abbie

Hi guys  I’m going to base this blog on why I believe disabled people should be entitled to as much independence and opportunities as able bodied people. As a disabled person and a wheelchair user it frustrates me when people say to me something like why isn't someone doing this with you or where is your parents, er hello i’m 18 I know how to queue up and pay for something myself thanks. I know people are just trying to help but on the other hand I think it’s good to see someone with a disability trying themselves.

Some ideas that might help with anxiety; take breaks, figure new solutions out, change the way you think or feel and just stay calm. Have you ever felt oh  I wish I did that this way? or why did I act in that way? I have thought like that a millions of ti...

Hello, I'm writing this blog to help people with disabilities or parents with children with disabilities. These pieces of equipment have helped me through the years to try to support me and make mine and my parents lives easier. All of these pieces of equipment have helped me walk, transfer to one place to another and get to things safer, quicker and easier. Without things like the wheelchair, walker, stedy standing frame, parallel bars etc I wouldn't be as independent and will find everyday tasks harder. This is my David Hart walker. It focusses on training the brain how walking feels like as it's all about you and what you do in it. As you can see theres no handles or bars to lean on or rely on, you need good balance to walk in it and strength to move the walker. These come in all sizes and can be adjusted to suit the child or adult's size or ability as the company can add or take away straps as suits. It is really safe however should be only used on flat...
