Writing up a home visit on an elderly man and wanted to give a MASSIVE shout out to all the #OccupationalTherapists After his stroke they have transformed his life, they got him to climb stairs, get in and out of the bath and got him cooking again Amazing and underrated @theRCOT
This year's #WorldDownSyndromeDay is a call to 'End The Stereotype' –@coordown's video perfectly sums it up.🩵 As OTs we support people to do the things they want and need to do, finding solutions and never assuming they can't. Warning: swearing
If we have positive assumptions about people with Down syndrome, we'll give them more opportunities. And maybe these positive assumptions will become reality. #AssumeThatICan #WDSD24 #WorldDownSyndromeDay #EndTheStereotypes
