Many people live with hidden disabilities - conditions that aren’t immediately noticeable but can still impact daily life. These may include:

🔹 Chronic pain & fatigue
🔹 Neurological conditions (e.g., multiple sclerosis, epilepsy)
🔹 Sensory impairments (e.g., hearing or vision loss)
🔹 Mental health conditions (e.g., PTSD, anxiety, depression)
🔹 Autism, ADHD, learning disabilities

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower 🌻 is a simple yet powerful way for individuals to indicate that they may need extra time, support, or understanding in public spaces. By recognizing this symbol, we can foster a more inclusive and compassionate world.

💡 How can you help?
✔️ Be patient and kind.
✔️ Offer assistance when appropriate.
✔️ Educate yourself and others about hidden disabilities.

By raising awareness, we can break down barriers and create a community where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported. 💚

🚶‍♂️ Stay Safe with Your Wheeled Walker: The Importance of Using the Brakes! 🚶‍♀️

A wheeled walker is a fantastic tool for mobility, but using it safely is key! One of the most important safety steps?

Engaging the brakes!

🔒 Why Brakes Matter:
✅ Prevents Falls – A locked walker won’t roll away unexpectedly.
✅ Increases Stability – Ensures your walker stays still when sitting or standing.
✅ Provides Confidence – Feel secure when shifting your weight.
✅ Essential in Wet Areas – Bathrooms and kitchens can be slippery!

🛑 When to Use the Brakes:
✔️ Before sitting down – Lock brakes before lowering yourself onto a chair, toilet, or bed.
✔️ Before standing up – Engage brakes to keep your walker stable.
✔️ During transfers – Always ensure brakes are on when moving between seats.
✔️ On slopes or uneven surfaces – Keep control when stopping.

⚠️ Safety Tip: Check your brakes daily and have them serviced if they feel loose or weak!

💡 OT Recommended Tip: Always test your walker’s stability before putting full weight on it. A quick brake check can prevent accident.

📏 Measuring Up for a Bidet Prescription! 🚽✨

Which of my many measuring tapes will win today? When prescribing a bidet, precision is key—seat width, depth, and positioning all impact accessibility, comfort, and function. A well-fitted bidet can make a huge difference in independence, hygiene, and dignity for participants.

Because in OT, even the smallest measurements can have the biggest impact!

Who else has a ridiculous number of measuring tapes in their kit? Let me know below! 👇😂

As an Occupational Therapist, I encounter a wide range of challenges that people face daily—many of which aren’t immediately visible. This image is a powerful reminder that not all disabilities are visible. It’s crucial to recognize that someone's struggles may not be apparent, yet they are very real. Whether it’s chronic pain, mental health conditions, or other invisible disabilities, understanding and compassion are key. Let's strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels seen and supported.

Timely (no pun intended ☺️) piece of assistive technology arrived today in preparation for back to school and work routines.

This visual timer ⏱️ is to help with completion of daily tasks, especially getting reading for school, reading, homework and even leisure activities for Miss 7 year old. Use of a visual timer will help provide support with time blindness and visual and auditory cue to indicate task completion and success.
