Is It Useful to Think About ‘Models’ When Accepting a Disability?
Although I’ve been disabled all my life, I’m still learning about disability every day and the older I get the more questions I have.

The aim of my blog is to capture both good experiences and bad experiences I have had and continue to have throughout my, life.

Reflecting on Past and Considering Future Placement Experiences as a Disabled Occupational Therapy Student
I explore practice placement extensively on my blogs, because planning a placement when you have a disability doesn’t happen overnight, and it is the area where I face the most challenges at university.

Maintaining My Physical Needs During Lockdown
Hello, it feels good to be back blogging- although I’m wary that I no longer have an editor i.e my educator to edit the blog, therefore I’m feeling a little nervous as we all know that my ataxic features (jerkiness as part of my CP) don’t shy away from making a typo or 2, that… Continue reading Maintaining My Physical Needs During Lockdown

I am an occupational therapy student, an ambassador for CP Teens UK, and Digital Production Director & Global Students ambassador for Occupational Therapist Without Borders. I am very determined to never let my disability get in the way of living my life my way. I face any challenges that life throws at me. I chose to train to be an occupational therapist, because when I was younger, my occupational therapists were phenomenal, they played a highly significant role in my life, and they inspired me to apply for this career. If I can make half the impact on an individual that they’ve made on me, and my family, then I know it is all worthwhile.
