I’ve discussed my relationship with Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) in various posts over the years but as it is Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month, I thought why not give you an update. As yet again my relationship with AAC has changed since I entered the working world! I’ve gone on about my relationship with AAC… Continue reading My Post-Graduation Communication Challenges
The fear and anxiety of advocating for my reasonable adjustments is a blog that I’ve been wanting to write for quite some time and is linked to my OTalk on disclosure back in 2020.

Yes, you did read the title correctly after debating on whether I would blog about this I decided to take the plunge.

The post-grad accessible job hunt… well, where do I blogging… Continue reading The Post-Grad Accessible Job Hunt

Challenge 4!!! Can't believe we're at the final challenge already!!! I decided to set myself this challenge, this is because cooking is a life skill, therefore, I thought it would be useful to know what I can and can't do within the kitchen to adapt for the future. Whilst cooking I did think of ways… Continue reading Cooking Dinner!
So here we go we're at challenge 3 already! Which yet again challenged my fine motor skills.

Whenever my family play darts I normally have a few shots and… Continue reading Attempting to Play Darts
Welcome back to challenge number 2 for Cerebral Palsy awareness month and as you can tell this was cutting the grass.
