Take a look at her blog and the youtube clip that jumps out to me is on tutorial one and is about a man learning to walk again using assistive therapy! Thanks Shilmoni :)

Another students blog of interest is Judith. Judith provides an interesting overview of her enjoyment of Scottish country dancing, a meaningful occupation for her! She also links to a number of OT blogs that I find interesting. Check her out at the address below.

In tutorial five I posted video links about Autism and the use of the Nintendo Wii. This is what I am intending on using for my assistive technology report. Below is a blog of a mother who has a son with Autism. She speaks openly about the use of Nintendo Wii and how this brings joy, and learning opportunities to her son. I found this very interesting and helpful as it confirms that what I was seeing on my fieldwork placement is also evident out in the wider community!

The autism Hub is a blog that provides both individuals experiences of having a loved one with autism and it provides scentific and up to date research on the effects of autism. This is a very interesting and help site providing many stories of individuals struggling on a daily basis.

This blog has been written by a mother of Four who is balancing the act of being a mother, with the day to day challenges of having a loved one with autism and all of lifes other challenges. This is a very touching and moving blog, that would support other mothers who may feel they are struggling with having a loved one with autism! I admire this mothers determination and active sharing of her families experiences.
