Annie in wonderland

So yes I do have a life outside of content creation and this is the quilt I have been working on its hand pieced, so hand sewen as well, Yes my hand aches at times but I would suggest anyone with a disability or cares for someone with a disability either formally or informally have a hobby to help with mental and physcal health and connection.  It doesn't have to be expensive by the way, I just thought you would like some photos.   

  Hey all so I live with two other housemates many people live in shared houses these days well into adulthood, but mine is what they call in Australia a Sil (supported independent living). The NDIS (national disability insurance scheme) fund it, and we have in the house beings called support workers that help us in what they call ADL (Activities of daily living) But watching and observing support staff, do there jobs one thing I see is major is not something you would expect but some staff in this area have great attention to detail, and just in general, to the point that I am moving a teddy bear by stealth and all but one member of staff have noticed, But I have let the housing manager know and they are going to do something brilliant they are going to use at about how attention to detail is so important in support.  But as my housemates have complex needs, they are responsible for dressing them and their level of hygiene. These are some outfit ideas, and I know that cho...

Support work is a complex dance of assistance, respect, and mutual understanding. However, within this intricate interplay, there lurks a troublesome specter: the "too posh to wash" attitude, which can manifest on both sides of the support equation. It's time to confront this issue head-on and pave the way for a more balanced and effective approach. Let's start with support workers. It's not uncommon for us to occasionally slip into the trap of feeling "too posh to wash." We may find ourselves hesitating at tasks we deem beneath us, forgetting that our primary role is to support, not to be served. But here's the wake-up call: if we're asking our clients to step up, we need to lead by example. Every task, no matter how mundane, contributes to the well-being of those we assist. However, if these tasks become overwhelming or too frequent, it might be time to consider alternative solutions, such as introducing a professional cleaning service into the...

 So this is going to be a very basic post and it’s one that I discovered needed doing as people are not understanding the NDIS and disability Jargon. I do admit it’s a lot to get used to and to be aware that you have to learn a new language essentially and if English isn’t your first language it gets even harder.  I have done a video on this that is embedded in the blog post but, ADLs are the foundations of life, they are Activities of Daily living, the really basic stuff, being able to move around without a mobility aid, being able to dress yourself, being able to eat, grooming and toileting and showering. There is a crossover between these and life skills and some could be considered both like hygiene in the home such as cleaning, changing bed sheets being able to vacuum or mop a floor, and cooking goes with being able to eat, but they are what make up the foundations of life and you can see how we say that it’s where you are first assessed on with applying for the ...
