Kidz to Adultz Middle 2017 What’s the Connection between Donkey’s and the Kidz to Adultz Exhibitions? Throughout 2017, Disabled Living will be celebrating 120 years of providing services. Originally established in 1897 as the Band of Kindness, the founders aim was to encourage children to be kind to animals, in particular donkeys. The thinking was, if children were kind to animals they would be more considerate to their fellow citizens. This early work, proved to be very successful with the children turning their attention to help children who were ‘less well off’ than themselves. In the early 1900’s there was almost no support for ‘crippled children’, so the society’s focus expanded and a few years later the charity changed its name to the Crippled Children’s Help Society. Not very politically correct terminology today, hence the various name changes of the charity over the years. The charity was very forward thinking and provided a wide range of services, including establishing a County Nursing Home in Marple in 1904, which was later developed into The Children’s Orthopaedic Hospital. The work with children and young people continued by loaning equipment, providing craft and occupational classes for young disabled adults and providing respite facilities at a holiday home ‘White Heather’ in North Wales. Today, Disabled Living are still in contact with people in their 70’s, 80’s and 90’s who were patients in the Children’s Hospital or received help through other services. From the early years, the founders were well aware of the important role equipment could play in supporting people to be independent. From the equipment that was available years ago, to what we have now - there is no comparison. There continues to be the most amazing innovations in equipment design and Disabled Living promises you, we will further develop our Kidz to Adultz exhibitions and wider Disabled Living services to draw your attention to new equipment and services. As this year progresses, we will share more of our heritage with you through the exhibitions and other events. We might even ask you to be involved in some of our projects, so please read our monthly newsletters! Debra Evans, Chief Executive Disabled Living.

Seminar Room 1 - Jaguar Lounge Seminar Room 2 – Jaguar Suite THE MOVE PROGRAMME Six steps towards an increase in functional mobility. ASD and Sensory Processing Our unique theories and a practical approach. This is a programme to develop functional mobility skills using a top down model. It is a completely child centred programme focussing on what is important to the child and their family. This talk aims to give an overview of the programme including what it entails and its benefits. Matt Toms is a Move Programme Consultant. Matt has over 6 years experience of working in a special school using The Move Programme with pupils aged 2-19 years. Matt is now a Move Consultant working across Britain on behalf of The Move Programme. Our own unique theories on how people on the autistic spectrum process senses. We will also look at under-sensitivity which is a problem often overlooked, yet it can be very dangerous. We'll suggest strategies to help an individual recognise when they are over/under-sensitive to something and things they can do to manage their senses. Learning outcomes are: Recognising the differences between over and under-sensitivity and learning how to help someone who is over or under sensitive to become more independent. Matt Toms, Move Consultant, Enham Trust. Sam Ramsay, Manager, The Curly Hair Project Ltd. Engaging with Young People to Improve Health Outcomes: ‘Getting on’ with doctors, nurses and therapists. Poo Problems Young people with disabilities and additional needs will have more frequent visits to healthcare professionals. How can we ensure young people continue to engage with healthcare professionals and have positive experiences as they become more responsible for improving their health goals? This seminar will highlight the findings of a research study in which young people were interviewed to consider the factors that influenced positive and sometimes negative meetings with healthcare professionals. For young people with disabilities and additional needs it is important that both parents and professionals can support them to reach their health goals and have an improved quality of life. Dr Jay Vickers, University of Worcester. 12.30 Bowel problems are common in children, but those with additional needs, including developmental disabilities (e.g. autism) and learning difficulties are even more susceptible. It can be difficult to unpick the cause of the problems, to know how to address them, or to find help. Families and professionals may assume that the bowel problems are an inevitable part of the disability, or children may be delayed in toilet training because of them. This seminar will look at common bowel problems, including constipation, soiling, refusing to poo on the toilet and smearing and make suggestions for addressing them. Davina Richardson Children’s Continence Advisor Bladder and Bowel UK (formerly PromoCon) Disabled Living. Protecting the Family: A guide to Wills, Trusts and Power of Attorney. Finding the Missing Link in the Manual Handling Experience. The seminar will provide details of the various Estate Planning options open to you through Wills, Trusts and Powers of Attorney. Providing guidance on how you can implement these tools to protect your family, your assets, potential inheritance and ensure that your affairs are looked after should you lose your mental or physical capacity. The objectives of this seminar are to offer delegates the opportunity to explore the ways to improve the manual handling experience for the child or adult. Outcome: Delegates will be able to take tips on improving their handling technique. Delegates will be given the opportunity to review their manual handling practice in order to improve the experience for all. The session will use discussion, presentation and some simple practical to achieve the objective. James Beresford National Practice Group Leader Inheritance and Welfare. Slater and Gordon Lawyers. Carole Johnson Freelance Manual Handling Consultant. Seminar Room 1 - Jaguar Lounge Oral Placement Therapy - An innovative approach to the management of speech, eating, drinking and saliva. 2.00 We will explain the use of oral placement therapy in managing speech difficulties caused by diagnosis such as dyspraxia and dysarthria.

The session will give participants a basic knowledge about the suitable applications of oral placement therapy and how to find further information about this technique. Seminar Room 2 – Jaguar Suite Sleep issues and strategies to support. The objective of the seminar is to address sleep issues when a child has additional needs, why these may occur and what strategies can be helpful to improve sleep patterns. Participants attending will have an improved understanding of sleep patterns and why sleep issues may occur. They will also have an increased awareness of strategies to use to support a better night’s sleep. Helen Rutherford Sleep Practitioner The Children’s Sleep Charity. Helen Woodrow Service Director - Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist Eg (Training) Ltd. 3.00 Assisting families to fly - reducing the stress of air travel with disabled children and adults. Appealing the content of an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) Flying on commercial aircraft can be daunting for families with disabled children. Booking a flight, arriving at the airport, boarding and seating in the cabin pose real challenges to families. What makes this more stressful is the lack of information and opportunity to try and consider the equipment and environment ahead of a flight. Tryb4uFly aim is to support people in a very practical way so that they can book a flight knowing what to ask for, what can be expected from airports and airlines and decide for themselves how they will fly. In our experience, families are almost relieved to find the options available! Laxmi will set out parents’/young person’s right to appeal the content of the EHCP, how the process works and what parents can expect. The aim is to empower parents with sufficient knowledge to help them prepare for an appeal to the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal. Graham Race Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for Disabled People. • What can you appeal? • Setting out the law and explaining parents’ rights. • Explaining the appeal process including mediation and the ‘working document’. • How to lodge a strong appeal. • The Hearing - what to expect and how you can prepare.
