Hi Sue, I'm an OT in Britain. I would agree with what has been said so far. With a view to particular avenues for help in the UK, I would suggest contacting Social Services in the area he lives to see if they have any 'Reablement' or 'Community Rehabilitation' schemes.
I have worked on one of these schemes in Staffordshire and the people on them are given intensive therapy at home, incorporating the things that Biraj was mentioning, to increase their independence. The idea is that they increase their confidence and abilities, whilst having therapeutic support. Individuals participating in the scheme DO need to be motivated to improve, but as you're saying he talks about when he's mobile again, this may not be a problem. The phone numbers for Social Services will be in the phone book for the area. Nessa *********��*********** Unsubscribe?
