Today’s health care for people with learning disabilities and health problems.
Teaching programme
Paper Aeroplane. Instructions were easy to follow. For example someone like me with Dyspraxia may have problems with get the paper straight and equal.
This task is an example of teaching all kinds of things such as wiring plug, putting and light bulb, they may have followed your instructions correctly their hands like mine may not be strong enough for example to be able to connect the wires safe and secure into the plug.
A duvet on a bed cover might not be put into the condors tight enough.
A lot of equipment has changed compared to years ago, kettles now turn off on their own but they never used, it used to seem as if the kettle was never going to stop boiling. I was at least fourteen until I made my Mum a hot cup of coffee.
Microwaves are easier and safer than cookers for people like me to use but then food doesn't stay hot for long. Those who need a lot of support to cook fresh food can’t always get that support to do so. Now that a lot of care and support services need to be paid for not everyone has enough on their benefits to pay for it.
Clear pictures and easy words could be another easy way for a person to follow instructions to learn do things step by step but they may need support to do and complete the task. For other people they may need support to read the instructions but they may do and complete the task fine so therefore you won’t find everyone has the same strengths and weakness.

Dyslexia.
Most people can be gifted such as having talents such as people with Dyslexia. Some people may grip the pen too tightly, which may cause their handwriting to be untidy. Most people may avoid most tasks in fear of failing mainly they have had other people their live who haven’t had any faith in them. Most people may find it hard to achieve success on a time scale.
For some people the brain work too fast for their pen to write or the other way round for some where mistakes are not always notice but other times they get stuck what to write, which come into Dyslexia.
Visual problems could be things like Dyslexia, memory problems, seeing and writing things the wrong way round, misreading and misunderstanding information, missing words and information when writing. Most people may find it hard to take in information which is where easy read comes in. Visual impairment such as Dyslexia may affect a person’s memory, they may have spelling problems, they may miss words out in writing, they may misread for example they may not notice most mistakes they make in their work. Some people can talk too lond while they are saying and thinking out and what they are writing in order to remember what they need to put down which can be a form of Dyslexia. Work can be unfinished for most people if they have been rushed to do. Most people find it hard to be organized. Most people find it hard to think about things in order.
Some people have a short term memory span. Some people have poor listening skills. Some people find it hard to follow directions and instructions which can vary from person to person. (Accessible information) (Easy read.) Most people may find it hard to leave a space between words typing; writing and talking some people can vary. A lot of people find it easy to give up if they feel others don’t have any faith in them, others can misunderstand them as thick and lazy, they are not, they are just slow learners that’s all, they just need the right support. Some people may find it hard to put pen to paper. For example; some people may have a talent in some kind of sport. See the positive of the person as well as the negative.
Some people may find it hard to remember the days of the week, months of the year and etc. Some people may find it hard to remember times tables. Some people may have poor time keep or and some may have problems tell the time.
Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Dysgraphia.
Issues in emotional disturbance can be caused from different disabilities and linked on mental health problems such as Anxiety and Depression. ADHD for example is class as a mental health problems as well as a learning disability. ADHD can make the person easily upset, uptight, may be moody and emotional at anytime, anyplace or anywhere with or without a reason just like Anxiety and Depression.
In the sense of ADHD being a learning disability is that it can affect a person’s ability to learn for example; they very often have problems coping with too many things at once, which can be concentration as well as coordination, which other things could link in Dyspraxia, Dyslexia or and Dysgraphia. http://www.adhdawarenessmonth.org/
Poor motor skills, poor coronation, most people can be clumsy and immature movement. Some people may find it hard to tie their shoes or and they may put their shoes on the wrong feet. Some people may find it hard to do up zips or and buttons. Some people may find it hard to skip or and clap to rhythm. Some people may find it hard to throw or and catch a ball. Most people may find it hard to do things in a limit of time. There might be a limit of things most people can do.
Most people such as myself are better off learning on one to one to make sure things are done to time also to make sure task or job is completed but that’s not always possible due to funding as the case is these days.

Lack in development milestones leg; (motor language.) Some people make find it hard to understand prepositions words such as up, down, under, forward and backwards. Some people might find it hard to understand undermined hand preference. Some people may have poor handwriting possibly due to Dysgraphia.
Hyperactivity and impulsive is likely to come into ADHD. Concept of body image, General awkwardness, Poor visual motor skills, slow at complimenting work, Poor organizing skills that could cause by Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dysgraphia, ADHD or and even all. Some people do have poor short and long term memory. http://blog.scope.org.uk/2015/09/29/i-have-dyspraxia-but-rude-people-tell-me-im-drunk-endtheawkward/?utm_content=buffer37ae2&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer
Some people may have poor concentration due to such disabilities as Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dysgraphia, ADHD or and etc. Some people may find it hard to explain things like shape, size, colour or and etc. Some people may get mixed up with ps and qs bs and ds.
Some people may not be good at sport due to coronation, grip problem. Some people may be easily furstraighted possibly due to Anxiety or and possibly ADHD.
How much difference between Dyslexic and Dyspraxia?
How strange there’s not much difference between the sounds and the spellings of both words but the meanings may have less differences.
Before I compare the differences between Dyslexic and Dyspraxia, I need to do a study on Dyspraxia. In mean time may be you could be finding how much difference between Dyslexia and Dyspraxia if any.
Dyspraxia is not the easiest condition to have and it is not easy say and proves the condition, which makes it hard the person to be believed and understood. If you see someone walking unaided, it’s natural to think that person hasn’t got anything wrong with them. Anymore than that person finds it hard to prove themselves you have no prove to say what they are saying is true or not. Many years ago Health professions weren’t educated and trained to understand learning disabilities and health problems, it only been the last fifteen twenty year, a bit more or less than that research has improved. The problems is now after the improved on the research sadly the government are making cuts on the help and support so it seem as if we are slowly going back to the past. Yet we are expected to have an equal to others which we want but then with disabilities and health problems we need more support than what other people do.
A lot of people say Dyspraxia is a hidden handicap but the word handicap I personally sorry say I don’t like because people who do say that word don’t realize they making people learning disabilities and learning difficulties less equal to everyone else. Dyspraxia is a hidden learning difficulty but strangely most people can have learning disabilities linked on to learning difficulties plus health problems as well. It’s not everyone’s case.
Hidden physical learning difficulties like Dyspraxia are hard to prove because during adulthood, general society expects us to know to tie our shoe laces for example but not everyone can. Dyspraxia is most likely a hard condition to Diagnose I guess because it is a very condition to live with.
When comes down to those kind of skills it’s rather embarrassing to explain to others mainly when they can see that you don’t look disabled. It’s very embarrassing when people your own age can master certain skills better can.
It’s possible have had Dyslexia all my life, even at the age of nearly forty-six I still feel embarrassed ad ashamed for example ask someone even open a bottle or crisp packet but I will be honest to say some are easier than others to open. I found some difficulties I have overcome but not all. As strange as it sounds before and after I was born there wasn’t any education, understanding and etc about learning disabilities and health problems so you weren’t treated equal, you just got told you weren’t going get very far in life. As far as society was curtained if you weren’t coping like everyone else then tough it was like you the odd one out. Now thank goodness despite of the cutbacks in the UK, we know more than what we used to know but still have long way to go in fact learning never stops.
In the terms of balance, coordination and clumsiness is concerned children get misunderstood as naughty and adults get misunderstood as drunk yet it’s not a noticeable learning difficulty but then it is a very little is shown if any.

Possible cause of Dyspraxia.
Due to the time period I was born before and even after that like I said professions had very little educating and training as far as disabilities and health problems were concerned.
Therefore I will be honest to say its unknown what my disabilities and health problems, I guess for many others who were born in those time periods. Whatever I was born with I know it was caused by my Mother having been neglected at the birth due to a lack of oxygen. Whatever I have has been there all my life and it will be here for the rest my life but some things are still there others I over come which many I have done without realizing it.
I and my family think I have Dyspraxia having been born 40 odd yrs ago very little was known for me to be diagnosed at a very young age. In those days I was just classed a very clumsy child. There wasn't even any name to the condition back in those days. It's great to have children's services because hopefully they can get the support adults didn't really get as children but the funding seems to be a huge certain. It's very hard to say with Dyspraxia in the terms of adult services because most support it may be best to get in childhood but others it may not be ever too late for.
Over the years my family have had rough ideas but not completely sure. To how far things have gone the harder it is to get diagnosed so I would advice today’s parents to try and get their children diagnosed as young as possible. If people get diagnosed as younger as possible it’s possible they may be able to get the right support to a point as the years go on there could do a lot of things for their selves sooner people from say my generation did. Now the funding seems to be the problem these days whereas years ago there was very little education and training in the professions.
What I have alwayed faced is that I lack in physical strength mostly on the left hand side of my body because the left hand side of the brain was mildly damaged from birth, therefore I could have done with physic as a very young child but that didn’t happen in the 1970s and 1980s. It’s too easy to guess by the difficulties I have faced that I could have Dyspraxia I will never know for sure without a diagnose plus there doesn’t seem to be a lot adult services for these disabilities and health problems mainly the cuts are going now in Britain.
For example anything too heavy I likely to drop and I don’t very strong grip in my hands. Mind I have notice these days some things are easier to grip than others. Whatever this is its limited my life as far learning school, accessing employment, not being able to drive, not being able to have children, household tasks, I wouldn’t be able to do manual work or other kind of physical work, which therefore makes exercise swimming is the only sport I can really cope with. Things like netball in school I was never very good at noticing when the ball was coming my way plus throwing and catching the way quite a task for me.
Language barrier.
A learning disability can affect the way the person understands information.
People with disabilities and health problems don’t like words like handicap, retardation and Chronic medical.
Handout 6 -7 Impulsive behavior.
Emotion is a way a person feels towards life. In the case of people with disabilities and health problems it’s been hard enough as it is the fact we have had to face having disabilities and health problems without society treating us as if we are to blame for the way we are.
As it is with Mental Health problems such as Anxiety and Depression people have a hard job believing the positive in their live as it is. Many of us are slow learners but we get there slowly. People have mental Health problems such as Anxiety and Depression can cause people to be emotional and sensitive to life.
Some people may suffer from behavior problems such as Anxiety, ADHD many get up tight easily over certain situations.
People with most forms of Autism can be unaware of the feelings of others. Some people with some forms of Autism may find it hard to accept change.
More about learning disability.
Hearing impairment for example; deafness Sign language is a good form of communication for you to learn. If they suffer from deafness they may talk too loud unaware others can hear them. Deafwebsites.com
Some people have a lack of social skills finding it hard to make friendships, relationships and get along with people, which make them very lonely people. A lack of communication and understanding can lose people a lot of friendships, which they can't help because some disabilities and health problems can cause them to communicate in a different way that most people don't understand. They may even say something that the person has the right to be defended but totally unaware how they have made themselves come across, if anything it may be have not turned out the way the person planned it to be or and they may have said the opposite to what they planned to. For some people, I can be the same for what's in head to say doesn't always come of my month correctly.
People with speech problems can find it hard to get along with people too because a lot of people understandably can't understand what the person is saying but it's not their fault either. It's down to the other person understand that the person as a speech problem, which is wrong of person is talking to them when they can hear them. Many people misunderstand them for being drunk even. Making take the mickey of the way it sounds when people have got speech problems even people like myself who have the odd st udder problem.
Speech or language impairment.
Some people may have slow speech development. Most people may find it hard to understand they are saying, therefore a lot of people may lose patience’s with them by cutting then off the phone or even telling to go wherever they are talking to them. There are very few people who may understand all or even some of what they say meaning those who may well have the patience’s to listen to them. The person may not be able to get a word in edgewise because they person rightly wants to make sure they have their say because there have been others who haven’t had the patience’s to listen to them.
People with speech problems very often find it easier to communicate by internet, emails and text, the only disadvantage. When something is important sometimes it takes longer for people to reply mainly with email but then it's understood that people can't be in their offices 24.7.
Study case 1. Speech awareness.
Some children with dyspraxia may take longer to talk than other children. Their early speech may be very hard to understand, this is because they have certain movement difficulties in the month, throat and tongue. The condition is called Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia, which should be treated by Speech and Language therapists.
The core problems these children have coordinate difficulties. This may affect the hands, legs and body where Physical theory is needed to strengthen the muscles.
Roughly between 2004 and 2010 there has been 5-8 percent of school population with speech and language difficulties, therefore they have Development Verbal Dyspraxia. There was also other child with other forms of Dyspraxia, which mostly face coordination difficulties.
Many children can only make a small range of sounds; they may have problems pronouncing consonants and vowels. For example they may be able to say cat but not caterpillar. These children do need speech therapy. A speech problem in people with Dyspraxia is different to other speech problems possibly linked to other disabilities and health problems. It can take a lot of time and effect for them to improve their speech, many could find it hard work but they never give up. Very often those who find it hard to learn tend to be more keen workers than most of those who find it easy to learn and quickly. Even most parents find it hard to understand what their children are trying to say.
1. Study references such as online or even books about Development Verbal Dyspraxia.
2. Study forms of communication for people with Development Verbal Dyspraxia.
3. Find out what form of easy read information is easy read for people with Dyspraxia including Development Verbal Dyspraxia.
4. Find out what kind of support all forms of Dyspraxia needs.
1. Research some knowledge on the history of learning disabilities and health problems email me on sarajgorman@gmail.com to tell what you have learned.
2. How can we improve the past to make a better future?
3. Find things out about the benefit system and how people who have reasons to be on it take the stick of those who don’t need to be on it but are because they don’t want to work.
4. Most disabled want to work, learn about employment for disabled people and the support that is and isn’t out, including rules, laws, health, safety, discrimination act and etc.
5. What jobs can people with Dyspraxia and other disabilities and problems can and can’t manage with and without support.
Study case 2 what is a learning disability and a learning difficultly?
People should be aware now for at least the past 15 to 20 years or slightly more of disabilities and health problems. They should except anything from us because we didn’t become the way is on purpose. We should the same rights and responsibilities as other people. We don’t except to get away with what others can’t because we have disabilities and health problems all the same the fact that have disabilities and health problems should be taken into account.
Therefore society should accept us to be slower than other people, which is what a learning disability and learning difficulty is. We shouldn’t be treated and punished as if we have chosen to be the way we are on purpose just to give society hard work. It feels as if others think we enjoy being we are so we can be treat difficult to others, which we don’t. I know that this shouldn’t be judged either when there are plenty out there with nothing wrong with them pretending that they are. This is what people who really do have disabilities and health problems get the punishment and stress for, which the benefit system is a fine example of that.
Study case 3. My case.
People with disabilities and health problems face bullying mostly because others don’t always understand in the way we do. Strangely I only went to one main stream school all the others were special schools yet I faced bullying in all my schools. Very often not that I was perfect myself because nobody is but when it comes to learning it’s as if many children tend to complete with each other. Either one person has a lot of difficulty learning or someone else tends to know too much as far as a bully is concerned, which can be where bullying can set in because that person is strangely jealous of his or her victim one way or the other.
Over the years so much has changed in the sense of punishment for example I remember getting the ruler over my hands in front of the children because I got my times tables wrong therefore when it came to break time that encouraged me to face because having been a slow learner. Now the kids are punishing the teacher and even many teachers have lost their lives through children. Therefore there never seems to be a balance as far as learning right from wrong is concerned.
I was never good at any sport other than swimming and maths was very weak and still is.
I was classed as thick, stupid and lazy as far as the children were concerned back then but little they know I have caught up through adult life.
1 There many famous and talented people with disabilities and health problems that didn’t do well in school days but caught up in adult life maybe you can research and email me what you find out.

These days guys there's plenty of reference such as the internet as well as books from the University library, here are some useful tips and what to research for your assignment.
1. What are disabilities, health problems and long term conditions?
2. What type of disabilities, health problems and long term conditions are there?
3. Communication
4. Accessible information
1.Assessments find out what kind of assessments to people with disabilities and health with disabilities and health problems have to go through all their live on all topics.
2.Most people may be sent to the wrong places after their assessments think about how you can see that the person is sent to the right places after you assessed them?
3. Most people have been sent to the wrong places because they have been given the wrong diagnosed or they haven't been diagnosed at all, how can you give the right diagnose?
What benefit are there? Your research
1. DLA changing to PIP.
2. What rate of benefit is the person on? For eg; high rate, middle rate or low.
3. The amount of income the person will get will depend on the rate and even level of disability and health problems they have got.
4. It may even depend on the amount of care and support the person needs, although a lot of people due to cuts don't get as much or no care at all compared to what they used to.
5. Independence such as getting around.
6. What kind of care and support? For eg; personal care. Support with house work, cooking and shopping.

Your patient's health is your main concern to you mainly they have disabilities and health problems. The huge concern has been people with disabilities and health problems having their benefits cut and even stopped. If your patient has their benefits cut or stopped, it can have a huge affect to your patient's health why is that? Please find out on my 2015 post of this website sararevealed.blogspot.com/ there's a lot of information you need to learn and be aware of.
Just to also remind you that this month will be Mental Health month so I will be raising a lot of awareness on my website and Facebook groups, which you are more than welcome to join if your on Facebook. I will advice you not to go on Facebook if you are student in college or university during class hours.

Read more information in the Disability Rights Handbook when it is updated in April or look online. Some the 2015 - 2016 information may still apply at the moment.
Just to let you know every April there is an update of the Disability Rights Handbook, which is update information on benefits, you may not need in your career but always useful to know just in case. This information is really for families, carers and advisers including disabled people themselves but not everyone has those people in their lives.

What we have we done what do we need to?
Due to half term I guess you won’t be studying a lot at the moment but not to worry, you don’t have to and no rush and it's half term. I wouldn't except you to study all the time but when you do, I have written down in the teaching programme what is a head us next so if you do have chance please prepare yourself, if not not to worry to we can all help each other as a group when the time comes. I understand you could be on placement as well. I am just letting know about the sessions we and have done and the sessions I plain to come. I will put this report in an email to Lynne which she should get after half term, I guess soon as she’s aware of it she will make you aware too.
Like I said I know you guys are Student Learning Disability nurses but the idea of you learning these topics, is the awareness of how everyday issues can have affect on the health of people with disabilities and health problems.
As for the that report about the Jobcentre and that, there's no stress, pres sager or time limit when you study it. It's just some update information of what people with disabilities and health problems are facing with benefits, support and employment theses days. I can't promise but maybe a session could be planned where we could do some work on that a piece of work. Ever so often we will do a bit of revision on each topic.

Session 1 I introduced myself and a short bit of information of what I will be teaching, which was. What are learning disabilities and health problems? What kind of disabilities and health problems are there? Communication and Accessible information.
Second session. We did your first module was on the 23rd September 2015. You introduced yourselves to me, Lynne, each other and we introduced ourselves . I spoke to you about PCP Person Centered planning how that works, the balance between support and independence. You told me different forms of communication, which I listed down on the board. I can’t say when but I hope to do a session where we go through what disabilities and health problems there are and how different people communicate with these disabilities and health problems. Very well done for what you have all done so far.
3rd session. was the Benefit cuts 21st October 2015, just a little bit of reference advice. I can understand this reference could be very hard to get hold of but if you can get hold of it, there’s a lot of useful information, I don't except to look at it all the time but a bit of a time and learn as much as what you can before it goes out of date if you do get access to it. It’s the Disability Rights Handbook, I never thought about it until my sister bought me a copy for my birthday. I can understand as far as buying is concerned it may be too pricey and the same to download it as well. You may be able to get a copy from the library, which may better because it’s only dated from the April 2015 to April 2016. It’s according whether or not the libraries have a copy. You may able to ask even if the University library if there's a copy there. I don’t want to keep on teaching the benefit cuts every session I do at the University but I may be able to ask Lynne if I could photocopy a page ever so often before the book goes out of date then we can do a bit of work on it or get a copy each for you. WWW.disabilityrightsuk.org
Well done for all of who took part in the Benefit’s cut session, everyone did very well indeed thank you.
Session 4 is to come. Different types of disabilities and health problems.
· What are learning disabilities and health problems?
· What kind of disabilities and health problems are there?
· How do disabilities and health problems start?
· What can cause disabilities and health problems?
· WWW.mencap.org.uk for learning disabilities.
· Tap your search engine in Mind, Rethink or and Healthy Mind for health problems.
- forgot to add to the first and second session is to find out how much difference there is if any between learning disabilities and learning difficulties.
- If there's time in the next session we may do some work on PCP Person Centered Planning if not we can plan it for another session.
Session 5. (Accessible information easy read.)
More sessions are to be planned from there. I will also ask Lynne to forward this report in an email to Steven and Mick to share with the 3rd year and for Lynne to share it with the 2nd year too.
