Missed the analysis of the home environment for #FallPrevention by an #OT / #OccupationalTherapist.
(These folk are in my experience top of the game for establishing an effective working relationship with their clients. Other health profession educators would do well to watch and learn and then introduce OT's methods into their trainings. Though some educators might need to see an osteopath/chiropractor/manipulating physiotherapist to get their nose reset after reading that.)

Note to all professionals....
Autistic self-identification/ self-'diagnosis'.....
**is valid**
Not everyone has access or resources to be formally assessed.
Not all those who want to formally assessed are safe to do so.
Not all professionals who do assess for autism, are fully aware, up-to-date with their knowledge on what autism IS and IS NOT.
Not all professionals practice in a neuro-affirmative way, thereby perpetuating the dangerous deficit-based language and attitudes around autism.
If someone thinks they are or might be Autistic, and comes to you for support around this.....
Please validate them, don't dismiss them and explore their reasons why.... Chances are they've done a lot of research into this, resonate strongly with what they've found....and so very likely to be Autistic.
We professionals can do so much to support self-identified Autistic people to just as we can with officially identified Autistic people.
