Question
So, I'm a 26 year old disabled parent who loves my children but now they are both at school and nursery I'm desperate to get into work. I have a
Lot of qualifications but nowhere will employ me because i can't walk independently, so would struggle to get to and from work and get from 'a' to 'b' in the workplace. Do any of you work and if so what do you do? I'd love an admin or reception position preferably in the field of health and social care because that's my area of qualification. Is there any way I could get practical support to get to and from work or help in the workplace? X
Question
Hi there, I have fibromyalgia and have recently gone into a flare up since a period of illness. I am looking for some equipment that would help me with looking after my daughter. As she gets bigger I am struggling to lift her and carry her. I use a power chair to get about and my daughter no longer wants to be in a sling. Any suggestions welcome x
Question
I take care of my grandson often and for long periods of time.
I am unable to get out and about with him, on my own. This is because securing the straps on his car seat is a real problem; due to my disability I can only use one hand.
Question
I've read about the best ways to deal with your child, which in my current case with a one year old, is to pick them up so to move them away from where they shouldn't be, which is most of the time at the moment.
What can/should I say or do to me avoid having to get up and physically move him?
