average age of death for #PMLD in #LeDeR report was 48 yrs I think, or was it 41 - frighteningly low and unacceptable even with health issues #pmldchat #welnds

Most certainly, support often requires specialist support but not always a nursing service - which is sometimes the case, resources poorly allocated for these people - no interest or understanding from commissioners #pmldchat #welnds x.com/WeLDnurses/status/1006…

Replying to @MichaelFullert3
should this be a specialist CLDN role? Like behavioural support? #weldns #pmldchat

That people with #pmld need to eb valued as individuals, and while health and posture needs are important, we need to understand the person - that takes time and proper rapport building and listening #PMLDchat #welnds x.com/PMLDlink/status/100662…

Yes, and often battle with medical professionals, who think the person cannot cope with further interventions - and give up, need good advocacy from people who know what potential the person has #PMLDchat #weldns x.com/jo3grace/status/100662…

#pmldchat #weldns people in medical settings often only meet people with PMLD when they are in a medical crisis. Do you get to see them when they are at their best?

A great segment @theJeremyVine. As a society we talk the talk of accessibility, inclusion and valuing ALL people. It's time to walk the walk. Businesses and government must put their money where their mouths are and provide accessible toilets. #LooAdvent x.com/SazBrisdion/status/946…

Feeling very emotional listening to the stories on @theJeremyVine show on @BBCRadio2 . May this be the final year where I am pleading for my son to be accepted in the world. All he needs is usable toilet facilities.
