For this weeks #OTalk we are discussing going on holiday. The first part of the chat will explore what going on holiday does for a persons well-being. The second part will explore if occupational therapists have a role to play in assisting people going on holiday.

Whilst researching this a little online I found information mainly from charities about how to go on holiday with varying disabilities,

I also found lots of companies offered accessible holidays, however differing ideas of what accessibility is. As occupational therapist is gong on holiday something we ever discuss with our service users?

Tune in on Tuesday 26^th April 8pm and join in.
