Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  We need to talk about hoarding and physical disabilities, chronic illness, and chronic pain. With the inimitable Dr. Jan Eppingstall, I look at the unique challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, chronic health conditions who hoard. From the impact of aging on hoarding tendencies to the struggles of navigating a hoarded space while managing chronic pain, we offer insights and practical strategies for those dealing with hoarding and physical limitations. Join us as we delve into the complexities of hoarding and its intersection with physical health challenges in a compassionate and informative discussion. The Impact of Disabilities on Hoarding Behaviours Complex relationship between hoarding and disabilities Chronic pain, mental health issues, and aging The prevalence and severity of hoarding in correlation with aging and physical limitations The challenges of categorising people and their impairments Gender Disparities and Disabilities in Hoarding research The association between physical disabilities, chronic illness, and chronic pain with hoarding, particularly among women The link between autoimmune diseases, common in women, and hoarding The impact of poverty on disabilities and hoarding Advocacy challenges for women with disabilities and hoarding behaviours The need for women to better acknowledge their achievements without feeling like boasting The significance of functional impairment in the discussion The importance of persistently seeking medical help despite the gender pain gap and lack of specificity in symptoms Strategies for individuals to lead a more independent and fulfilling life despite chronic issues The effects of giving up on seeking medical help on documenting conditions and receiving appropriate care Managing Hoarding and Disabilities Balancing function over appearance for hoarders with chronic health problems The individuals' strong attachment to certain aesthetics and struggles in decluttering due to sentimental attachment Practical ways to seek help and simplify tasks for people with hoarding tendencies, particularly for those living alone Strategies for managing household tasks despite limited mobility The importance of pacing oneself and not pushing beyond physical limits The impact of spending time outdoors on mental and physical health Challenges of Aging and Hoarding Accumulation of belongings over a lifetime, particularly among older generations Reluctance to part with items due to sentimental attachment and difficulty decluttering with physical limitations The isolation and loneliness experienced by older individuals in decluttering and organising tasks Addressing the challenges faced by hoarders with physical limitations, including lifting, fine motor skills, and brain fog The impact of limited energy and the need for careful prioritisation of tasks Living with Physical Health Problems in a Hoarded Environment The physical and emotional challenges of living with physical health problems Managing disabilities and planning, scheduling appointments, and attending to physical needs in a hoarded space The increased energy consumption living in a hoarded space Navigating chronic pain and strategies to manage dehoarding tasks even on bad pain days Differentiating between tasks that move the needle and those that simply paper over the cracks Hoarding research shows self-selection bias towards females. Hoarding increases with age, affecting functionality. Disability requires more planning and preparation. Living with physical limitations is never straightforward. Self-compassion improved my situation. Avoid pushing too hard, limit activities to 3 hours. Hoarding and function over appearance for health. Assessing and adjusting belongings to create harmony. Study on disability assessments, measuring functional impairment in 6 areas. Moving away from cause and effect to individual change and vulnerability. More planning for disability due to brain fog. People underestimate complexity of physical disabilities.

Today's important conversation centers around when homelessness and disabilities intersect. First, a disclaimer: homelessness is a complex issue. I've been reminded of that throughout each of the conversations we've had. This conversation is no different. We don't claim to explore every part of this intersection, but hope that each conversation brings new clarity to the reality as a whole. Please keep an open, curious mindset as you listen, and seek to learn, just as we are. The disability community is rapidly evolving to using identity-first language like disabled person, in place of person-first language like a person who has a disability. This is because it views disability as being a core component of identity, much like race and gender. Some members of the community, such as people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, prefer person-first language. In this episode, the terms may be used interchangeably.

There was silence in the delivery room when Jessica Cox was born—Jessica's parents and the doctors were stunned to see she was born without arms. As Jessica's father held her that morning, a stranger approached and said how special he and Jessica's mom must be to bless them with Jessica-- Jessica's parents not only remembered their faith that morning, but they shared it with Jessica.  Jessica, in turn, has been blessed with supernatural perseverance and determination in her lifetime. Be inspired in this Easter podcast as Jessica shares almost unimaginable achievements (like Guinness World Record: The Only Pilot to Fly With Their Feet), as well as the moment she gave Pope Benedict her Guinness medal.

Session 252 is the recording from the 2023 Verbal Behavior Conference Panel discussion. The participants were Troy Fry, Drs. Lina Slim, Sam Bergmann, Sarah Frampton, Einar Ingvarsson, Pat McGreevy, and Andresa de Sousa; and the voice at the beginning and end of the panel is Kelle Rich, who founded and currently leads these great conferences. In this Q and A segment, the panel addressed the following topics: Considerations moving from vocal-verbal speech to AAC. Focusing one's clinical resources given limited therapy times.  The high abandonment rate of AAC devices. The role of clinical judgement. Adapting clinical strategies to varying cultural contexts. The nuances associated with encouraging caregivers to adopt research-based treatments. The role of singing versus speaking... that was a fascinating part of the panel that comes towards the end. As you'll hear in this podcast, when you attend the Verbal Behavior Conference, you'll have numerous opportunities to ask the speakers questions. And not just in the panel itself. If you're there in person in Austin, Texas, you'll very likely have the opportunity to have direct interactions with the speakers between talks, while grabbing coffee, and so on.  What strikes me as unique about these events is that they are purposely small and intimate so that one can have these types of experiences.  What's in store for the 2024 VBC? First, the conference itself takes place on February 29th and March 1st, and it's preceded by a full day workshop from the incomparable Dr. Lina Slim on February 28th.  This year's conference speakers include Drs. Barbara Esch, Eb Blakely, Mirela Cengher, fan-favorite Patrick McGreevy, Alice Shillingsburg, and Hank Schlinger, whom we heard from a few episodes ago.  If you can't make it in person, don't worry. BehaviorLive has you covered. Nobody does virtual events like BehaviorLive, and they will broadcast the entire conference with best-in-class audio and video.  Papers, resources, etc...

Recently one of my Substack newsletter subscribers, a wheelchair user, asked if I'd do a podcast episode all about Italy accessibility information for wheelchair users and those with a mobility/physical disability. So here it is! This episode is a deep dive into wheelchair accessible hotels, tours, trips, guides, travel packages, mobility equipment, accessible bathrooms - everything you need to know if you're a wheelchair user traveling to Italy.

In this episode, Lisa and Annie discuss:The Disability Tax teens with physical disabilities and health conditions face as they begin their college journey. Differences in accommodations and support for your student college. How a college technically complying with federal law is different from being 100% accessible for all students and what your teen should consider. The adulting skills your student will need to learn regarding their health conditions.Key Takeaways: The ADA provides for reasonable accommodations. However, those can look different at different universities and colleges and even between programs at the same university or college. There is no perfect college for all students with similar disabilities. The right fit is the one the student chooses after having done the necessary research. Of the schools surveyed by United Spinal, only 16 colleges and universities were 100% physically accessible. Understanding the level of accessibility can be very important for your student and their needs. Manage your expectations - surprises will pop up in college. “The ADA, the Americans with Disabilities Act, also applies to the workplace. So when your student is seeking accommodations in college, that's a good training ground for thinking about what their needs might be later on once they graduate college and go into the workplace.” – Annie TulkinAbout Annie Tulkin: Annie Tulkin is the Founder and Director of Accessible College, as well as an educator, author and public speaker. She is an expert in the area of college preparation and transition for students with physical disabilities and health conditions. Annie was the Associate Director of the Academic Resource Center at Georgetown University for nearly 6 years. Annie has worked in the disability field for her entire professional career including positions as a Regional Disability Coordinator for Humanitas, Inc. working on the Job Corps disability support contract for The Department of Labor, and as a Project Specialist with the Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) where she worked with both the National Service Inclusion Project (NSIP) and University Centers of Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD) Technical Assistance projects. Episode References:Accessible College partnership with the Reeve Foundation Navigating the Transition to College with ParalysisUnited Spinal: Wheels on Campus-20 wheelchair-friendly campuses guidePerkins School for the Blind-College Readiness Resource CenterHow Can Students with Health Conditions Successfully Navigate the College Transition?Job Accommodation NetworkGet Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret). https://flourishcoachingco.com/videoConnect with Annie:Website: accessiblecollege.com/ Twitter: twitter.com/AcssCollege Facebook: facebook.com/accessiblecollege Instagram: instagram.com/accessiblecollege/ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/annietulkin-3b66b719/ Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

Today on the show, Steven sits down with Colin Hughes, a disability advocate with muscular dystrophy who struggles with movement and breathing. He shares his unique perspective on the accessibility features of Apple's latest announcements, particularly the Vision Pro and the improvements in dictation in iOS 17. Colin, who interacts with technology primarily through voice due to severe muscle weakness, highlights the potential of these advancements. Colin's transformative experience with the Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses underscores the potential of accessible technology like Vision Pro. He shares, "I could not take my own photos and videos that so many people take for granted every day until I put on the Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses and hey, presto, I could take my first ever photo, my first ever video." Despite his excitement about these advancements, Colin also raises concerns about the physical nature of the Vision Pro and the potential impact on the development of accessibility features in existing Apple products. He concludes, "I feel that in 10 years from now, Apple will have lightweight glasses. I think that is the end goal, and they will get there, but I think Meta might get there first." There's also more listener comments following the announcements this week from Apple and also a request from listener Anne-Marie to promote a Facebook group supporting Nicky Button, who is blind and walking from the Orkney Islands in Scotland to Worcestershire to raise awareness of blindness and educate people on the needs and aspirations of people who are blind.
