A disabled YouTuber who's making a series

about finally getting my first powered mobility aid.

by clicking the card above or going to the link

In short, I've recently come to the conclusion

that a powered mobility aid would be a good idea for me.

I have these like weak, wobbly feet and hands

and I love going to new places but I find it really hard

when I can't actually move around very easily.

I look lovely standing up, I mean see my Instagram.

I just can't do it for very long and I can't get very far.

Pun now intended, wobbling between a mobility scooter

I want something that I can use easily inside my house

but I also want something I can use in pavements,

Don't tell me unicorns can't live inside a house,

they're unicorns, they can grow and shrink at will.

As a lot viewers noticed and mentioned in the comments,

with the help of an occupational therapist.

Occupational therapy being the use of assessment

and intervention to develop, recover, or maintain activities

considered meaningful to those with bodies

that are a little different to the default.

I have quite complex needs and an ongoing health condition

that is doing its own thing most of the time.

I know I talked about this in my last video

and I will also put that in the card above

and thank you so much for the amazing comments,

but I've been having a bit of a difficult time

accessing things like occupational therapy or physiotherapy

because you have to go through your doctor

and I was told in the past that those services

in terms of the like day-to-day living things I need

by renting one of each for a week, then that makes sense.

by how medicalized the first power chair I rented was

because apparently my medical drama isn't going anywhere

and it even overrides my incredibly stingy side

They're aware they have a captured market.

Well oh well, it really did turn out rainbows in the end

and you'll just have to keep watching to find out.

without the help of an occupational therapist

I didn't want you to miss out on the important info

Jo Southall is an OT who through an online business

offers a range of services and is an expert

in order to get some professional answers for us all.

So I had absolutely no idea that it was possible

to talk to an occupational therapist over a video call.

you could even privately see an occupational therapist.

- So probably the reason why you weren't aware

I think there's one in America and one in South Africa.

Some of us will offer things like this if you request it

but it's not standard service to offer yet.

I spend quite a lot of time at conferences

trying to convince people to do things this way

because it's better, as far as I'm concerned.

I think a large part of my struggle to receive help
