Welcome to the Gate Olympic Games 2024! 🏅
 
On Wednesday, the trainees pushed their limits and participated in a series of activities designed to test their speed, strength, accuracy and balance. It was a fantastic opportunity for them to challenge themselves, and a very fun day for all involved. Well done! 🥳🏋️⚽️

Of course we had to hop on this trend 😂 

From toy bags that rival a toy store to songs for every occasion, join Kirsten Lamb for a fun peek into the world of Speech & Language Therapy here at The Donaldson Trust! 😄🧸🌍

Recently we responded to the Scottish Government’s ‘Call for Evidence’ on Adult Disability Payment (ADP). 💬

While preparing this response, we engaged with neurodivergent adults who currently access Gate, our skills development, training, and wellbeing service, as well as colleagues involved in providing support.

There is much commonality in the experiences disabled people have when trying to apply and be assessed for all sorts of social security. Neurodivergence clashes with rigid eligibility criteria focused on physical difference over social factors. We also know neurodivergent people’s experiences are aggravated by the fact there is a lack of understanding of the impact of social-communicatory ‘barriers’ and other ‘hidden’ differences.

You can read more about our commitment to influencing change and empowering neurodivergent people in the full response. Go to the link in our bio and head to 'News & Views'. 🔗
