The exciting news for England, who have an additional £86 million boost for the Disability Facilities Grant that fund adaptations, comes with the challenge of not enough OT workforce to assess and recommend adaptations

If you take functional seizures seriously and provide treatment then you can reduce emergency costs - probably by more money than you need to actually give the treatment. Thanks Laura Strom and Meagan Watson for telling me about your program in Colorado
