Ideas please!

Hi everyone,

I am after some activity suggestions.

I work with adults with a moderate Learning disability in hospitals.

I am looking at activities to do with a lady who likes doing house hold jobs such as making beds, washing up etc...

Am running out of activities to do ! Any thoughts or suggestions?

Hi harobe and welcome, you don't specify the type of hospital setting, is it a general hospital, psychiatric hosptal, rehabilitation unit etc. It will give us a better indication of the facilities available to you. Let us no and we can brainstorm some activities. Best wishes.

Hello harobe

Does this lady have an opportunity to do some cooking/baking? If this is an option United Response have a number of recipe videos aimed at people with a learning disability. Here is one, but there are many more:

youtube.com/watch?v=6zrq3rm...(Not working as expected?)

Is there a chance to go outside at all? It is probably the wrong end of the year but a bit of gardening might be good. Also, would she be interested in some shopping?

I am sure you have done plenty of cleaning (dusting, sweeping, vacuuming). What about watering plants, tidying up or replenishing loo roll?

Could this lady's enthusiasm be transferred to crafts? I know it is not quite the same but it is still very useful and creative.

all the best

Sarah
