Mobility who gave the students a 2-hour presentation where he introduced a
variety of assistive equipment. He mentioned that not only could the talking
photo album used for storing photos but can be used when following food
recipes and/or daily tasks that require sequencing. For example this assists
a client with short term memory loss who requires prompts, they can simply
push the button for the required step they are after and the ‘talking photo
album’ will give simple instructions for them to follow or give a prompt that the carer has already recorded for the clients use. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">The title for this movie based on occupation deprivation with the theme following ‘if you draw it for me, if you paint it for me, if you cut it for me, I learn nothing’. What this for tells is that when we are working with clients and we don’t allow them to learn on their own and rather show them how it’s done without actually letting them have a go at a task themselves they won’t will not learn anything from it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">How we went about creating this short film was firstly deciding what our theme for the film would be. We got the idea off a class member who had been on a particular placement that had this theme and we found it quite relevant to our chosen topic. Before shooting we draft a plan of how we would execute the theme and who would play each role along with the amount of time that would be spent on each scene. We followed the theme as our outline for the film as clearly shown. Hope you enjoy.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

communicating with friends and family around the world as it is important for
me to keep in contact with them. Emailing for receiving and sending messages
in relation to school and keeping in contact with friends. When using a cell
phone I feel very comfortable when using this as I use it for a variety of
reasons which include; messaging individuals, alarm clock and phone calls. Laptops
when using it for completing assignments, communicating through Skype.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
