Nazia Ahmad
Inpatient Therapy Lead
The Challenge
Mehmet had a young family. He was in a neurological rehabilitation ward and presented with ataxia in both upper limbs (among other impairments). He missed his children and wife immensely and they missed him a lot.
The Change
We set a goal around him being able to make his kids favourite breakfast as a surprise for his kids. He had identified (using the CMOP) that he really valued his role as a father & cooking for his kids was a really meaningful occupation for him.
The Impact
Following weeks of practice, when Mehmet's wife bought in their kids for a visit, their dad made them their favourite breakfast of toast with chocolate spread and chopped bananas. Words can't capture the impact on him, his family and his therapists.
