Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is American legislation that guarantees certain rights to people with disabilities. It was one of the first U.S. federal civil rights laws offering protection for people with disabilities.
A federal lawsuit filed late last year by 17 states sought to have Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 declared unconstitutional. Thanks to extensive advocacy efforts by AOTA and state OT associations, Section 504 is officially safe! Learn more:

Great supporting evidence for the push towards home based intervention in Ireland . and the importance of home assessment, which unfortunately we don't have the resources (yet) to provide nationally at the NRH.
An interesting paper looking at a home-based occupational therapy led intervention for stroke survivors aged ≥50 discharged from inpatient rehab that showed decreased mortality and decreased NH admissions #occupationaltherapy @RCOT_NP .

The ageism of Irish services is something I've struggled with since being back - you are either on the right or wrong side of 65 rather than access based on need . .
Excited to have the 3rd publication from my.@hrbireland funded PhD: Experiences and preferences of PWS and CGs, around supports provided at the transition from hospital-to-home.@frances_horgan @phalger @SPHeREprogramme @RCSI_PopHealth @galvin_rose
