  1. To be able to understand how to overcome information  symmetry between the  healthcare provider and the client to optimise postural management.

  2. To be able to understand how posture care management can be instituted without too much complexity, considering reliance on personnel. 

  3. To be able to understand fundamental notions or neo-liberalism in healthcare and to make wheelchair users more empowered.

  4. To be able to understand client autonomy is consequential but the care provider's paternalism is important to strike the balance to avoid possible complexity.

"Thank you very much, really brilliant to see such a unique and insightful presentation." (Physiotherapist)

I am an avid believer in technology, but I believe that it is necessary to be physically examined in the clinic to make accurate assessments where possible. My greatest strength is my ability to think about the practices by exposing non-disabled people to think laterally about their practices by exposing them to taboo topics and explicit biases. Additionally, captivated with the idea of revolutionising rehabilitation by learning from many nations and scenario-based learning to guarantee that [therapy] produces effects. I support rejecting and eradicating taboos surrounding topics like mental health and promoting increased awareness of ableist harassment and crimes against people with disabilities. I believe in the social model of disability because society needs to heighten levels of social integration so that individuals with a disability has exposure to equal opportunities, but I also concede that the social model has exceptions, understanding that medical practitioners are better equipped to state their opinions due to their knowledge and expertise. Consequently, it is about striking the balance between the social model and the functional limitation model.
