Guest article: Why the Disability Expo is a must-attend show for occupational therapists
Jade Godier, Co-Director of Disability Expo, shares why occupational therapists should attend next month’s free event to discover new assistive technologies for clients, view adapted home demonstrations in a realistic environment, learn about lived disability issues through a series of engaging panels, and more.
Timed for the beginning of Disability Pride Month, Disability Expo will be Europe’s largest event solely focused on people with lived experience of disability.

Community Clinic
The Community Clinic offers delegates the chance to receive advice from health professionals and start or speed up the process of care services.
Mike Cowan-Jones, Event Ambassador, SEN Parent, OT, ARMS Rehab, said: “I truly believe in working in partnership who those have health, disability or neurodiversity conditions. Disability Expo is such a unique opportunity; it really is putting people who have the lived experience at the heart of the whole event. That is why Disability Expo is, to me, the go-to event of 2023.”
