As a left handed D.T I am going to celebrate my uniqueness ( top 10%) and encourage some games for our clients the " left handed way"!! Balloon throwing and batting with the left hand only.
How about you you have an activity where the right hand is not used (or if you have a right handed person vice versa.) Not only would it highlight the left handed day it would also make people more aware of what it feels like for a person with a hemiplegia and the frustrations they go through especially if their dominant hand has been paralysed. Maybe something like a simple craft or even making a card - just a thought :) Sheila Douthwaite (Occupational therapist, Mbango Valley Association, South Africa)

Golden Carers is just wonderful. An amazing resource shared all over the world. I use Golden carers on a daily basis and added with Pinterest, it just makes my job that little bit easier on those days when inspiration doesn't come easy. I love that there is always something new every time I look.
