🧑‍🦽 Women in science who shaped modern disability care 🧑‍🦽‍➡️

🥼 The International Day of Women and Girls in Science was on the 11th of February. This is the perfect opportunity to honour the women whose research has helped guide the way we understand and support people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD).

🫴 Here at In Caring Hands (ICH), we provide care for young people with PMLD, and we’d like to spotlight three remarkable women whose scientific work has helped to shape how we care for people with the condition.

👩‍🔬 Baroness Hilary Cass OBE

A British paediatrician and neurodisability specialist whose research has advanced the understanding of autistic spectrum disorders, cognitive impairment linked to epilepsy, visual loss, and the care of children with multiple disabilities. Her leadership has shaped national policy and improved pathways for children with complex needs. https://www.rcpch.ac.uk/about-us/our-team/hilary-cass-baroness-cass

👩‍🔬 Dr. Elisabeth Fernell

A leading researcher in neurodevelopmental disorders whose work has improved the understanding of intellectual disabilities and informed better assessment and support strategies worldwide. https://www.gu.se/en/gnc/elisabeth-fernell

👩‍🔬 Dr. Janice Brunstrom‑Hernandez

A paediatric neurologist whose pioneering work in cerebral palsy and complex neurological disabilities helped shape modern approaches to personalised, dignity‑centred care. https://www.1cpplace.com/dr-janice-e-brunstromhernandez-md.php

Their contributions are a reminder that science and care are deeply connected, but there is still much to do.

😶 Communication matters: PMLD - Time to Talk Day 😶

🗣️ The 6th of February is Time to Talk Day and at In Caring Hands, where we care for young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD), this day has a special kind of significance.

👍 Time to Talk Day is about mental health, something that is of key importance to both our service users and their carers. Someone with PMLD often doesn’t communicate using words or language, instead they may use gestures, noises or facial expressions. This can cause frustrations and be difficult for carers to interpret.

🤗 This is why Time to Talk Day, helps us to recognise the qualities it takes to navigate the often complex needs of those we care for. Attention to detail, empathy, a desire to help and understand are paramount. It isn’t always easy, but it is very worthwhile.

🥰 Our carers offer more than practical support; they bring reassurance, connection, and more than just day to day care for our service users and help for their families.

🥐 National Croissant Day: A sensory treat to share 🥐

🤗 National Croissant Day is being celebrated on the 30th of January this year. It might seem light‑hearted, but for the young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) we care for at In Caring Hands (ICH), this day offers a wonderful opportunity for sensory exploration.

😋 The warm smell of fresh pastry, the soft flaky texture, the gentle sound of a croissant breaking — these small sensory moments can promote curiosity, engagement, and bring feelings of joy.

🥰 Here at ICH in Wells, Somerset, we use everyday experiences like this to support communication, comfort, and emotional wellbeing. Sometimes the simplest of activities can create the richest of connections.

🔗 If you’re a dedicated carer with a heart full of compassion, you’re based in the UK and are looking to make a real difference to the lives of the people you care for, then we’d love hear from you: https://in-caring-hands.co.uk

🦆 Big Garden Birdwatch the perfect sensory opportunity 🦆

🫴 At In Caring Hands (ICH) here in Wells, Somerset, we use nature‑based activities to support the well-being, communication, and emotional regulation of the young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) that we care for.

☝️ The RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch runs from the 26th to the 28th of January this year, and it’s the perfect opportunity to slow down, look up, and enjoy the simple joys of nature. For young people with PMLD, sensory experiences like birdsong, movement, colour, and fresh air can be deeply calming and enriching.

🐦 This week, we'll be including fun activities in our schedule such as birdwatching through the window or venturing outside on brighter days to listen to bird song, putting out food on the bird table, or exploring other textures and sounds we discover outdoors.

🔗 If you’re a compassionate, dedicated, motivated, thoughtful, UK‑based carer and you’re looking to make a real difference to the lives of those you care for, we’d love to hear from you. Find out more about us and our open vacancies here: https://in-caring-hands.co.uk
