MikeWith all the talk about social care in <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/ukpolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ukpolitics</a> at the moment there's an assumption that it only affects the elderly.There's a huge number of people in social care who are not elderly and I seriously hope they are being considered by the government and it's review.This includes people with severe and profound learning disabilities, as well as people with severe mental health issues needing care.Our family experiences of moving from hospital care to care in the case of mental illness has been extremely mixed.The common factor in all of this seems to be that Social Care is seen as a profit centre by a huge number of businesses - and I'm unconvinced that many of them have the interests of the clients at heart.<a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/SocialCare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialCare</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/mentalhealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mentalhealth</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/learningDisabilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#learningDisabilities</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/socialCareReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#socialCareReview</a>

Serge from BabkaI have some pretty out-there ideas around assistive technology and learning disabilities.For example, I believe all children should be taught phonics. This is the standard in most countries, but not in the US.I believe that for children who have fine motor skill deficit, keyboards are great, but so are gliding pens, such as gel, or fountain pens.I believe that for learning language, Esperanto can be an assistive technology, both for a foreign language, and even for someone who is struggling with English.I think slide rules should make a return, and would ideally have a larger role than graphing calculators (are these still around?)I think that privacy-respecting, FLOSS, and locally hosted AI can play a huge role in education, providing a host of services from explanations, to quizzing, to helping provide outlines and examples.<a href="https://babka.social/tags/Learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Learning</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/AssistiveTechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AssistiveTechnology</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/LearningDisabilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LearningDisabilities</a>

The Rat has been a very useful creature in various medical research fields, ranging from diabetes to learning differences to depression. When I bring up this topic, people typically think I am joking; but actually it is very serious.
