The Essential Role of an Allied Health Assistant in Your Care Journey

When it comes to healthcare, the support provided by allied health assistants plays a vital role in delivering effective, personalized care. These skilled professionals work closely with allied health therapists to provide essential assistance in the implementation of treatment plans, improving patient outcomes and enhancing the overall care experience. At Cole Allied Health, we understand the importance of an allied health assistant in making therapy more accessible and effective, and we are proud to have a dedicated team supporting our clients in Surry Hills and beyond.

What Is an Allied Health Assistant?

An allied health assistant is a trained professional who works under the supervision of qualified allied health therapists, such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech pathologists. They assist with the delivery of care and therapy services, helping to implement treatment plans and offering hands-on support to patients. While allied health assistants are not responsible for diagnosing or creating treatment plans, they play a critical role in the rehabilitation process by ensuring that therapy is administered consistently and effectively.

At Cole Allied Health, our allied health assistants work closely with our therapists to provide personalized care tailored to the needs of each individual. They help with exercises, assist in developing daily living skills, and ensure that patients are comfortable and engaged throughout their treatment sessions.

The Role of an Allied Health Assistant

Support with Therapy Implementation One of the primary responsibilities of an allied health assistant is to assist with implementing the treatment plans designed by physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech pathologists. This might include guiding patients through exercises, activities, or interventions that help to improve mobility, function, or communication. By providing hands-on support, allied health assistants ensure that patients receive the most benefit from their therapy sessions.

Monitoring Progress and Feedback Allied health assistants often monitor patient progress and provide feedback to the supervising therapists. They track changes in a patient's condition, noting improvements or challenges, and help adjust the treatment approach as needed. This continuous feedback loop ensures that the therapy remains effective and aligned with the patient’s goals.

Personal Care and Assistance In many cases, allied health assistants assist patients with personal care tasks that are part of their rehabilitation, such as dressing, eating, or mobility exercises. For example, an allied health assistant working with an occupational therapist might help a patient practice dressing or cooking skills, essential for independent living.

Providing Emotional and Social Support Allied health assistants are also instrumental in providing emotional and social support to patients during therapy sessions. They offer encouragement and motivation, helping patients stay engaged in their treatment and building trust and rapport. This emotional support is often just as important as physical rehabilitation in ensuring long-term success.

Benefits of Allied Health Assistants

Increased Access to Care By working alongside therapists, allied health assistants ensure that patients receive regular, ongoing support. This allows for more frequent therapy sessions, helping patients stay on track with their rehabilitation and enhancing their recovery.

More Personalized and Comprehensive Care The close collaboration between allied health assistants and therapists allows for a more individualized approach to care. This teamwork enables the development of tailored treatment plans that can address a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional health needs.

Improved Outcomes and Efficiency Having an allied health assistant available to support therapy sessions allows therapists to focus on more complex aspects of care. This increases the overall efficiency of the treatment process, allowing for faster progress and better results.

Today my therapist introduced me to a concept surrounding disability that she called "hLep".

[plain-text version of this post can be found under the cut]

Which is when you - in this case, you are a disabled person - ask someone for help ("I can't drink almond milk so can you get me some whole milk?", or "Please call Donna and ask her to pick up the car for me."), and they say yes, and then they do something that is not what you asked for but is what they think you should have asked for ("I know you said you wanted whole, but I got you skim milk because it's better for you!", "I didn't want to ruin Donna's day by asking her that, so I spent your money on an expensive towing service!") And then if you get annoyed at them for ignoring what you actually asked for - and often it has already happened repeatedly - they get angry because they "were just helping you! You should be grateful!!"

And my therapist pointed out that this is not "help", it's "hLep".

Sure, it looks like help; it kind of sounds like help too; and if it was adjusted just a little bit, it could be help. But it's not help. It's hLep.

At its best, it is patronizing and makes a person feel unvalued and un-listened-to. Always, it reinforces the false idea that disabled people can't be trusted with our own care. And at its worst, it results in disabled people losing our freedom and control over our lives, and also being unable to actually access what we need to survive.

So please, when a disabled person asks you for help on something, don't be a hLeper, be a helper! In other words: they know better than you what they need, and the best way you can honor the trust they've put in you is to believe that!

Also, I want to be very clear that the "getting angry at a disabled person's attempts to point out harmful behavior" part of this makes the whole thing WAY worse. Like it'd be one thing if my roommate bought me some passive-aggressive skim milk, but then they heard what I had to say, and they apologized and did better in the future - our relationship could bounce back from that. But it is very much another thing to have a crying shouting match with someone who is furious at you for saying something they did was ableist. Like, Christ, Jessica, remind me to never ask for your support ever again! You make me feel like if I asked you to call 911, you'd order a pizza because you know I'll feel better once I eat something!!

Edit: crediting my therapist by name with her permission - this term was coined by Nahime Aguirre Mtanous!

Edit again: I made an optional follow-up to this post after seeing the responses. Might help somebody. CW for me frankly talking about how dangerous hLep really is.

What Joe Biden has Done for LGBTQ+ People

I wanted to list out everything The Biden Administration has done for Queer people in the last 3 and a half years, but according to GLAAD it'd been 337 moves (and I noticed they missed a few things...) there was just no way to list every ground breaking first Queer person ever nominated to fill this or that job, every ally with a historic LGBT rights record nominated for a top job, every beautiful statement of support, every time he tried to get Congress to pass the Equality Act (support it!)

NDIS and Occupational Therapy

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a new way for people with permanent and significant disabilities to receive support and live an independent life. It gives them control over how they get help and what sort of supports they need, allowing them to choose their own personalised plan.

NDIS and occupational therapy can help NDIS participants with their everyday tasks and activities, increasing comfort and independence in the home and workplace. OTs can teach you how to do things, recommend the right equipment, and organise transport for you if needed.

NDIS Funding for Occupational Therapist Services

The NDIS provides funding to support people with permanent and significant disabilities to meet their goals through a personalised plan, including occupational therapy. This means that you can receive the support you need to improve your health and wellbeing, and enjoy the benefits of living an active lifestyle.

When preparing your NDIS plan, it’s important to make sure you describe your needs in a realistic manner and convey what you want your NDIS plan to achieve. This will ensure that you receive the best possible funding for your chosen providers, which will result in you receiving the support you need and deserve.

It’s also important to choose an OT with experience and a range of specialties, so that they can provide you with the support you need to achieve your goals. If you need to speak to an OT, you can contact the NDIS to find out what kind of occupational therapists are available in your area.

Choosing an Occupational Therapist for Your NDIS Program

Once you have created your plan, it’s important to find the right OT for you. They can help you with many different aspects of your life, from improving your mobility and independence to improving your mental and emotional well-being.

Finding an OT for your NDIS program can be difficult, so it’s essential to find a therapist with experience and a range of specialties. This will ensure that you receive the support you need to improve your health, wellbeing and quality of life.

You can also ask a therapist for referrals to other providers who have previously worked with NDIS participants. These could include other allied health professionals, such as speech therapists and psychologists.

The NDIS has strict guidelines for what you need to provide in order to prove your disability. This includes documentation from doctors and other healthcare professionals, such as physiotherapists, speech therapists, psychologists and OTs.

In addition to obtaining a medical diagnosis, the NDIS will ask for assessment reports and letters from various health professionals. These reports are essential for proving that you have a disability and the kind of support you need, so they can accurately determine your eligibility for funding under the NDIS.

The NDIS can be a confusing and intimidating process for anyone who is new to the system, but it’s important to remember that the aim of the NDIS is to give you control over your support, so the more detail you can provide about your goals and how they affect your daily life, the better chance you have of ensuring that you receive the funding you need to reach them. It’s also a good idea to communicate your needs and wishes in clear, day-to-day language, as this will make the process go faster.

Premium Disability Support Services is an NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) Service Provider based in Melbourne. We provide disability support services all across Melbourne. We support all individuals with disabilities to develop the skills and capabilities that they require to achieve independence and participate in society.

5H

Your children, your inner child, you as a parent, your nieces, your nephews, romantic partners (short term), artistic partners E.g co-writers, collaborators, people involved in your projects, your students, your mentees, your investors, your hook up partners, people who you gamble or just play games with.

5H represents children, creativity, your mentoring to others, gambling, fun, joyful light love affairs, it’s also ruled by Leo. So we have these people involved with these themes

12H

Spiritual beings, your religion, spiritual forces, your subconscious mind, artists, creative people, writers, hospital patients, prisoners, monks, religious people, volunteers, dreamers, charities.

12H represents those that can derive what is within their inner secluded world and bring it into reality. It’s associated with empathy, mental/spiritual state, seclusion and the bed. The people here would be those that would retreat, help others and tap into realms beyond the physical)

The Truth About Trumponomics

Trump and Republicans want to wreck your bank account. Here are 5 things you need to know about Trumponomics.

1.Trump wants tax cuts for the rich, at your expense.

Trump’s tax cuts for the rich and big corporations added about $1.7 trillion to the national debt, with few benefits trickling down to the middle class — in fact, it raised taxes for more than 10 million American families.

Now Trump and Republicans want to make the tax cuts for the rich permanent, blowing up the debt even further. And then they’ll use that debt to justify this:

2. Trump would cut Social Security and Medicare — programs you’ve been paying into!

In every year of his presidency, Trump submitted a budget that tried to cut Social Security and Medicare. And he knows that’s the only way he can even begin to pay for extending his tax cuts for the rich.

3. Trump and his allies are pro-junk fee.

When the Biden administration issued a rule capping credit card late fees at $8, Sen. Tim Scott, a Trump surrogate, tried to overturn it in the Senate. And then a Trump-appointed judge issued a temporary injunction that blocked the rule from taking effect. Eliminating that rule would cost American families an estimated $10 billion a year.

And when the Biden administration required airlines to issue automatic refunds for canceled flights, Trump’s allies in Congress fought to block that too.

When Trump was in office, his administration fought against efforts to rein in airline junk fees.

Corporations nickel and diming us like this makes inflation worse. If Trump gets back in the White House, buckle up for more junk fees.

4. Trump would send health care costs soaring.

Republicans have committed to repealing the Inflation Reduction Act, which would strip Medicare of the ability to negotiate drug prices, and let Big Pharma send the price of insulin and other life-saving medicines back through the roof.

And Trump is still fixated on repealing Obamacare, with no plan to replace it.

TRUMP: Obamacare is a disaster. We’re gonna do something about it.

That would strip coverage from tens of millions of Americans, drive up premiums, and let insurers charge more or deny coverage to people with preexisting conditions.

5, If you’ve got student debt, you’re out of luck with Trump.

In contrast to President Biden, who’s canceled more than $160 billion of student debt so far, Trump is against student debt relief. In his first term, he tried to eliminate the popular Public Service Loan Forgiveness program for people like teachers and nurses, and he’s called the idea of debt relief “unfair.”

What’s unfair, is how student debt hurts not just the roughly 40 million Americans burdened by it, but the entire economy, since Americans with debt have less money to spend, are less likely to start a business, less likely to buy a home, and more likely to rely on government assistance.

The MAGA agenda would make nearly every aspect of your life more expensive, while making the richest Americans even richer.

Teddy Roosevelt’s economic plan was called the Square Deal. Franklin Roosevelt’s was the New Deal.

What Trump is offering is simply a Raw Deal.

FLORIDA TRANS PALS, IT IS TIME TO PLAN

Especially if you are on HRT!

HB1421 is a bill that severely affects access to gender affirming care, including for adults. It outlines goals to:

1) Prohibit changing gender markers on birth certificates

2) Require that gender affirming care only come from physicians (not nurse practioners) who take on liability insurance for 30 YEARS after they provide care to a patient

3) Require informed consent forms at every single appointment, including distributing literature to dissuade patients

4) Ban transition care completely for minors

5) Make it so providers who accept state funds cannot provide gender affirming services (this is the big one that stands to affect anyone who takes medicare/aid, is a university, etc.).

6) Make it so providers who accept state funds cannot reimburse for gender affirming services.

We are facing a return to the Harry Benjamin days, or worse, an effective ban unless you are fortunate/wealthy enough to find a willing provider.

If it passes, this bill would take effect July 1, 2023. That is not a lot of time.

I would not count on any Rx or refill request to be honored after this date if the prescribing and dispensing sources no longer are allowed to grant care or decide to drop care because of the penalties.

July 1, 2023. Unless we hear otherwise, that is your clock.

This sucks, but there is comfort in seeing a clear date to plan around and the worst case is no longer completely unknown. It begins July 1.

--------------------------------------------

YOUR HOMEWORK, DUE ASAP:

--------------------------------------------

1) Get any and all your HRT appointments in now, including picking up your meds and doing bloodwork promptly.

2) If you think you will be living in FL come July, start looking now for providers where physicians - not NPs - provide the care. Get an appointment on the books for July. Be prepared to go in person for everything after July 1, because I believe telemed will also be shit-canned. Here is a map of informed consent providers.

3) If you are an old like me, also dig up your HRT permission slip from your therapist. Fuck, make a packet of all your transition documents, including Rx history.

4) If you are on private insurance, start budgeting now to prepare to pay out of pocket.

5) Create a simple spreadsheet of all your HRT dates (pls forgive, my experience is with shots on a 2 week cycle, so this is pretty easy for me to do) and plan out how long your current supply will last. Then, forecast how long all your upcoming refills before July 1 will last. Update it every time you pick up and take your meds. Refer to it for decisions like moving or finding backup providers.

6) Subscribe to the bill to get notified of changes asap

7) Follow this site to keep tabs on other very scary bills happening in Florida, including a bathroom ban and a child custody bill that is effectively kidnapping

8) If you need to change your birth certificate, do it now, pay the rush fees and write RUSH on the envelope. The Department of Health has the most up-to-date forms. Processing time for rush I last saw was around 18 business days.

9) Now that your own oxygen mask is on, so they say, boost mutual aid and recruit allies to assist in any way possible.

-----

Do try to continue seeing your current provider as long as possible, as they likely will need your support. Talk to them frankly about their plans if the bill passes.

Now. I am just a little guy and not a legal expert, but the aggressive enactment date on this bill makes me feel like everyone should plan now instead of waiting to see if it passes.

Be safe, plan, and then get a little rest. Do not lose hope - this bill could still fail.

5 Ways Allied Health Assistants Improve Patient Outcomes

When we think of healthcare, doctors and nurses often come to mind; however, there are many other healthcare professionals that contribute to the field. One such group is allied health assistants, who are vital members of the healthcare team. These assistants work alongside doctors and nurses to improve patient outcomes by providing various services.

In this blog post, we will discuss five ways in which allied health assistants improve patient outcomes.

American Medical Certification Association (AMCA) is headquartered in Fairfield, New Jersey. AMCA was established with the vision of enhancing the allied healthcare industry by providing national certification exams that validate the knowledge and expertise of professionals in this field.

Dp x Dc AU: Tucker gets hired by the JL to work on the Watchtower’s cybersecurity... He might have a few friends visit. 

Batman looked over the application for visitors presented to him by Dr. Foley, who was nervously wringing his hands but seemed excited to talk about his two close associates, and it appeared that everything was in order for the pair to be allotted a short visitation time slot. 

The paperwork was established by Batman himself after all, needing a way to permit non-members (His Children) to visit him at his office in the watchtower. Looking over Dr. Foley’s application, the invites to Dr. D. Fenton and Dr. S. Manson seemed to be somewhat warranted.

Dr. Fenton is a well known astrophysicist and Dr. Foley had been upping the security to reflect more complex physics models as the ‘lock’ mechanism for access to Watchtower servers. Dr. Manson was a more controversial figure in social justice but a biochemist to rival Dr. Pamela Isley, not to mention she was someone Bruce Wayne had met a number of times and not completely hated (though he was sure she hated him and everyone else in the gala). She was a fan favorite guest by his children and a great advocate for animal and human rights. 

Batman approves the application, allowing their visitation for a few hours at a time once a week until the completion of Dr. Foley’s project. 

He doesn’t hear much from it, nor from Dr. Foley, but things start to come down the rumor grapevine that the two guests were more than they seemed. Red Robin was the first to comment on it to him, and as practical and efficient Tim could be, there was a look of chaos in his smile as he discussed the two additional PhDs. He was stingy on details and that always meant something bad for Bruce’s mental health. A few others asked a few questions as to who exactly the pair were visiting, and Cyborg commented that they weren’t really doing too much to assist Dr. Foley. 

Batman decides to intervene and meet these two for himself when he hears Constantine complain (not that the man wasn’t always complaining about something) about the two new magic users being way too OP for normal humans. 

This is how the JL gets to become allied with Ghost King Phantom and Thorn (not Poison Ivy pt.2 as Robin insisted). Turns out they weren’t sure if the JL could be trusted with interdimensional politics, so Tucker spent the last two years gaining their trust to let Danny and Sam up here to ‘check the place out’ before they committed to becoming members. 

Batman doesn’t even get to raise alarms at the espionage of it all because Red Robin has already programed their new badges and welcomed them on with open arms and a project to take down the LOA’s Lazarus Pits “safely”.
