Hi Aimee, that film was great! i was wondering in regard to the Otago Polytechnic and the fire escape issue you brought up; does the building have a fire access for those in a wheelchair?

Hi Sarah, no, after discussing this issue with James, he told us that much to our surprise there is in fact no fire escape for those in wheelchairs! Because the lifts would be unusable, they would somehow have to get down the stairs - either rely on the fireman or hopefully others would carry them out! I believe that the Polytech should consider this issue further as it is a prime example of occupational deprivation.

Sarah, I found this blog to be of interest. I found reading through and looking at all the videos of people who have experiences a stoke really fascinating and feel it has given me more of an insight in to what the two main types of strokes are and how a stroke impacts on a persons life. Do you know if there is a stroke rehabilitation unit in Dunedin?

Hi Victoria, I'm glad you liked it :) From some quick research into your question I've found that Dunedin Hospital has an Acute Stroke Unit (ASU) which provides therapeutic intervention into those patients who have had a stroke. there are also a few elderly rest homes around Dunedin who have stroke rehabilitation in their 'areas of expertise'
