Functional Neurological Disorder needs more support.

FND is one of the most misunderstood conditions.
It can present as issues with:
Movement
Sensation
Speech
Cognition
Seizures

The biggest misconception with FND is when someone is experiencing a functional symptom.

Functional here means an issue with the function of the brain-body communication, not that someone is making it up, nor that it's "in their head".

FND has often been explained as a "software" issue (e.g., functioning of the nervous system) rather than a "hardware" issue (e.g., damage to structures such as the brain).

Let's reduce the stigma of FND, and find ways to support.
If you can spare a minute to support people with FND, and help it to be recognised the same as other neurological conditions, please feel free to sign the petition in the comments.

If you, or someone you know or love are looking to find out more about therapy or care after a brain injury, stroke, a neurological diagnosis, or other, please contact us to find out more about how we can help:

Last week our client practised a train journey during an occupational therapy session. Community-based interventions like these allow practise of functional abilities in real-world environments and develop practical strategies that support long-term independence.

Achieving outcomes and goals such as these, also require a high level of rapport and collaboration.
It's essential our clients feel comfortable and relaxed with the people in their team, so that they can always share what's on their mind. This means that the team can support them to find what works for them best in any given situation, and encourage them to achieve the things they want to.

What are your favourite things to do for fun in your community?
Let us know in the comments!

For some it's bike riding.
For others it's joining an art class, watching a football match, going to their local park, or enjoying their favourite café with a friend.

After a stoke, brain injury, or neurological event, Peartree Community is here to help people get back to the activities they love.

Our wonderful team of therapists, rehab assistants, and carers, are here to support individuals through SMART goal planning and client-centred, client-directed, rehabilitation programmes.

If you, or someone you know or love needs therapy or care after a brain injury, stroke, neurological diagnosis, or other, please contact us to find out more about how we can help:

During this occupational therapy session our client was supported to make spaghetti bolognese!

The goal of this session was to improve sequencing, memory, mobility in function, and problem solving. Supporting clients to rebuild these skills is crucial in them gaining independence and fulfilling a sense of achievement.

To track progress and ensure sessions are meeting client need, our team uses outcomes measures, SMART goal planning, and structured session plans. By doing this in collaboration with clients, it ensures they have the power to direct and influence sessions and approaches, so we can always remain client focused and centered.

Our Peartree community service delivers complex neuro rehab and care in clients' homes.

Whether clients have sustained a brain injury, had a stroke, or have been diagnosed with a condition such as FND or Parkinson's, our team can support.

In the photo is an example of an occupational therapy session taking place at a client's home. A simple tabletop activity becomes a powerful clinical tool for supporting word finding, semantic retrieval, sequencing, and auditory/visual processing.

Interventions such as these that are graded and client-centered, mean measurable goals and outcomes measures, and appropriately designed activities to match the level of ability for each client.

Once home, and community therapy sessions begin, carry over and maintenance of progress usually increase, as when the conditions/environment in which functional skills have been practised remain the same, it makes them easier to access.

Baking might look like a simple everyday activity, but in Occupational Therapy, it's a powerful way to help people regain independence, confidence, and essential life skills.

When someone is recovering from a brain injury, tasks like measuring ingredients, following a recipe, sequencing steps, using kitchen equipment, and managing time can be challenging. Through meaningful activities such as baking, occupational therapists use evidence-based therapy and outcome measures to help individuals practice and improve:

- Cognitive skills – planning, problem-solving, memory, and attention
- Fine motor skills – grasping, stirring, pouring, and decorating
- Upper limb function – strength, coordination, and dexterity
- Safety awareness – using equipment and managing risks
- Independence and confidence in everyday life

Most importantly, baking is a purposeful and enjoyable activity that connects therapy to real-life goals.

At Peartree we have found across clients that rehabilitation works best when it focuses on the activities that matter most to the individual. Because recovery isn't just about improving function, it's about helping people return to the things they love.

If you or someone you know needs therapy or complex care, and would like to find out more, please contact us via:

Recovery isn't always about the big milestones. Often, it's the small, consistent steps taken every day that make the greatest difference.

Here you can see one of our clients and their rehabilitation assistant, working hard on both paper-based and practical skills. The combination of both approaches can provide more variety when practicing skills.

Structured cognitive rehabilitation activities help support concentration, problem-solving, memory, and decision-making skills, all tailored to the individual's goals and abilities.

While on the other hand, a therapy-led walk through the park provides valuable opportunities to develop and maintain a range of important skills, including:

~Independent mobility
~Environmental awareness and risk management
~Navigating obstacles safely
~Graded exposure to unpredictable surroundings
~Visual processing and scanning skills
~Building confidence in the community

At Peartree Community Services, we understand that successful rehabilitation happens when therapy goals are integrated into everyday life. By supporting clients in meaningful activities within their own communities, we can help maximise independence, confidence, and quality of life.

Finding out client's interests is vital in tailoring therapy to the individual, as it helps therapists design sessions that feel meaningful and engaging for each client.

By identifying hobbies, values, and preferred activities, therapists can boost motivation, strengthen rapport, improve out-of-session therapy task engagement, and make interventions more relevant, all promoting better outcomes.

Here you can see members of our community team on a team building day.

Making time for focused conversation and connection supports team wellbeing by promoting a positive culture, building trust, and strengthening working relationships across roles. Consistent habits like these face to face meetings, in a community team that includes so much lone working, can make a big difference.

What habits do you implement that help your team stay connected?

Georgia is one of our wonderful clients who is currently working with our Peartree Community team. In these photos she's making breakfast with her rehabilitation assistant to get ready for the day!

Everyday routines that personalised therapy programmes can include, like preparing breakfast, are significant rehabilitation milestones. They support rebuilding independence, relearning sequencing and coordination, and boosting confidence.

If you, or anyone you know, need therapy, care, or complex care, please contact us to find out more about how we can help.
