Come up with a list of illnesses which you think are
“hidden
symptoms”, for example, you can’t see if someone has a
headache.
Today we will…
Develop understanding
of long term illnesses and disability

the effects that certain long term illnesses and
disabilities can have on people

a PowerPoint presentation to teach other people about
your chosen illness

Task 1: Long-term illness and disability
All these conditions have what we might describe as
“hidden
symptoms”
– to look at someone you might not know that they
had a condition.
Does anyone know anything about any of these conditions?
