Susie Mallett's CONDUCTIVE UPBRINGING AND LIFESTYLE: The ramp that connects Conductive Lifestylers and patents in Frankonia

The ramp that connects Conductive Lifestylers and patents in Frankonia

My neighbours get to hear lots about my conductive lifestyle stories. When they needed to take some photographs to illustrate how life with a disability can be made easier though use of a product that they produce in their small engineering works they knew just who to turn to – Susie Mallett’s Conductive Lifestyle team!

My neighbours, the Kastners, produce the ramps that cover cables and water pipes at rock concerts and funfairs. We all know them but we also all take them for granted.

Perhaps not many people have tried to go over these ramps other than by foot, but try riding a bike, pushing a pushchair or negotiating a wheelchair over one; it is not a pleasant experience. It is a very bumpy ride.

Recently my neighbours were asked to develop a new version of these ramps that is much longer than the originals that will make using a child’s buggy or a wheelchair at a rock concert much easier - unfortunately it cannot help against all that mud!

Once these ramps were successfully in production the design was patented.

The call for my help came just a few weeks ago when the Kastners were asked to display their wares at a local exhibition of industrial patents from Frankonia. They needed a few photos for their presentation and with our summer fete coming up three of my conductive lifestylers were able to help out, test riding the ramps.

I have decided to make things a bit easier for people who come to my blog, by creating this second site. My initial plan is that it will be entirely about conductive upbringing, but we shall see how it develops.

My wish is to publish articles by different people, by anyone who has a story to tell, questions to ask or information to share.

Of course I will also publish my own writings on conductive upbringing, but essentially this space will be for anyone who wishes to send me something to publish.

This can, for example, be something already published, either on another blog or as a paper. It can be a summary of something that has been discussed at a conference or between a group of colleagues, friends or parents. It can be something written especially for the blog about personal experiences. It can be something that has been discovered somewhere on the internet that can be discussed here on the blog, or it can be a posting full of questions for readers to attempt to answer.

It can be anything that you the readers, wish it to be.

I also wish to use this site to link to anything that I or readers discover anywhere, on line or on paper, about conductive upbringing.

I sowed the first seeds for this blog over a year ago now, then began planning it on line in the spring. Although the layout is not finished and I am having a lot of difficulties getting all the gadgets to work, I think it time to press the button and get it going, and let the rest sort itself out on the way.

If anyone wishes to publish something here then all that is needed to do is send it to me in an email or as a comment that can be moved into the main part of the blog if necessary.
