I just attended a good Zoom by a local group for adults with #Autism

Tonight's Zoom was about #sensory issues and #OccupationalTherapy We also discussed ANC headphones and other technical coping mechanisms.

I did not know you could get folding #ZimmerFrames .  Today we got one.  They seem to be significantly handier than the regular #OccupationalTherapy / #Orthopædics ones.  Maybe lighter but better balanced.  And of course, they fold to get them out of the way at need.  The world does get a little better ... I won’t say how many steps in which direction, ’cause, y’know...

Mit Unterstützung des BTE (Baltimore Therapeutic Equipment) können unsere Therapeutinnen und Therapeuten besonders gut auf die Belange der Patientinnen und Patienten eingehen. Vom Öffnen eines Fensters bis zum Lenken eines Fahrzeuges, lassen sich hier vielfältige und im Alltag notwendige Bewegungen simulieren und trainieren. Wir zeigen den Betroffenen, worauf sie bei der Ausführung achten müssen. Die Therapiemöglichkeiten sind genauso vielfältig wie die Menschen selbst. #occupationaltherapy

Had an amazing conference in Cairns- with a lot of conversations and connection, a real spotlight on living experience expertise and some not very wintry weather. #OccupationalTherapy #OTA2023

Haven’t seen so many occupational therapists in one place for a while! #OccupationalTherapy #OTA2023- and they are still coming!

We were delighted to be invited to assist the Royal College of Occupational Therapists with their new guide.

I need to take some advice from therapy on board. Instead of binge working on a painting spend just 1 or 2 hours at a time each day working on 1 price over a week and balance other activities like cleaning netflix and gaming Into each day. Get some balance take my time now I know how to paint, no harm in taking more time #therapy #occupationalTherapy #planning

Sharing for the #OccupationalTherapy crowd - call for special issue papers for Aust OT Journal- intersect between policy and practice https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/pb-assets/assets/14401630/Special%20Issue%20Call%20for%20Papers_Policy%20and%20Practice_AOT-1680570965.pdf

Ideas for activities to help recover function from right-hemisphere stroke -- activating left hand, recovering left visual field, improving hand-eye coordination and coordination in general, sensory stimulation, tactile feedback... all these things can be found in dollar and thrift stores and possibly already in your own home. I'll be posting about each one (eventually) in this thread. #stroke #recovery #BrainHacks #hemianopsia #ElderCare #DIY #OccupationalTherapy #PhysTher

Are people finding mastodon a good forum for sharing conferences? Excited about the Australian #OccupationalTherapy conference later this year and wondering if I should live toot some if it. #mastodon #conferences

Proud to have been presenting the OPISI~DE (German version of the #OPISI), an OT-developed assessment to assess performance problems in #sexuality and #intimacy, on the annual Austrian OT-conference this weekend in #Salzburg/Austria. Full auditorium with more than 200 colleagues. Spread the word and check it out 4 yourself: https://uindy.edu/health-sciences/ot/opisi-de #OT #OccupationalTherapy

Happy #TerminologyTuesday! Today let’s learn more about OTs and their role in special education. #SpecialEducation #DevelopmentalDisabilities #OccupationalTherapy

I have some TV programs on in the background while I do my ~1 hour of physical therapy every day.

What do you do to help the boredom and pass the time? Listen to music? Podcasts? News?

What keeps you wanting to come back to it day after day?

Empowering daily habits with occupational therapy

Life can be overwhelming at times, and it can feel like there's not enough time to make changes. But that's where occupational therapy comes in! As OTs, we support our patients by showing them how to make small, yet impactful changes in their daily routines.

Beyond the stereotypes: the truth about occupational therapy

As an occupational therapist, I often hear people assuming that our field is only about helping people with their jobs or assisting children with their handwriting. But the truth is, occupational therapy is so much more than that!

In honor of my first time attending the #ATIA conference, I'd like to share a playlist I created while serving as a volunteer at Shirley Ryan Ability Lab (formerly RIC) in #Chicago. I made it so therapists leading group activities would have something fun for people to listen to. Please enjoy!

RT @theOThub: Upper limb dystonia 👋🏽 "Can anyone suggest a simple assessment (free to access) for dystonia, i.e. some kind of self-rating scale?"

Please reply to Michelle in her forum: https://t.co/MEzFdroQ22 (thank you on her behalf!) #OccupationalTherapy

I often get asked how #VirtualPlacements work by other #PracticeEducators. Currently, myself and my #OccupationalTherapy students, Jo and Hollie are working on the same report from 3 different locations using Track Changes to suggest edits and sending each other WhatApp messages and voice notes. It's awesome.
It's like collaborative working in an office except I'm on the sofa with a heated blanket and my feet up. Sometimes I just like to sit and think about how much has chanced since Dial-up Internet and SuperLogo lessons at primary school!
