#OOFRASchat Q3. What are the #legal, #professional, #ethical obligations of an #OccupationalTherapist who doesn’t share a #Language with the person they are working with? #ProfessionalDevelopment
OOFRAS Network @OOFRAS
Important observation by @brockcookOT - if you don't ask the right questions about context you can't get the information needed for acceptable and effective plans. And if neither party can understand the question or answers - any plan is unlikely to work! #OOFRASchat

#InformedConsent and also countries with #AntiDiscrimination legislation are two more #Legal reasons to use professional #Interpreters when needed. #OOFRASchat
OOFRAS Network @OOFRAS
And be sure to thank the #Interpreter for their service too! It's cognitively demanding, and emotionally demanding too at times. #OOFRASchat

#OOFRASchat Q4. What is the duty of an occupational therapist when best practice is not possible? #ProfessionalDevelopment #OccupationalTherapists
OOFRAS Network @OOFRAS
@brockcookOT @ClarissaAdriel Many communities have words for 'crazy'. Sometimes less stigmatising words like 'tension' cover everything other than a total break down, so it still takes lots of clarification with #interpreter to understand #culture #language #OOFRASchat

#OOFRASchat Q5. How can occupational therapists respect, protect, and defend the right of someone who speaks a different language to access a safe and ethical service?
OOFRAS Network @OOFRAS
Q5. Defend rights. Speak up as you witness someone from a culturally & linguistically diverse background get a worse service due to language (less education, no family involvement, inappropriate use of children as interpreter, excluded from consultation etc) #OOFRASchat
