#OTalk @OTalk_ RT @RCOT_PLD: | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT A1. As OT practitioners, we are responsible for addressing their needs across the lifespan. #otalk | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ @SarahCordeaux Welcome! :D #OTalk | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1 for tonight's #OTalk! https://t.co/Uez9Df5D2x | |
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTthoughts Not a problem! Really interested in learning more about the topic! #Otalk | |
Nina Franziska (she/her) @ninafoxglove @OTalk_ Very excited to be joining you again #OTalk | |
Yee Wan Tham @yee_wan_tham RT @OTalk_: Question 1 for tonight's #OTalk! https://t.co/Uez9Df5D2x | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT A1. A basic thing we can do is to help develop necessary skills for daily living tasks. Down the line, we have an important role in transitioning them to adulthood. #otalk | |
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTalk_ I may be bit naive as a new grad but i would say the role is to address basic needs eg eating, washing, dressing but also facilitate leisure activities and promote activity and QoL #Otalk | |
ElspethOT @Els_OT @RCOT_PLD Occupational therapists are good at supporting people with PMLD to develop meaningful roles in their lives - what ever their abilities #Otalk | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ Always the best way to sum up OT, no matter who we're working with! :) #OTalk https://t.co/y8L4QFkxvm | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @jo3grace Sometimes that can include basic things like self care. Heard of a presentation about an elderly Down Syndrome patient... and the OT was presenting from a sister’s perspective. #otalk | |

Nina Franziska (she/her) @ninafoxglove @RCOT_PLD @OTalk_ Great #OTalk -Quite a challenge for me to process information and respond with concise replies-first week back after maternity leave | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT One thing we also have to address early on is family-centered solutions. 2 days ago, I shared a sad news article where a grandma who developed depression from providing care of her grandson suspected of having ADHD. #OTALK | |
sunny ot @ot_sunshine @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD Completely agree its all about engagement in meaningful activity, it takes lots of different shapes #OTalk | |
Fiona Cairns @fionamcairns @OTStudentDianne @RCOT_PLD #OTalk participation in activities ie integration into groups with more able customers (eg sensory baking/ cooking) | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ RT @LeoKellerOT: @RCOT_PLD Q1: | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ RT @jo3grace: | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Since we are talking about family centred care, I think a good idea is to use COPM on caregivers. #OTALK | |
Yee Wan Tham @yee_wan_tham @OTalk_ #Otalk one of them might be addressing their sensory needs through creative activities that are sensory stimulating and cater to their level of ability :) | |
ElspethOT @Els_OT Pleased to have time this evening to be joining in with the discussion on #Otalk about the role of occupational therapists who work with people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD). Very diverse and varied job! | |
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @RCOT_PLD Gardening groups, groups such as tac pac, sensory sessions eg sensory art, sensory cooking #Otalk | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ The main thing coming across so far in response to Q1 seems to be that there's a huge amount of variety in our roles! That's probably true of OTs working in most settings, but especially so when the needs of people with PMLD can vary so widely #OTalk https://t.co/7p8BpdpMwG | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT As for strategies, I feel that structure is extremely important. Moreover, hopefully there will be consistency between environments they frequent- school, home, etc. #otalk | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ That's a very interesting point @SkillyOT! #OTalk https://t.co/OGGtL6qxE3 | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Also, it is important to have a team approach between health professionals, teachers, other support workers, and the parents. #otalk | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ RT @jo3grace: | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ Second question! #OTalk https://t.co/g3CTJElL1b | |
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @RCOT_PLD I used to use tac pac sessions, sensory room sessions, sensory art or food sessions and music sessions with PMLD #Otalk | |
Fiona Cairns @fionamcairns #OTalk involvement in intensive interaction, and training staff in using this technique | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Given we are in digital era, though... it is also important for us to be aware of high tech options that can help- such as apps. We should try them out to see if they are appropriate. #otalk | |
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @RCOT_PLD One of my favourite sessions was having therapy dogs in and allowing service users to brush the dogs, stroke them or just watch the dogs chasing the ball around the garden #Otalk | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ RT @fionamcairns: #OTalk involvement in intensive interaction, and training staff in using this technique | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ RT @BillWongOT: Given we are in digital era, though... it is also important for us to be aware of high tech options that can help- such as apps. We should try them out to see if they are appropriate. #otalk | |
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD I used it a little in practice and went on a training session for it, absolutely love the structure of it and the chance for the service user to lead the session #Otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Common challenge can be- aside from unpredictable behaviors sometimes, finding appropriate services as they age... as they often might age out of available services. #otalk | |
Nina Franziska (she/her) @ninafoxglove @RCOT_PLD Getting to know the individual in a variety of different settings and using observation and Intensive Interaction to communicate and learn about the person's likes and dislikes.#OTalk | |
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD Im hoping to get my dog @PetsAsTherapyUK accredited! Love animal therapy #Otalk | |
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @Stellawellawoo @RCOT_PLD I've used this before to help facilitate and create therapeutic relationships, it really helped #Otalk | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ Intensive Interaction is coming up in a lot of the answers to Q2 - seems to fit well with OT philosophy of being client-centred #OTalk https://t.co/oiQ2frVYFn | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT An added one that will present itself in a place like Los Angeles is- finding healthcare practitioners that are multi-lingual for this population. #otalk | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ RT @Jordan_FScottOT: | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ @Kirstie_OT @colourful_ot Thanks Kirstie! :D #OTalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Another challenge is- although I hinted this with my last point, I will say families need help too! #otalk | |
Fiona Cairns @fionamcairns @OccupationalFox @RCOT_PLD @philking53 #OTalk yes, I work closely with our SLT introducing and using object signifiers for daily routines (eg cloth, toothbrush, cutlery) to add concrete meaning to activity | |
Nina Franziska (she/her) @ninafoxglove @IamAnOT17 @RCOT_PLD #OTalk joint work with those who know the person and an MDT holistic approach so important! Have used MOHO and POOL to write up OT findings and recommendations. Am Exploring the use of the Model of Creative Ability at the moment | |
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @SarahCordeaux @RCOT_PLD I've used most of these forms of communication before, found it really useful #Otalk | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ Definitely! Also connects to what someone was saying earlier about working closely with speech & language therapists - they have lots of expertise to share re: communication methods! #OTalk https://t.co/68ibNEZ98Q | |
Nina Franziska (she/her) @ninafoxglove @sue_mesa @RCOT_PLD #OTalk -yes the historical information is so helpful to form a complete picture and track any changes. | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT I just have to have a learn if they come approach for question 4. After all, I do have some such patients at my work... but they are either in locked units or bed ridden. #otalk | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ Question three already! Time flies when you're having fascinating discussions.. #OTalk https://t.co/HjKEZJ2jlN | |

#OTalk @OTalk_ RT @jo3grace: | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ RT @margaretOT360: | |
Nina Franziska (she/her) @ninafoxglove @RCOT_PLD #OTalk the biggest challenge is the health inequalities still faced by many and that basic health needs are not being met therefore leading to less opportunities for the individual to fully participate in every day activities. | |
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTalk_ Finding the best form of comminication for the person you are working with, understanding and picking up on really small cues such as vocalisations or eye movement #Otalk | |
Yee Wan Tham @yee_wan_tham @RCOT_PLD #Otalk adapting our approach and communication to cater to their needs and maximize their level of engagement in performing occupations. Pool Activity Level (PAL) Instrument for Occupational Profiling can help identify a person's functioning level :) | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ Coming back to Q1, one of the roles of an OT in this area is probably to advocate for clients and try to challenge low expectations of people with PMLD - definitely a challenging one! #OTalk https://t.co/MThSZFQsVH | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ RT @LeoKellerOT: @RCOT_PLD #OTalk Q3: | |
Ivy Anie @anieivy #OTalk hi | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ RT @Jacqusie: | |
Megan Rumsey @meganrumseyy RT @jo3grace: | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Answer to question 5- I don’t have much to comment because such patients at my work are either referred by primary physician or nursing (if they experienced decline). #otalk | |
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @philking53 @RCOT_PLD As an OTA i used to hate staff telling me a su wasn't interested or wouldn't want to engage without even asking/offering choice! It's a big pet peeve of mine #Otalk | |
Nina Franziska (she/her) @ninafoxglove @Yee_Wan_Tham @RCOT_PLD #OTalk-yes and just reminded em that it is abrehviated PAL not POOL-ha! | |
Yee Wan Tham @yee_wan_tham @RCOT_PLD #Otalk concentration and attention, I find that this client group can benefit more from shorter sessions or longer sessions with frequent breaks | |
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTStudentDianne @JHedgesStearn @RCOT_PLD @jo3grace I previously used objects with someone to link to activities eg a drum for a music session or a paint brush for art, found it useful #otalk | |
Fiona Cairns @fionamcairns #OTalk the debate about cognitive functioning age V chronological age, and how to pitch activities so they are meaningful and suited the the individual | |
Nina Franziska (she/her) @ninafoxglove #OTalk very true https://t.co/3xnlM6INUX | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ RT @RCOT_PLD: | |
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @RCOT_PLD Personally, as a new grad i would like some more training in assesments etc, mainly for my own confidence #Otalk | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ RT @beckycooper___: | |
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @margaretOT360 Unfortunately, I'm sure it does. #Otalk | |
Nina Franziska (she/her) @ninafoxglove @Stellawellawoo We need more Occupational Therapist to enable us to do more and help the person make the changes to their overal quality of life!#OTalk | |

#OTalk @OTalk_ RT @SkillyOT: | |
Sharmaine brown @mziceqx @RCOT_PLD @OTalk_ I develop new skills with every service user I work with! #OTalk | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ RT @margaretOT360: | |
Yee Wan Tham @yee_wan_tham @RCOT_PLD @PavilionotPark #Otalk After finishing my placement at @PavilionotPark, I must say there are so much more to learn! Whether it’s finding the right balance when doing an activity or interacting with them, you need be adaptable in different situations,especially risk assessing | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ RT @RCOT_PLD: | |
Sharmaine brown @mziceqx @RCOT_PLD @OTalk_ I found my earlier support worker role for adults with PMLD helped me in my current OT role - working with them from a different perspective. #OTalk | |

Sharmaine brown @mziceqx RT @sue_mesa: | |
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @sharontuppenyot True, i was including intervention ideas such as tac pac, sensory session ideas and how to use these for assesments as well if that makes sense, i feel i need to know more and my current expereince is limited #Otalk | |
Fiona Cairns @fionamcairns RT @beckycooper___: | |
Nina Franziska (she/her) @ninafoxglove @RCOT_PLD #OTalk-yes as Occupational therapist we do-but as always we need to continue to have opportunities to thrive,learn,reflect and build relationships with individuals and those that support them. | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ RT @LeoKellerOT: | |
K-OT (she, her) 💙 @kalessandram @philking53 @RCOT_PLD Never stops #OTalk | |
Fiona Cairns @fionamcairns @beckycooper___ @OTthoughts @OTStudentDianne #OTalk working really closely with carers/ support staff in joint sessions. They provide knowledge of customer, we offer fresh ideas & ways of seeing things/ practical advice/ techniques | |
Nina Franziska (she/her) @ninafoxglove @MzIceqx @RCOT_PLD @OTalk_ #OTalk me too! | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ Last few minutes of tonight's #OTalk - any final thoughts? It's been great to see the diverse knowledge experience that everyone brought to the chat! :D | |
Yee Wan Tham @yee_wan_tham RT @jo3grace: | |
ElspethOT @Els_OT @RCOT_PLD This is a really good question, I guess I would ask if there could ever be enough research into OT practice?! The evidence base for some interventions in this area needs to be strengthened....that’s why we need more OT’s involved with research! #Otalk | |
Nina Franziska (she/her) @ninafoxglove @sue_mesa @RCOT_PLD @beckycooper___ @philking53 @Stellawellawoo #OTalk that will be interesting | |
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @LeoKellerOT @sharontuppenyot Its a sensory based intervention focusing on music, actions, intense interaction, communication through doing https://t.co/TjHmUi2U7G #OTalk | |

Khalilah R. Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @OccScienceBae #OTalk - I hate I was unable to join you all at the beginning of today’s chat. AAIDD is hosting a webinar on practice and research with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. https://t.co/2yGIMawiMs | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ @GillyGorry @RCOT_PLD @colourful_ot Thanks! Looking forward to my next one! :) #OTalk | |
Khalilah R. Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @OccScienceBae @RCOT_PLD Short answer, no, especially as it pertains to adult clients with severe learning disabilities (or intellectual disability here in the US). I believe the tides are turning here given the resurgence of advocacy. #OTalk | |
Megan Rumsey @meganrumseyy RT @jo3grace: | |
Nina Franziska (she/her) @ninafoxglove @josiejo_OT Yes do-you will learn lots and mostly likely enjoy it! #OTalk | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ RT @LeoKellerOT: | |
