 | Joanna Grace @jo3grace RT @RCOT_PLD: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @RCOT_PLD: |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace I'm really interested to learn what OT's get asked to do with people with PMLD, or whether they tend to get asked to work with those considered more able #otalk |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace 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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace I'm not an OT, so OTs out there: educate me, what do you get asked to do with people with PMLD? #otalk Do you get enough time or are you drawn away to the "more able"? |
 | Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTthoughts Not a problem! Really interested in learning more about the topic! #Otalk |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @BillWongOT What would you say these needs are? #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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @josiejo_OT My work focuses on supporting people with PMLD, but I am not an OT #otalk don't lurk too much, I want to hear from everyone! |
| 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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD Can you give some examples relevant to people with PMLD? #OTalk |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @kerri_schOT @RCOT_PLD Can you give some examples relevant to people with PMLD? #OTalk |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @BillWongOT Can you give some examples relevant to people with PMLD? #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 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @LeoKellerOT Do you find that equality is what happens in the real world? #Otalk, I know for example in the world of behaviour those more physically able tend to get support first. |
| 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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @margaretOT360 Can you give some examples relevant to people with PMLD? #OTalk |
| 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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @Els_OT @RCOT_PLD Can you give some examples of meaningful roles? #Otalk for people with PMLD |
| 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: |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace #otalk take a look at the Core Standards for Supporting people with PMLD to get an idea of the types of disability that this term denotes https://t.co/JgSLMVndcl |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @jo3grace: #otalk take a look at the Core Standards for Supporting people with PMLD to get an idea of the types of disability that this term denotes https://t.co/JgSLMVndcl |
| 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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace People with PMLD will typically have multiple physical, sensory and cognitive impairments, #otalk they are likely to experience epilepsy and a variety of other challenges to their involvement and engagement with life. |
| 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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace People with PMLD are at increased risk of mental health difficulties #otalk basically the research shows the more disabled you are the more vulnerable you are to mental ill health and the less likely you are to have it recognised as a mental health issue. |
| #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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace RT @SkillyOT: |
| 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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @RCOT_PLD There seems to be a confusion about PMLD on tonight's #Otalk with some tweeters talking about people with SLD, rather than PMLD (severe/profound) Are people with PMLD a hidden group because we are not aware of them? |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @RCOT_PLD Here is Mencap's definition of PMLD, so tonight's #otalk tweeters can see the group they are discussing https://t.co/iDxhLspz6a |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace RT @LeoKellerOT: |
| #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: @RCOT_PLD Here is Mencap's definition of PMLD, so tonight's #otalk tweeters can see the group they are discussing https://t.co/iDxhLspz6a |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace RT @margaretOT360: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Second question! #OTalk https://t.co/g3CTJElL1b |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @margaretOT360 Love it! #otalk |
| 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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @RCOT_PLD I use sensory engagement techniques, sensory stories and intensive interaction in my support of people with PMLD #otalk just training up my son to do the same! :-) https://t.co/TKueg0E2vb |
| #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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace Following the Sensory-being project one of our artists (with PMLD) who had previously only engaged through eye-gaze tech got involved with his day to day life via bulldog clips and bits of ribbon! #otalk https://t.co/TLGvKt0J3J |
| 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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @SkillyOT @RCOT_PLD Absolutely right with postural care. I don't know if I am allowed to share links but there are FREE sensory stories to support postural care here #otalk https://t.co/u0q2Aiuza6 see @SimpleStuffWrks link down the page |
| 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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @LeoKellerOT You can read more here: https://t.co/ExEucHsYXE #otalk |
| 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: |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @Abi21643842 @OTalk_ Thank you, the team behind the standards are keen that every setting that supports people with PMLD is aware of them https://t.co/JgSLMVndcl #otalk |
| #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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace #otalk is overlapping with #PMLDchat - can any standardised assement ever match the incredibly diverse population that is people with PMLD? |
| 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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace RT @RCOT_PLD: |
| 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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @RCOT_PLD One of the biggest challenges I face is the swamping of language that happens around non verbal people which can impair their ability to respond to sensory experiences #Otalk sometimes just being quiet enables people |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @beckycooper___ @philking53 @Stellawellawoo @RCOT_PLD Check out @UsInABus for information on intensive interaction #otalk |
 | dave ogden @DaveDaoggio RT @Hudds_Uni_OT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @jo3grace: @beckycooper___ @philking53 @Stellawellawoo @RCOT_PLD Check out @UsInABus for information on intensive interaction #otalk |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace Sensory stories can engage people with PMLD in communication, used over time we see increased responses #otalk stories can also support the expression of preferences and about 4 pages of other things too. Gorgeously simple effective resource. |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @jo3grace: @RCOT_PLD One of the biggest challenges I face is the swamping of language that happens around non verbal people which can impair their ability to respond to sensory experiences #Otalk sometimes just being quiet enables people |
| #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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @margaretOT360 The freedom to be completely person centred is wonderful, and very much in line with the New Core and Essential Service Standards for Supporting People with PMLD https://t.co/JgSLMV5BNL #otalk |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @margaretOT360 How do you get other people to shh? #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 :) |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @JHedgesStearn @OTStudentDianne @RCOT_PLD Have a look at https://t.co/rhYSWIDxSC #otalk and if you're still at Plymouth look out for me speaking on the education course (you could pop in) |
| #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: Following the Sensory-being project one of our artists (with PMLD) who had previously only engaged through eye-gaze tech got involved with his day to day life via bulldog clips and bits of ribbon! #otalk https://t.co/TLGvKt0J3J |
| 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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @SkillyOT @RCOT_PLD Leading by example is often the most powerful way, but it is still something I struggle with #otalk information about processing capacity can also empower people to dare to be quiet |
| 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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @OTalk_ We hope that the New Core and Essential Service Standards for Supporting People with PMLD will empower settings to make sure all staff understand the abilities of those they support https://t.co/JgSLMVndcl #otalk |
| Nina Franziska (she/her) @ninafoxglove #OTalk very true https://t.co/3xnlM6INUX |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @margaretOT360 That's wonderful, immersive multi sensory theatre companies such as Fozen Light and Oily Cart often get wonderful responses from their audiences, it's a marvellous thing to be able to do. #otalk |

| 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 |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @MeganRumseyy He is very very missed, and very very proudly talked about everywhere I go! #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 |

| Joanna Grace @jo3grace Q3 (I'm not keeping up) #otalk I co presented a TEDx talk with a woman with PMLD, we spoke about Pity being a barrier and how we break it down. https://t.co/IQAInjjyyS |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @margaretOT360 Absolutely, a person may be functionally at the level of a baby a few months old, but will have the emotional maturity of someone their chronological age #otalk #PMLD |
| Nina Franziska (she/her) @ninafoxglove @jo3grace #OTalk will have to check it out |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @RCOT_PLD: |
| #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: |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace We need to make sure that we join their communication and not assume they will understand what we mean, pressing a switch that says yes, could be about saying yes, or about the sensation of the click #otalk |
| 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: |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @margaretOT360 In education there was a white paper in 2010 that said teachers supporting individuals with PMLD should get an extra 6 months training to recognise the complexity of this group. 2 hours is great, but surely more would always be desirable #otalk |
| 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 |

| 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. |

| Joanna Grace @jo3grace @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD I tweet excerpts from research that focuses on the lives of people with PMLD 3x per day #otalk drip feed a little more info |
| Nina Franziska (she/her) @ninafoxglove @MzIceqx @RCOT_PLD @OTalk_ #OTalk me too! |
| Joanna Grace @jo3grace Wonderful to hear OTs on #otalk explaining that they learn from their clients with PMLD how best to support them. https://t.co/ipD5WBXce8 |

| 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 |

| 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 |
