@OTalk_ @GillyGorry @erinnnnn14 I'm here and ready #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
Hello folks! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
No- but in the US... I am aware of a program called the College Internship program. #otalk https://t.co/BSUEB8JhKM
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@erinnnnn14 Yes- in select locations. #otalk https://t.co/1JAYoL4iz3

@erinnnnn14 Yeah- the founder of the program knows Temple Grandin. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@erinnnnn14 I heard her speak 7 years ago. Had my chances since then, but no time. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@erinnnnn14 @Lauren_OT I've always found it hard to get paid employment placements. Volunteer much easier depends on support required #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@erinnnnn14 I was lucky to hear Steven Shore speak a couple months ago at AOTA too. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@erinnnnn14 If it is from charity perspective, it is how well you fit into overall budget from program perspective. #otalk

In my exper outcome can b different. Volunteer - giving back, learning skills. Paid - sense of value, productive #otalk https://t.co/lcPUr8Mvm6
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@erinnnnn14 I know because I failed to get into a brand new charity for that reason. #otalk

@erinnnnn14 At that time, I felt the charity was still in its infancy and needed a fair bit of time to establish itself. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
I've seen some great supported employment services, job club sounds like a great idea. #otalk how do OTs get involved in services like this https://t.co/TkLbes27OX

good question. #otalk https://t.co/jP8wLuPoY2
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@erinnnnn14 From my perspective now, financial independence is helping me with leisure exploration... such as golf and traveling. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@erinnnnn14 is consideration given to the services users benefits and how working will impact these ? #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@erinnnnn14 For me, I am now on the fence of WFOT next year given how expensive it potentially is. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
Definitely all of the above... patience is a work in progress. No carryover when playing golf... lol! #otalk https://t.co/TdhHKjvsnJ
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@erinnnnn14 @Lauren_OT @OTalk_ And in our field, of course we need our own qualifications! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@jessica_swilson @erinnnnn14 Or in my quest to become an OT as a student... internships! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@jessica_swilson I say no carryover because I sometimes struggle at the common adage- one shot at a time! I think 2-3 shots in ahead sometimes. 😛 #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@jessica_swilson I also can have my meltdowns at the golf course as a result of lack of patience. 😛 #otalk

Money management is key. I am glad my parents made me financially responsible for mortgage of our second home! #otalk https://t.co/Pgr82wKpyR
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Lauren_OT @erinnnnn14 I have an OT friend with ASD. She definitely is trying her mix of paid work and her true passions in volunteering. #otalk
Sally P-H @s_v_p_h
Late to the conversation, will try and catch up #dissertation #topic #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@kerri_schOT I will take that interest rate over student loans... lol! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@kerri_schOT 3% is better than 7 or 8%... that adds up! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@erinnnnn14 @Lauren_OT I agree- that is why I value stability at my job rather than chasing top dollar at another. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@jessica_swilson Haha- I play full golf course almost every week! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@jessica_swilson Some holes for me are just beasts. Recently I played a 580 yard hole. That was long torture! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@erinnnnn14 I mean financial benefits. some services users will lose in other areas if paid. they need to have all options #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@JBOccyTherapy @erinnnnn14 @Lauren_OT In my case is flexible time off. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@JBOccyTherapy @erinnnnn14 @Lauren_OT And that is also why I proceed my romantic relationships with caution. I might not want to lose a job that fits me well. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
ive found this a big barrier for many #otalk https://t.co/u7VRlZ4VID

@RosemaryMarsh @erinnnnn14 To a point- I am working 50 hours or more a week at my job. #otalk

try to remember the tag to ensure it comes up in the feed. thanks #otalk :) https://t.co/jUxdtG3Ldw

question 4 #otalk https://t.co/YT1ypGVhIM
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@margaretOT360 @JBOccyTherapy @erinnnnn14 @Lauren_OT Say if I date someone long distance, then it may have to be- do I want to keep my career where it is now, or go for the dream girl? #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@erinnnnn14 My top answer- their strengths and limitations. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@erinnnnn14 risk assessments, reasonable adjustments, support, guidelines, activity analysis. I've done step by step instructions for some #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@erinnnnn14 My second answer is- what supports might be in place if the individuals get the jobs. #otalk
Sally P-H @s_v_p_h
Especially when its not known if the job will work out. It's a good argument for OT in preperation of employment - developing skills #OTalk https://t.co/4IK4dn9ieX
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@erinnnnn14 @RosemaryMarsh Theoretically, I work more than full time. 35 is for my job. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@erinnnnn14 @RosemaryMarsh I often get texts or calls on Fridays asking me whether I am interested to work weekends for overtime. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@erinnnnn14 @RosemaryMarsh That will be yes/no. In my job, I got asked a lot because the DOR's often take advantage of my flexibility. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@JBOccyTherapy @erinnnnn14 And the question to follow should be- how well do they fit? #otalk

Also, additional training requirements for those with LD, additional to 'mainstream' requirements unfortunately #OTalk https://t.co/DF2m5jPAvH
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Lauren_OT But sometimes failure can be used to eliminate what factors might not fit. #otalk

@Lauren_OT My failed attempt at private practice at least told me that I am more suited for a paycheck to paycheck job. #otalk

@erinnnnn14 @JBOccyTherapy As they say, beggars can't be choosers. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@erinnnnn14 @JBOccyTherapy Like when I initially started at nursing homes, I made myself fit in working in the job. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@JBOccyTherapy @erinnnnn14 True- I am glad my building manager adjusts to my needs. They are not many, but enough. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@JBOccyTherapy @erinnnnn14 Like for example, on the days I have to guest lectures, I have to change work site for the day. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
final five minutes #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@JBOccyTherapy @erinnnnn14 I think the person with LD at the end of the day is the expert of these situations. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@erinnnnn14 Use our holistic qualities to understand our service users' needs! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@erinnnnn14 @Lauren_OT For someone like me... a T-diagram works best! #otalk

@erinnnnn14 thanks for a great discussion. good job hosting! sorry I was late. #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@JBOccyTherapy @erinnnnn14 I think in my situation b4 entering nursing homes as work, my OT would have said, "you got to take the plunge, or you won't make $." #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@erinnnnn14 @OTalk_ Well done! #otalk
Sally P-H @s_v_p_h
They are, yet they are potentially entering a new environment of which they are not experienced in... they need our expertise of that #OTalk https://t.co/sPkk8LmpVN
