Don’t forget the hashtag #otalk
@OccScienceBae
@orlatheot Kehinde Wiley is my favorite portrait artist. He challenges the “traditions” of portrait painting. He’s most famous for his portrait of President Barack Obama. I love the idea of breaking tradition in science and practice, because one size doesn’t not fit most. #OTalk

#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk
@OccScienceBae
@OTalk_ Art is about perspective. Using creative arts as a therapeutic tool provides perspective of the clients needs, concerns, strengths, etc., as well as language to communicate during the therapeutic process. It’s use is well-documented in psychology literature. #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
SO some of you are FORGETTING!!!! Dont forget to include those #OTalk hashtags in ALL you tweets. https://t.co/8Ul5neAQLT
Orla @orlatheot
Yes! Playing music together, for example, I have found can start to build a therapeutic relationship #otalk
@louise_mcmann
@OTalk_ I'm very interested to hear everyone's thoughts as would like to introduce this more in my place of work (integrated care at home for older adults). Would love to see it being utilised to engage people and reduce social isolation. #OTalk
@OccScienceBae
@OTalk_ Having said that, I do find it hard to translate that into language suitable for reimbursement under OT in the USA. #OTalk
Orla @orlatheot
[REDACTED USER] Yes, I was moved to tears when I saw it live #otalk

@OccScienceBae
@orlatheot I’ve observed therapists use creative arts to engage individuals with intellectual disability in a behavioral crisis. #OTalk I’ve used it in practice with individuals who are nonverbal and do not have alternative communication devices create their own “communication tablets.”

#OTalk Question 5: Do you think #occupationaltherapy and the creative arts is evidence-based practice? Link any resources and research you’ve read around the topic. https://t.co/lyUDgEgMLN
