@OTalk_ #OTalk that’s a tough opening question. Hard to narrow it down. I’m almost a second year MSc OT student. Edward Hopper’s paintings of the sea and shore

@orlatheot Kehinde Wiley is my favorite portrait artist. He challenges the β€œtraditions” 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

Khalilah R. Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @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 @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

@OTalk_ Being creative initiates a different cognitive process than alot if interventions which involve just processing instructions. #OTalk

@OTalk_ There is no right or wrong, it is meaningful, is it good for you, and its just nice. Its nice to work on creative things, instead of always being focused on function, and independence. Sometimes its nice to just be #OTalk

@ciderwithsophie @OT_rach #OTalk as a non arty OT student. I am loving the process of exploring creative therapies, it’s not a competition!

@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 β€œcommunication tablets.”
