 | 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody #otalk g’day folks 👋🏾👋🏾 |
 | Melanie Burrough @MelanieBurrough Ready for @OTalk_ @OT_south @Childrens_Trust this evening on #assistivetechnology #EAT must remember to use the hashtag #OTalk 🤦♀️ |
 | OfficialCAHPR @OfficialCAHPR And here's the other one... #OTalk |
 | Lois Cameron @Lois_Cameron Hello #OTalk not an OT but interested in the topic so hope you are happy with a speechie joining in ! Love an OT! |
 | Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @OTalk_ Hi #OTalk |
 | Paediatric OT @OT_south @OTalk_ Hi! Welcome! who else is with us tonight? #OTalk |
 | Lucy Leonard 💙 @LucyOTL Following tonight’s chat... hi everyone 👋🏻 #OTalk |
 | will wade @willwade @OTalk_ #otalk - Hello all! 👋 |
| Melanie Burrough @MelanieBurrough @OTalk_ 🙋🏼♀️ #OTalk |
 | Lorna Wales @WalesLorna @OTalk_ @OT_south @Helen_OTUK Hi #OTalk @OT_south Look forward to an interesting evening |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Hello Amy, thank you for hosting this weeks chat! Great topic... I will let you get on with your questions... Have fun all enjoy the chat #OTalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody #otalk @baines_georgina you might want to follow this. Assistive technology chat 🙌🏾 |
 | Emma Taylor @effnol Hi all. Keen to chat as I work as an additive technologist in the private sector #OTalk |
 | Helen OTUK @Helen_OTUK @effnol yes it can be very addictive! #OTalk |
| Paediatric OT @OT_south Here we go....Question 1. What is current practice in your area? How are people identified as needing EAT (electronics assistive tech such as a single switch to turn on TV)? #OTalk |
 | Steve Wiseman @SWisemanAssocs @OTalk_ Hi! I'm Steve Wiseman, assitive technologist, tho' not an OT! #OTalk |
| Emma Taylor @effnol Or even an assistive technologist! |
 | Sharon Tuppeny @sharontuppenyot Am sure this will be a popular topic @OT_south #OTalk |
| Steve Wiseman @SWisemanAssocs @willwade @OTalk_ Hi Will! It's been a while #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @SWisemanAssocs welcome to #OTalk great to have you join us this evening |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 1.... |
| Emma Taylor @effnol I find it depends on if a clinician has an awareness of tech #otalk |
| will wade @willwade @OT_south #OTalk q1. “Local” services (Community OT, SLT, Physio, Schools, Charities) *may* identify individuals who need some kind of eAT - but not always. Problem is awareness of both whats possible - and their role (e.g. SLT/OTs being aware). The next prob is where they turn to |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @OT_south #otalk we have recently had some folks on a pilot. Sensors in homes help to monitor movement around the home. On doors, cupboards fridge. Something similar to just checking. I’ve not personally had a client with this but heard about it. |
| Melanie Burrough @MelanieBurrough @OT_south Like to start with a good ‘PEO’ approach, this leads to thinking about physical environment, access points, what occupation need, want and has to do #OTalk |
| will wade @willwade @sherlynmelody @OT_south #OTalk - is that part of a wider research program? For a particular client Group? Sounds interesting |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @effnol #otalk that’s very true. I’m late to the tech party never knew the use of Alexa till I met a lady with Parkinson who spoke to Alexa telling her to do things around the house. |
| Sharon Tuppeny @sharontuppenyot We're very lucky @Childrens_Trust to have an in house MDT for AT so assessments and use of AT during rehab & at school is growing all of the time but do find challenges in getting provision for d/c #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_south A1. Me will be geriatrics. I have occasionally seen people with such AT's in nursing home settings, but not too common. #otalk |
 | Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @OT_south I work with autistic children. I identify their EAT needs when I do the initial Interview. This may include using EAT to support communication, using apps to increase independence in ADL, etc #OTalk |
 | Jen scott @Jen0Scott @OTalk_ There's a definite lack of awareness of what is possible and what equipment is out there, so I agree I don't think it always does get identified #otalk |
| will wade @willwade @MelanieBurrough @OT_south Nice. “What” someone “wants” to do is the essence - often amazingly overlooked - in place of what is assumed they want to do #OTalk |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @OT_south Not sure if that count as EAT?? #OTalk |
| Lorna Wales @WalesLorna @OTalk_ Is it always a professional who spots the need or is it sometimes families who comes and asks? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @sherlynmelody: @OT_south #otalk we have recently had some folks on a pilot. Sensors in homes help to monitor movement around the home.… |
| Lucy Leonard 💙 @LucyOTL @OTalk_ It’s essential to find out the client/therapy goals and find which tech can best fit. But knowledge in this area is essential. Tech is changing so quickly. #otalk |
| Sharon Tuppeny @sharontuppenyot Routines based assessment can be useful to look at opportunities for integration of AT across the day as well as relating to specific goals #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Don't forget to include #OTalk folks... |
| Melanie Burrough @MelanieBurrough @willwade @OT_south And not always easy to ascertain or understand but we must try and get there when it’s not always obvious #OTalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @willwade @OT_south #otalk I guess it could help with research. As I think other countries use it more. I think it helps with reducing costs, hospital admissions, tracking people’s movements. Toilet use (UTI’s) eating or not, leaving the home. Falls- if someone is not moving around the house - why? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @sherlynmelody @OT_south I am actually keeping an eye on the latest AT, as my parents are aging. I know they don't need them yet, but they might in the future. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @sharontuppenyot: Routines based assessment can be useful to look at opportunities for integration of AT across the day as well as relat… |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @sharontuppenyot @Childrens_Trust #otalk I’m new to AT, what kind of things are you using. I have seen something called a neater water, would that be classed as AT?? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LucyOTL: @OTalk_ It’s essential to find out the client/therapy goals and find which tech can best fit. But knowledge in this area is es… |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody RT @SusanGriffiths5: @OT_south I work with autistic children. I identify their EAT needs when I do the initial Interview. This may include… |
| will wade @willwade @WalesLorna @OTalk_ Great point. Probably more often than is admitted - the family and environment supporting the individual identifying the needs. But maybe not such a bad thing - how we identify motivation is about a team effort. Partic with this client group #OTalk A1. |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @jsco100 @OTalk_ #otalk I would agree! |
| Paediatric OT @OT_south #OTalk |
| Lois Cameron @Lois_Cameron @willwade @OT_south What would help this lack of awareness of what is possible #otalk? I thought some of the stories/ examples @Comm_Matters study day on topic were really powerful but we need to extend audience This is field where people don’t know what they don’t know. |
| Sharon Tuppeny @sharontuppenyot Is low tech often over looked in your area? We do need to keep up to date but much can be achieved with familiar tech as well #OTalk |
| will wade @willwade @sherlynmelody @sharontuppenyot @Childrens_Trust Yes! #OTalk :) |
 | JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @OTalk_ Hello all! I'm a little late today. #OTalk |
| Steve Wiseman @SWisemanAssocs @OTalk_ #Otalk often it is thought of to assist communication rather than environmental control |
| Melanie Burrough @MelanieBurrough @93SophieC @OT_south Same @93SophieC we are sometimes limited by knowledge of what may be out there but also what is meaningful for the invdividual rather than thinking about latest technology on the market #OTalk |
| Jen scott @Jen0Scott @Lois_Cameron @willwade @OT_south @Comm_Matters Definitely something that needs to be included more in the undergraduate OT curriculum #otalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @SusanGriffiths5 @OT_south #otalk I think it would?! It’s an app and it helps 🤷🏾♀️ |
| Emma Taylor @effnol #otalk yes important to take an holistic approach |
| will wade @willwade @OT_south #OTalk - we at @AceCentre are heavier on a CMOP and sometimes MOHO.. Have dabbled with the river.. It kind of works but not personally a fan ;) |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @jsco100 @Lois_Cameron @willwade @OT_south @Comm_Matters or masters if you are talking about US occupational therapists' curriculum. #otalk |
| Emma Taylor @effnol Absolutely agree! What are the client goals and if appropriate tech can be a solution #otalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @WalesLorna @OTalk_ #otalk I have had a situation where family made me aware of a neater eater. I’d never heard or seen anything like it. They opened my eyes and educated me 🙌🏾 |
| Paediatric OT @OT_south @93SophieC what made that client stand out as needing AT as a priority for you @93SophieC #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @jsco100 @Lois_Cameron @willwade @OT_south @Comm_Matters and I also think more OT's should know Facebook groups such as Tech4OT or AT4OT. #otalk |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @OT_south It’s only because I’ve had an EAT placement that I’m aware I definitely think there needs to be more awareness. #OTalk |
| Lois Cameron @Lois_Cameron @MelanieBurrough @willwade @OT_south This was big theme @Comm_Matters study day Getting that right is hard & takes time particularly if needs are complex #otalk #easytoassume |
| will wade @willwade @sharontuppenyot Totally Sharon. I spend probably 20% of my time ditching the fancy stuff and going through Low-tech/Light-tech solutions - I think the same goes for my colleagues if not greater at @acecentre #OTalk |
 | Zoe Haddock @ZoeHaddock @OT_south Directly linked to participation - student, family, teacher and/or therapist may all identify opportunities for potential participation - EAT at its best can be the key to unlocking this potential! #OTalk |
| Paediatric OT @OT_south @Lois_Cameron @willwade @Comm_Matters @Lois_Cameron couldn't agree more, I certainly new nothing when I started out! #OTalk |
 | Amanda White @ajciliaOT RT @OTalk_: Have you read the blog ready for this evenings #OTalk.... @OT_south (Amy Wright) will be hosting the chat about Occupational T… |

| Lois Cameron @Lois_Cameron @jsco100 @willwade @OT_south @Comm_Matters Is it included currently ? #otalk |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @sherlynmelody @OT_south That’s my thinking! I also recommend smart watches like the wobbl watch where reminders can be set I.e. to go to the toilet, to eat, etc. Smart water bottles also great for those that need prompts to drink throughout the day #OTalk |
| Sharon Tuppeny @sharontuppenyot RT @jsco100: @Lois_Cameron @willwade @OT_south @Comm_Matters Definitely something that needs to be included more in the undergraduate OT cu… |
| Paediatric OT @OT_south Let’s move on to Q2. How do you carry out assessment and intervention? (What pathways / guidance / standards do you use?)#OTalk |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @dyspraxicot @OT_south Certainly #OTalk |
 | Ebrar K. @nomad_ebr @OTalk_ Hello, greetings from Turkey #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Don't forget to include the #OTalk or people will miss your tweet and it will not get included in the transcript... Thanks https://t.co/7zVqRRhdZ6 |
| Zoe Haddock @ZoeHaddock @OT_south @MelanieBurrough In a community setting I had scant knowledge or experience and often felt frustrated at what little I could offer. Working in a special school has been a wonderful opportunity to explore the range of EAT available - this knowledge needs to be shared though #OTalk |
| Jen scott @Jen0Scott @Lois_Cameron @willwade @OT_south @Comm_Matters Very little I think. I've offered to go out and talk at several of our local universities, but have had little interest? Maybe they're just sticking to what they know? #otalk |
| Paediatric OT @OT_south @ZoeHaddock what got you into AT @ZoeHaddock? did you hear about it as an undergrad or a chance meeting with a forward thinking OT?#OTalk |
 | Student Platform OT @SPOTeurope Us too - better together #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @willwade @Lois_Cameron @OT_south @Comm_Matters @theRCOT haha... and I will expand that to @AOTAInc, @otaust, @thewfot, @CAOT_ACE, etc. #otalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @Lois_Cameron @willwade @OT_south @Comm_Matters #otalk I think a forum like this helps, where people can share what they are using. It good to go to exhibitions too like the #OTshow |
| Emma Taylor @effnol I focus on PEO as already mentioned. Intervention is graded according to client. I am very lucky in private sector to be able to have time to do this. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @effnol: I focus on PEO as already mentioned. Intervention is graded according to client. I am very lucky in private sector to be able t… |
| Paediatric OT @OT_south @jsco100 @Lois_Cameron @willwade @Comm_Matters ☹️How can we get #AT higher on agenda and raise awareness from the beginning? #OTalk |
| Lois Cameron @Lois_Cameron @willwade @OT_south @Comm_Matters @theRCOT @BillWongOT Great idea! Maybe could be a bit of a joint promotion with @RCSLT too as a lot of overlap and common aims The communicative potential created through increasing control, independence & occupation is huge We all need to work together to get message out #OTalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @SWisemanAssocs @OTalk_ #otalk like #alexa ? |
 | Gemma Kelly @GemEKelly @OT_south hosting a fab #OTtalk- if you are interested in assistive technology get involved! |
| Melanie Burrough @MelanieBurrough @ZoeHaddock @OT_south Totally agree. @Childrens_Trust School @OT_south have taught me so much about #AT in many different situations. I wish there was more available during #OT training and post grad level #OTalk |
| Jen scott @Jen0Scott @ZoeHaddock @OT_south @MelanieBurrough Agree. Think there's lots of knowledge within special schools on this, but little in the OT community in general #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @effnol absolutely. What's the point of suggesting an expensive piece of AT for a family who barely is able to make end's meet? #otalk |
| Amanda White @ajciliaOT @OT_south #OTalk I work in acute hospital, we identify needs and can refer in to Assistive Tech community team |
| Sharon Tuppeny @sharontuppenyot not aware of those @BillWongOT , info sharing is crucial. the @RCOT_CYPF facebook page can be useful but more specific sounds useful |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @BillWongOT @jsco100 @Lois_Cameron @willwade @OT_south @Comm_Matters #otalk thanks Bill 🙌🏾 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @sharontuppenyot @RCOT_CYPF they are part of the 60+ 4OT groups that exist on Facebook. #otalk |
 | Opportune-OT @Opportune_OT @OTalk_ Oops! A little late tonight... #OTalk |
| Zoe Haddock @ZoeHaddock @OT_south Repeat tweet... In a community setting I had scant knowledge or experience and often felt frustrated at what little I could offer. Working in a special school has been a wonderful opportunity to explore the range of EAT available - this knowledge needs to be shared though #OTalk |
| will wade @willwade @BillWongOT @Lois_Cameron @OT_south @Comm_Matters @theRCOT @AOTAInc @otaust @thewfot @CAOT_ACE Aye to all of those #OTalk @atiaorlando |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @dyspraxicot @GeorgiaVineOT @OT_south #otalk yes I would be inclined to agree. |
| Sharon Tuppeny @sharontuppenyot RT @MelanieBurrough: @ZoeHaddock @OT_south Totally agree. @Childrens_Trust School @OT_south have taught me so much about #AT in many differ… |
| will wade @willwade @Lois_Cameron @OT_south @Comm_Matters @theRCOT @BillWongOT @RCSLT I really do think its needed - A Joint @RCSLT and @theRCOT white paper or something is needed #OTalk |
| Lorna Wales @WalesLorna @OT_south Is there a common agreement of pathways and assessments in the UK #OTalk |
| Steve Wiseman @SWisemanAssocs @sherlynmelody @OTalk_ yes- or a symbol/word based communication package with voice output #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_south @jsco100 @Lois_Cameron @willwade @Comm_Matters I think we need to make bigger presence in events such as @AbilitiesExpo or equivalent events across the globe. #otalk |
| Zoe Haddock @ZoeHaddock @MelanieBurrough @OT_south @Childrens_Trust There is a huge opportunity for special schools to link with universities to share this knowledge. I would have loved this input as an undergrad. Let’s make it happen!! #OTalk |
| Paediatric OT @OT_south This article helped our team consider a framework to guide decision-making. No more time wasting trial and error method! #OTalk https://t.co/NvvEnnYM13 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT FYI- This is @AOTAInc fact sheet on AT. https://t.co/mtXY0nWRQY #otalk |
| Amanda White @ajciliaOT @OT_south #OTalk we use the CMOPe as a frame work to assessment (if it fits with the patient), follow the #OT process and compete functional assessment - then move on to standardised assessments as appropriate. Is this what you mean? |
| Melanie Burrough @MelanieBurrough @OT_south We have used @thewfot position paper on #AT and also evaluated services through #AssitiveTech Standards @OT_south sorry don’t have the link to the book at hand! #OTalk |

| Student Platform OT @SPOTeurope Assistive technology #otalk |
| Melanie Burrough @MelanieBurrough @ZoeHaddock @OT_south @Childrens_Trust 👊 up for that @ZoeHaddock @OT_south #OTalk |
| Sharon Tuppeny @sharontuppenyot I agree @ZoeHaddock so often work carried by 1 or 2 in community teams when needs to be integrated into everyone's work. Assessment of barriers to participation =every OTs role, assessment of what AT can be used to help can be in consultation with colleagues #OTalk |
| Student Platform OT @SPOTeurope Amazing idea! #otalk |
| Sharon Tuppeny @sharontuppenyot RT @SPOTeurope: Assistive technology #otalk https://t.co/OiVXVW0j7A |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @dyspraxicot @sherlynmelody @OT_south I agree #OTalk |

| Zoe Haddock @ZoeHaddock @OT_south #OTalk We have used this assessment - section on environmental control technology in PMLD setting. https://t.co/LfDVVlygzw |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @SWisemanAssocs @OTalk_ #otalk I had a service user who had a tablet with various features in it. He could not talk very well so he used head movements. It was amazing. He had MS. |
| Paediatric OT @OT_south @MelanieBurrough @thewfot yes! it was @willwade that told me about this https://t.co/idqFXKmjeg Quality Indicators for AT 💡#OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ZoeHaddock @MelanieBurrough @OT_south @Childrens_Trust Perhaps it can be pitched as an attractive optional module (aka electives in the USA) for OT programs in the UK? #otalk |
| Sharon Tuppeny @sharontuppenyot RT @BillWongOT: @sharontuppenyot @RCOT_CYPF they are part of the 60+ 4OT groups that exist on Facebook. #otalk |
| Lorna Wales @WalesLorna Always a favourite #OTalk . Essential to think broadly in this area |
| Paediatric OT @OT_south Does anyone use this model? #OTalk https://t.co/lJgiINVBnu https://t.co/AD3qGqKQ24 |

| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @ZoeHaddock @OT_south #otalk hearing a lot about EAT in school setting. I wonder how easy it would be to implement into the community, bearing in mind budgets?! |
| Lucy Leonard 💙 @LucyOTL @OT_south That model looks very useful. Thanks for sharing #OTalk @effnol |
 | tish @tis7ha Going to be learning about new things tonight! #OTalk Always good to know about resources and tech that may benefit patient’s/service users. |
| Melanie Burrough @MelanieBurrough @willwade @BillWongOT @ZoeHaddock @OT_south @Childrens_Trust @oxford_brookes @Bruneluni @OTatBrunel @MellissaPrunty @DunfordCarolyn what do you think?! #OTalk |

| Jen scott @Jen0Scott @OT_south In a way, but it doesn't differ much from some of the OT models such as PEO. Just aimed more specifically at AT I think. #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @sharontuppenyot @OT_south In California in USA, actually a prime spot for this in pediatrics will be in the Los Angeles Unified School District. Otherwise, a place like Rancho Los Amigos Rehabilitation Center is not a bad idea either. #otalk |

| Paediatric OT @OT_south @ajciliaOT yes, postural assessment and other baselines provide valuable info... does this ensure all those that need EAT get it? @ajciliaOT #OTalk |
 | Rohan Slaughter @RohanSlaughter RT @OT_south: Does anyone use this model? #OTalk https://t.co/lJgiINVBnu https://t.co/AD3qGqKQ24 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @sharontuppenyot @RCOT_CYPF I think that statement is due for update, since that is already 7-8 years old! #otalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @ajciliaOT @OT_south #otalk are your raising referrals to a private company or is it all in house? |
| will wade @willwade @jsco100 @OT_south Its true - but it goes into more detail abut the AT - and its hierarchy is a little diff. If you read all the chapters of Cook & Polgar they admit its heavily based on CMOPe/PEO #OTalk - and remember AT isn’t just an OT thing |

| Paediatric OT @OT_south Sorry to move on but don’t want to run out of time for all questions! Q3. What barriers and supports are there using EAT for people with cognitive disabilities to enhance occupational performance and reduce their level of dependence on others? #OTalk |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @Lois_Cameron @TalkingMats Yes! I work with autistic children so along with PECS, I have used the talking mats using a door mat and printed symbols but recently purchased the electronic version.

| Emma Taylor @effnol In my work I find it is lack of commitment from others eg family, teachers, support workers #talk |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @OT_south Biggest barrier as mentioned by others is the cost of EAT #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_south A3. Affordability will be a crucial one. I remembered when I did a presentation on autism apps in Croatia, they told me I need to search for ones that are under $15 USD! Another one that maybe overlooked- language options. #otalk |

So far not seen much evidence of EAT in the curriculum for undergrads, a collaboration would be fab #otalk |
| Emma Taylor @effnol @OT_south In my work I find it is lack of commitment from others eg family, teachers, support workers #OTalk |
| Melanie Burrough @MelanieBurrough @OT_south Supports: seen so evidently when using #powered mobility #CYP with complex needs being free and exploring the world often independently with the right switch access. Even when you think there is no established ‘cause and effect’ #OTalk |

| Paediatric OT @OT_south Potential barriers: training, resources, outside agency waiting lists...is #AssistiveTech ever an OT service priority?does it feature in your Business Plan? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_south I say language because it can come into play in my neck of the woods. Let's say you get an immigrant family where the primary caregivers have little or no understanding of English and their native language is unavailable? How are they going to help w/ their loved ones? #otalk |
| Steve Wiseman @SWisemanAssocs @OT_south Often the lack of support to enable someone client or family member to get to learn to use the provided equipment. Equipment #gathersdustinacorner #otalk |

| Paediatric OT @OT_south @dyspraxicot do you see this when working with adults and #CYPF? is there a difference? #OTalk I have seen this also, people like to be helpful &intervene too much where AT could shift the control to the individual |
| Amanda White @ajciliaOT @OT_south #otalk I've not seen this model before - thank you for sharing |
| will wade @willwade @BillWongOT @OT_south Language - and multiple languages in a family is a problem - (NB: *Slight plug* we have https://t.co/PFLiX8Wv9F - partly dealing with this) #OTalk |
| will wade @willwade @ajciliaOT @OT_south Gary Kielhofner wouldn’t see this as a Model of course.. but lets not go there.. ;) #OTalk |
| Sharon Tuppeny @sharontuppenyot Internet connection v disrupted.. so not keeping up! Barrier - EAT isn't always quicker than being 'done to' & still may need some support, reduce dependence doesn't always equal full independence, can be harder to embed if this is the case #OTalk |
| Amanda White @ajciliaOT @OTalk_ #OTalk information on what is available in the community. Not knowing is a barrier. |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @LucyOTL @SammyRandallOT @OT_south #otalk acronyms 😩 what does this mean @SammyRandallOT |
| Lois Cameron @Lois_Cameron @effnol Is that a lack of commitment or is it sometimes a lack of understanding of family dynamics & pressures. Remember a mum complaining that the SLT wanted her to encourage #augcomm use when her child was choosing his yogurt when eye pointing was much quicker & easier #otalk |
| Sharon Tuppeny @sharontuppenyot is it in your service specification - often just in SLT if mentioned at all @OT_south #OTalk. Need to articulate the OT role |
| Paediatric OT @OT_south @willwade @TalkingMats good at establishing inital likes/dislikes/motivators but do we continue to explore and monitor this for #PMLD maybe there is an activity just around the corner that is their dream hobbie?! @TalkingMats works well with some but what about others with more complex needs? #OTalk |
| will wade @willwade @OT_south A3.. One thing we struggle with - when it comes to skill development of an access is constantly making resources. We use a lot of @InclusiveTechUK products (as well as @TobiiDynavox and @LiberatorLtd solutions) - but making motivating pages/resources takes time.. #OTalk |
| Zoe Haddock @ZoeHaddock @BillWongOT @OT_south Interestingly families often ask for advice about age appropriate AT suggestions for birthday and Christmas presents. I always think I should put together a ‘catalogue’ of ideas but never quite get around to it #OTalk |
| Amanda White @ajciliaOT @OT_south A3: #Otalk sometimes therapist not having knowledge of EAT is a barrier. |
| Paediatric OT @OT_south @willwade @InclusiveTechUK @TobiiDynavox @LiberatorLtd personalising resources takes time but worth it, better outcomes #OTalk |
| will wade @willwade @OT_south ..For @ThinkSmartbox Grid3 we recently made https://t.co/kMEbDnpIz5 - this which makes custom pages to help people assess and develop early access skills using motivating topics.. maybe of use to others! #OTalk |

| Emma Taylor @effnol @Lois_Cameron Often a combination. As @sharontuppenyot said it takes longer to use EAT as opposed to doing for #otalk Sometimes it’s about them not recognising the person is just that - a person |
| Paediatric OT @OT_south Any more ‘supports’ to mention? #OTalk |
| Paediatric OT @OT_south LAST ONE! Q.4 What needs to happen next to enable OTs to develop flexible and locally specific strategies to increase access to high quality, affordable assistive technologies for people with cognitive disabilities? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Q4. |
| Melanie Burrough @MelanieBurrough Definitely- identify the need, outcome and recommend in provision, make sure #AsstiveTech is not overlooked #SEND @CypfSbot #sbot #OTalk |
| Zoe Haddock @ZoeHaddock @effnol @OT_south Lack of commitment, lack of understanding, lack of confidence??? So many things to address - but it is a reality check... do you purchase something expensive if it’s not likely to get used no matter how great it is!? #OTalk @OT_south |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk *** 5 minute WARNInG *** In the final few minutes of the chat... What are your take away thoughts? Have you got an action list from the chat? What are you CPD goals in relation to EAT? or #OTalk https://t.co/ys2k7jNPtT |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @OT_south Like so many have said cost is a big factor. Also having the carers on board to allow time for the EAT to be learnt and practiced #OTalk |
| Paediatric OT @OT_south Next steps...Scoping project-plot what is currently happening in UK? Guidelines? #OTalk |
| Lois Cameron @Lois_Cameron @OT_south @willwade @TalkingMats TM requires symbolic understanding so won’t work for all but could it be used as a way of having an effective conversation to get perspectives with the team around the person ? These perspectives freq. differ & capturing views visually enables people to see differ views #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_south first half of the question- we should be on the forefront in designing the apps or assistive technology that can help our patients! We should either be on design teams or be the person in charge of the overall design. second half- we should be better community partners. #otalk |
| Jen scott @Jen0Scott @OT_south One barrier being that many individuals with significant cognitive disabilities don't fall in spec for many EAT services #otalk |
| Lucy Leonard 💙 @LucyOTL @OT_south Knowledge has to be across all clinical areas so health professionals know when to refer on. I wonder how many people are our there that would benefit from EAT #OTalk |
| Paediatric OT @OT_south Next steps...raising awareness? Training Days? #OTalk |
| Sharon Tuppeny @sharontuppenyot potential for facilitating play with more than just switch activated toys - maybe an app similar to CP toys @ZoeHaddock @OT_south #OTalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @OT_south #otalk, money, knowledge, skills, clinical reasoning 🤷🏾♀️ more evidence based practice - Pilots with the support of companies that have this equipment - maybe?! |

| Amanda White @ajciliaOT @OT_south A4 #OTalk I wish I knew! But would like to hear what others have to say. |
| will wade @willwade @OT_south #Otalk A5. Thats tough. I do think @AT_APPG in the UK is leading to some solutions on this - but it does need more parties getting on board to figure the answer out (hint hint @theRCOT @RCSLT @NHSEngland and others.. ) |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @ZoeHaddock @OT_south #otalk client centred practice, with carer support, surely that would mean it would be used?! |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @OT_south Totally agree! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @dyspraxicot @OT_south on mandatory lectures- maybe you should get in the running in determining the curriculum standards at the national level in the UK... ala USA in ACOTE. #otalk |
| Zoe Haddock @ZoeHaddock @sharontuppenyot @OT_south Absolutely - this would be great. I have tried CP toys but it doesn’t cover the older age range (it’s been a while since I checked)? #OTalk @OT_south |
| Jen scott @Jen0Scott @OT_south Incorporating more EAT awareness raising on all levels: universities, conferences etc. The need is to target those that don't know that they don't know. Not those with an interest in AT already! #otalk |
| Melanie Burrough @MelanieBurrough @OT_south @keenCOTA have suggested affordable solutions using infrared technologies. Also linked with @MERUcharity to switch adapt everyday toys/ utensils #OTalk |
| Paediatric OT @OT_south @BillWongOT i agree, we're trying to do more work with designers / product developers @NIHRBrainMIC #OTalk |
| Lucy Leonard 💙 @LucyOTL @dyspraxicot @OT_south Universities could access specialist practitioners to speak with undergraduates. Great idea #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Well that is the 'official hour' up! Thank you to @OT_south for hosting this evenings chat.... Please feel free to carry on chatting, the transcript will not be collated for at least 24hrs... so please do keep adding thoughts. Great topic and lots to think about. |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @BillWongOT @OT_south I think this is going to start happening more in the future. I know Microsoft already employs an OT. #otalk |
 | Carolina C 🏳️🌈 @colourful_ot @OTalk_ I found the chat really interesting even though I didn't have a lot to contribute based on my current role; I'd like to look more into apps (e.g. reminder apps for helping with executive dysfunction) but would have to see what the people I work with actually want first 😊 #OTalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @LucyOTL @dyspraxicot @OT_south #otalk the graduates would have the knowledge, but would they be given the opportunity to implement this into their service? |
| Lois Cameron @Lois_Cameron @OTalk_ @OT_south Thanks for expert curating and letting me join in #otalk |
| Steve Wiseman @SWisemanAssocs @OT_south Something around raising awareness of how off the shelf mainstream tech e.g. #Alexa can be used by those with special needs #otalk |
| Sharon Tuppeny @sharontuppenyot it is younger and different approach needed for AT but example of using apps to show range of solutions and possibilities @ZoeHaddock @OT_south #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @dyspraxicot @OT_south Maybe you should go to RCOT more often to network with the big wigs so that you know the in's on how to get involved. #otalk |
| Lorna Wales @WalesLorna @OTalk_ @OT_south Thanks @OT_south . Great chat and some good ideas to keep sharing #OTalk |

| Zoe Haddock @ZoeHaddock @sherlynmelody @OT_south Unfortunately I have seen many a piece of EAT gathering dust for various reasons. Would’ve great to pioneer a way to re-use, re-purpose AT not being used! #OTalk @OT_south |
| will wade @willwade @LucyOTL @dyspraxicot @OT_south This is sparking a lot of thoughts in my head .. I wonder if we (https://t.co/at11vLk4MA) should co-ordinate something with @theRCOT @RCOT_CYPF - for people willing to do this - and do a white paper on the role of eAT in OT.. #OTAlk |
| Lucy Leonard 💙 @LucyOTL @sherlynmelody @dyspraxicot @OT_south I think it’s important to get the graduates thinking about EAT no matter which area they move into. We can drive change through knowledge and passion! #Otalk |
| Melanie Burrough @MelanieBurrough @willwade @OT_south @AT_APPG @theRCOT @RCSLT @NHSEngland Area of involvement for @RCOT_CYPF and how about an #AT clinical forum @OT_south @ZoeHaddock @PTerrer @e8Muffin #OTalk |

| will wade @willwade @MelanieBurrough @OT_south @AT_APPG @theRCOT @RCSLT @NHSEngland @RCOT_CYPF @ZoeHaddock @PTerrer @e8Muffin One thing that will help this.. Is Anneke’s research paper on the role of OT in AAC - its not all of AT but it will help (Watch this space. Fingers crossed.. ) #OTalk |

| Lucy Leonard 💙 @LucyOTL @willwade @dyspraxicot @OT_south @theRCOT @RCOT_CYPF Undergraduates are often keen and willing to move into ‘non traditional’ roles so education around this would be a great place to start. #otalk |

 | RosieOT @RTH00170813 @OT_south Currently involved in a project providing EAT to adults with a learning disability. Some issues i find are initial/ongoing cost; lack of knowledge of OTs/MDT and family members; concerns that the person or family may not have the problem solving skills if the tech fails #OTalk |

| RosieOT @RTH00170813 @OT_south Supports-Family/carers/professionals being on board to help implement the EAT intervention and support the service user to use/engage, so it becomes routine. #OTalk |
| RosieOT @RTH00170813 @sherlynmelody @OT_south Agree with more evidence base. In my search for EBP in relation to EAT with people with LD I found very little which wasn't of the telecare/Tunstall variety. #OTalk |
