 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Hello folks! #otalk |
 | OfficialCAHPR @OfficialCAHPR And here's the other one... #OTalk |
 | will wade @willwade @OTalk_ #otalk - Hello all! 👋 |
| #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 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @SWisemanAssocs welcome to #OTalk great to have you join us this evening |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 1.... |
| will wade @willwade [REDACTED USER] #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 |
| will wade @willwade [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] #OTalk - is that part of a wider research program? For a particular client Group? Sounds interesting |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] A1. Me will be geriatrics. I have occasionally seen people with such AT's in nursing home settings, but not too common. #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 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Nice. “What” someone “wants” to do is the essence - often amazingly overlooked - in place of what is assumed they want to do #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Don't forget to include #OTalk folks... |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] 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 |
| will wade @willwade [REDACTED USER] @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. |
| will wade @willwade [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Yes! #OTalk :) |
| Jen scott @Jen0Scott [REDACTED USER] @willwade [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Definitely something that needs to be included more in the undergraduate OT curriculum #otalk |
| will wade @willwade [REDACTED USER] #OTalk - we at [REDACTED USER] 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 [REDACTED USER] @willwade [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] or masters if you are talking about US occupational therapists' curriculum. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @jsco100 [REDACTED USER] @willwade [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] and I also think more OT's should know Facebook groups such as Tech4OT or AT4OT. #otalk |
| will wade @willwade [REDACTED USER] 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 [REDACTED USER] #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 |
| Jen scott @Jen0Scott [REDACTED USER] @willwade [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] 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 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @willwade [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] haha... and I will expand that to @AOTAInc, [REDACTED USER], @thewfot, [REDACTED USER], etc. #otalk |
| Jen scott @Jen0Scott [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] 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 [REDACTED USER] 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 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] they are part of the 60+ 4OT groups that exist on Facebook. #otalk |
| will wade @willwade @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @AOTAInc [REDACTED USER] @thewfot [REDACTED USER] Aye to all of those #OTalk @atiaorlando |
| will wade @willwade [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] I really do think its needed - A Joint [REDACTED USER] and [REDACTED USER] white paper or something is needed #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @jsco100 [REDACTED USER] @willwade [REDACTED USER] I think we need to make bigger presence in events such as [REDACTED USER] or equivalent events across the globe. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT FYI- This is @AOTAInc fact sheet on AT. https://t.co/mtXY0nWRQY #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Q2. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT And this is AOTA's position paper on AT. https://t.co/arL7onf33j #otalk |
| will wade @willwade @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] This. #OTalk - This is the key - to [REDACTED USER] question about how we do the assessment - its about what people can support - and need. Not just the latest fancy thing |
| will wade @willwade [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Nope. Well, if there is, I’ve missed it #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @willwade [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I learned about this when I was speaking to Croatian OT's 5 years ago. :) #otalk |
| will wade @willwade [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] You should see the Outputs of https://t.co/USRgRZIpJ0 [REDACTED USER] :) #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Perhaps it can be pitched as an attractive optional module (aka electives in the USA) for OT programs in the UK? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT And I found CAOT's position statement on assistive technology too. https://t.co/b9xrlRP2Qu #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] and sometimes we need to include families too... since they ultimately will be ones deciding on which they can afford. #otalk |
| will wade @willwade [REDACTED USER] Yes - we use it extensively on our Undergrad and Postgrad Programmes for Assistive Technology - Our students love a HAAT Model https://t.co/La1o9gV9J1 #OTalk |
| Jen scott @Jen0Scott [REDACTED USER] 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 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] 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 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I think that statement is due for update, since that is already 7-8 years old! #otalk |
| will wade @willwade @jsco100 [REDACTED USER] 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 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Q3. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] 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 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don't forget folks we don't update the blog with the transcript for 24hrs so you can revisit and add comments... continue the discussion and it will still be included. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] 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 |
| will wade @willwade [REDACTED USER] A3. #OTalk Cog disabilities is a really big area needing more research, assessment tools and support. We do use [REDACTED USER] extensively - particularly with adults - but do lean on a wealth of “research” around best practice |
| will wade @willwade @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] 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 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Gary Kielhofner wouldn’t see this as a Model of course.. but lets not go there.. ;) #OTalk |
| will wade @willwade [REDACTED USER] A3.. One thing we struggle with - when it comes to skill development of an access is constantly making resources. We use a lot of [REDACTED USER] products (as well as @TobiiDynavox and [REDACTED USER] solutions) - but making motivating pages/resources takes time.. #OTalk |
| will wade @willwade [REDACTED USER] ..For [REDACTED USER] 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 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Q4. |
| #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 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] 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 [REDACTED USER] One barrier being that many individuals with significant cognitive disabilities don't fall in spec for many EAT services #otalk |
| will wade @willwade [REDACTED USER] #Otalk A5. Thats tough. I do think [REDACTED USER] 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 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] and others.. ) |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @dyspraxicot [REDACTED USER] 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 |
| Jen scott @Jen0Scott [REDACTED USER] 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 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Well that is the 'official hour' up! Thank you to [REDACTED USER] 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. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @dyspraxicot [REDACTED USER] 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 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk 21st Jan 2020 – What is Professional Identity? https://t.co/31UZZ9xtmk |
| will wade @willwade @LucyOTL @dyspraxicot [REDACTED USER] This is sparking a lot of thoughts in my head .. I wonder if we (https://t.co/at11vLk4MA) should co-ordinate something with [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] - for people willing to do this - and do a white paper on the role of eAT in OT.. #OTAlk |
| @smileyfacehalo RT @OTalk_: #OTalk 21st Jan 2020 – What is Professional Identity? https://t.co/31UZZ9xtmk | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk thanks for a great chat folks... It has been a blast as always. [REDACTED USER] signing off the account now and off for a fizzy pop! |
| will wade @willwade [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] 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 |
| will wade @willwade [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Yes. Well done! 👏 now go and have a glass of 🍷or similar [REDACTED USER]! #OTalk :) |
