| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD Good evening & welcome to out #otalk on #iamchallengbehaviour and occupational therapy. First question. 1.Why do we use language with the people we work with that we would not use to our loved ones? @SamSly2 @OTalk_ |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts I think we get swept up with the medical language and culture #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 1..... Go |
 | Carolina C 🏳️🌈 @colourful_ot @OTalk_ @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 Hi! 😊 #OTalk |
| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD RT @OTthoughts: I think we get swept up with the medical language and culture #OTalk |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD It’s not intentional because when we stop and reflect on our language (which doesn’t happen much) we know it’s not right! #otalk |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts RT @OTalk_: #OTalk Question 1..... Go |
| Jade @JadeH_OT @RCOT_PLD I do not have OT experience in this but am a carer- could you argue we have become used to these terms as often these individuals we work with see many of the MDT, and we feel as though we must seem more ‘technical’? Trying to word right but can’t find the words! #Otalk |
| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD #otalk |
 | Leo Keller @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD Good evening #OTalk. Good question. Probably because we don't treat our clients like we treat our loved ones. It is too easy for humans to become 'cases' when absorbed in a clinical system. |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD I’m trying to think if it’s something we learnt in collage but it’s been too long! Maybe we need ask the OT students #OTalk |

 | Lauren @Lauren_OT @RCOT_PLD I think it’s almost institutionalisation of staff which depends on the team you work with and the culture of that team. #OTalk |

 | Rachel OT @_rachelOT @OTalk_ @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 Hello #otalk 🙃 |
| Jade @JadeH_OT @OTthoughts @SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD I’m a 3rd year student ☺️- I have to admit, it hasn’t come up at all! I have previous experience as a carer but it doesn’t seem to be on the curriculum! #Otalk |

| Leo Keller @LeoKellerOT @OTalk_ I try to avoid this language/phrase as much as possible. Sometimes it just slips out of my mouth though and that's usually when I've lost sight of the individual. Particularly challenging when colleagues are using that language around you at all times. #OTalk |
 | Moira Scanlon @moira_scanlon @SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD Is it that the formality gives some credibility for the work place? #OTalk |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD I really agree. And sometimes we refer clients as cases...why do we do this? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD And I know on the other end... sometimes my friends need to say what they want to say to me. They do so out of care and love. Even those words can be hard to take, it is important to hear them rather than the sugar coated ones. #otalk |
 | Laura Cliff @laurafcliff @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 @OTalk_ I think it's maybe we like to diagnose/explain why something is happening=label and categorise=not always helpful #Otalk |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts RT @JadeH_OT: @OTthoughts @SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD I’m a 3rd year student ☺️- I have to admit, it hasn’t come up at all! I have previous experience as a carer but it doesn’t seem to be on the curriculum! #Otalk |
| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD great thoughts and reflections, keep them coming #OTalk |
| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD RT @laurafcliff: @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 @OTalk_ I think it's maybe we like to diagnose/explain why something is happening=label and categorise=not always helpful #Otalk |

| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD That’s so true! People with LD are not ill but they are in a medical model when in the NHS #Otalk This doesn’t make it right and it’s good to challenge. |
 | Helen OTUK @Helen_OTUK @BillWongOT @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD Does this influence the language you use in your work place Bill? #OTalk |
| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD RT @moira_scanlon: @SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD Is it that the formality gives some credibility for the work place? #OTalk |
 | Hannah Silcock @Scrumpess @SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD I think the language becomes 2nd nature to us because of the professional conversations we have daily and our note writing... sometimes we go in to auto pilot and forget it isn't everyone's language when with clients and we need to take a step back #otalk |
| Lauren @Lauren_OT @RCOT_PLD Some of it may be to do with professional background and technical jargon that is used by other members of the team e.g. Doctor which then pulls through and becomes part of a shared language within the team. #OTalk |
 | Chloe Vincett @ChloeVincett Hi I’m here but multitasking- may disappear occasionally #otalk Q1. I do think colleagues are a big one for language used. When you start in a team picking up the lingo is part of fitting into the role and so language can go unchallenged for enervation of new staff |

| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD Great responses, 2nd question #otalk @samsly2 2.What are the ‘behaviours’ that stop people with LD and MH getting good lives? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Helen_OTUK @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD In terms of meeting other colleagues with LD, I will ask them what they want to hear first- a blunt honest version, or more of a sandwich approach version. #otalk |

| Leo Keller @LeoKellerOT @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD To absolve ourselves of recognisable responsibility? It's easier to let down a 'case' than it is a person. Perhaps using the language that creates distance makes it easier when we can't provide the support we would like??? #OTalk |
| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD RT @BillWongOT: @Helen_OTUK @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD In terms of meeting other colleagues with LD, I will ask them what they want to hear first- a blunt honest version, or more of a sandwich approach version. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 2 go....... |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @SamSly2 @JadeH_OT @RCOT_PLD Also agree with people with all neurodiverse diagnosis as well as people with learning disabilities #otalk |
| Jade @JadeH_OT @SamSly2 @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD Totally agree! #OTalk |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts RT @OTalk_: #OTalk Question 2 go....... |
| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD RT @OTthoughts: @SamSly2 @JadeH_OT @RCOT_PLD Also agree with people with all neurodiverse diagnosis as well as people with learning disabilities #otalk |
| Leo Keller @LeoKellerOT @ChloeVincett which means we also have power to influence our colleagues positively #OTalk |
| Hannah Silcock @Scrumpess @RCOT_PLD I wonder if physical environment has any impact on this also subconciously... for instance, my mindset when I put on a uniform and walk in to work can be very different to that when I am at home in comfy clothes with friends and family.... #otalk |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD I agree with this. #otalk creating a distance is sometimes needed when we can’t offer what we want to offer / do because of service demands #OTalk |
 | Phil King @philking53 @RCOT_PLD #otalk I think it can be a work/professional head / family head distinction. Also a habitualised workplace thing, I often try really hard to be mindful of the language I'm using but sometimes slip into the language of the wider team (briefly)! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 As an autistic individual who is also an OT... here are what I am dealing with- 1. Perfectionism 2. Social communication/relationship building skills 3. Stubbornness (occasionally) #otalk |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @AngelynJEaston @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 Really agree with this. Just yesterday an individual refer to themselves in their initials because that’s how everything is written down in the hospital #OTalk |

 | Angelyn Easton @AngelynJEaston @OTalk_ @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 Hi! Already forgot to include #OTalk in reply 🙄 |

| Leo Keller @LeoKellerOT @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD So you think creating distance is a positive thing? #Otalk |
| Jade @JadeH_OT @SamSly2 @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD I also feel more confident now, to go forward as an occupational therapist and ensure I enable this to happen! As an 18yo I was a little more agreeable and inexperienced. As my experience has grown so has my confidence to support the individuals and challenge things #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @CelinaOTstudent @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 Welcome, don't forget to include #OTalk in all your tweets. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OTthoughts: @SamSly2 @JadeH_OT @RCOT_PLD Also agree with people with all neurodiverse diagnosis as well as people with learning disabilities #otalk |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD No. I don’t. But sometimes I think the systems is created to do this and the system thinks it’s positive! #otalk. Does that make sense? |
| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD RT @JadeH_OT: @SamSly2 @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD I also feel more confident now, to go forward as an occupational therapist and ensure I enable this to happen!

| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @JadeH_OT @SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD This is great to hear Jade #OTalk |
| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD RT @RCOT_PLD: Great responses, 2nd question #otalk @samsly2 2.What are the ‘behaviours’ that stop people with LD and MH getting good lives? |
| Jade @JadeH_OT @HelenJusticeOT @Lauren_OT @RCOT_PLD Interesting thought! #Otalk |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts RT @BillWongOT: @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 As an autistic individual who is also an OT... here are what I am dealing with- 1. Perfectionism 2. Social communication/relationship building skills 3. Stubbornness (occasionally) #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTthoughts @SamSly2 @JadeH_OT @RCOT_PLD That is why I am sharing my challenges today in our discussions. Although I am now a competent OT, issues still remain... and people working with me have to adjust to such. #otalk |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts RT @Scrumpess: @RCOT_PLD I wonder if physical environment has any impact on this also subconciously... for instance, my mindset when I put on a uniform and walk in to work can be very different to that when I am at home in comfy clothes with friends and family.... #otalk |

| Leo Keller @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 Q2: I find the 'behaviours' that stop people with LD & MH getting good lives is usually the behaviours/attitudes of others, including those supporting them. But also, withdrawing, disengaging, becoming highly distressed or agitated, causing harm to self or others... #OTalk |
| Angelyn Easton @AngelynJEaston @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 Yes similarly #OTalk I’ve seen personal discussions about clients in front of other clients justified that only initials were used! as though our clients couldn’t crack the complex code! |
 | bob collins @bobcollinsOT #otalk hi all. Been a while! Just lurking! |
 | CelinaOTstudent @CelinaOTstudent @BillWongOT @Helen_OTUK @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD Can't be fairer than that #otalk |

| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD Q3 .How can we rid ourselves of ‘serviceland’? #otalk @samsly2 |
 | Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 Hello @OTalk_ #OTalk, I won’t lie... Im struggling to keep up because I’m watching the #BakeOff 🤭 |
| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD RT @Scrumpess: @RCOT_PLD I wonder if physical environment has any impact on this also subconciously... for instance, my mindset when I put on a uniform and walk in to work can be very different to that when I am at home in comfy clothes with friends and family.... #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 And sometimes these behaviors for me- I had no idea I was doing that to people! I really have learned a lot about myself since I got my TEDx event license because I have to work w/ ppl who don’t know me well. #otalk |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @AngelynJEaston @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 Still happening. The clients write down the minutes for the morning meeting and instead of writing their names they write heir initials. Everyone knows the initials. I keep asking...why don’t we just call the clients by their names! #otalk |

| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @SophieMaynard8 @OTalk_ Best message! Thanks for being with us. I’m in the pub and tweeting!! #otalk |
| Jade @JadeH_OT @SamSly2 @SophieMaynard8 @RCOT_PLD @OTthoughts For sure I do now! But I’m a ‘mature’ student 👩🎓 so had a fair few years care experience now! But when I was new to care I remember just learning from the individuals and other carers and trying to figure out what’s best for them, as everyone is different 🤗☺️#Otalk |
| Leo Keller @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 #OTalk. Think. Talk about it. Role model different use of language. Don't loose sight of who the priority is. |
| Jade @JadeH_OT @OTthoughts @SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD Thank you Hayley ☺️#Otalk |
| Phil King @philking53 @OTthoughts @LeoKellerOT @ChloeVincett @SamSly2 I think people at work now know when I'm going to step in and say "hash tag"! 🤣 On s serious note, I think it is starting to make people reflect on the language / mindset they are using #otalk |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @HelenJusticeOT @Lauren_OT @RCOT_PLD A lot of pressure to be professional in the notes etc transferring over to how we talk to to patients/clients #OTalk |

| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD It’s not helpful. Maybe I need to keep questioning this in my clincial practice #OTalk |

| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @vicki_OT2018 @OTalk_ @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 Hello!! Waving back 👋 #OTalk |
| Leo Keller @LeoKellerOT @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD Never stop questioning your clinical practice! ;) #OTalk |
| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD RT @OTthoughts: @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD It’s not helpful. Maybe I need to keep questioning this in my clincial practice #OTalk |
| Hannah Silcock @Scrumpess @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 Highlight to our colleagues when we are doing it also... create an open environment so people highlight it in each others work. The more aware we are of it... the more we will recognise it in ourselves #otalk |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD For many years I’ve get annoyed about professionals saying ‘placement’ not ‘home’. I get really angry with myself when I do it in meetings #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD Here is a thing unique to me- I fell into a success trap recently because of too much empowerment. Good friends might need to tell me, “You are gambling a lot! You need to stop and evaluate what you are thinking of. If you need someone to confide to, talk to me.” #otalk |
| Laura Cliff @laurafcliff @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 Being person centred, understanding why the person is acting the way they are, don't label a behaviour as to the individual it may be the way they cope/the only way they know how to react. #OTalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 3..... |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD Agreed agreed agreed! 😃👍 #OTalk |
| Carolina C 🏳️🌈 @colourful_ot @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 Reminds me of a recent Twitter thread - it's usually not "behaviours" getting in the way of good lives but the stress that leads to those behaviours happening #OTalk https://t.co/Io5yhgud3B |
| Leo Keller @LeoKellerOT @SophieMaynard8 @HelenJusticeOT @Lauren_OT @RCOT_PLD If we have to use language that stigmatises and damages the very people we're supposed to be supporting to be 'professional' than we are doing something very wrong. #Otalk |
| Angelyn Easton @AngelynJEaston @SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD @gracecollinsOT @OTalk_ Perhaps we feel more judged by others, or are worried about being too informal? Silly but I have definitely seen others judged for appearing too informal with clients #OTalk |

| Hannah Silcock @Scrumpess @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 At the beginning of each session or discussion, set the ground rules that if you say anything that they don't understand to make sure they tell you... give them permission to tell you when your language is too confusing 'serviceland' #otalk |

 | MeganOT @megocctherapy @SamSly2 @OTalk_ From a students viewpoint... I often feel like I should be using more OT specific language to promote and raise awareness of our profession. However, I’m also aware if colleagues aren’t familiar with this jargon, it can cause confusion and miscommunication. #OTalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @colourful_ot: @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 Reminds me of a recent Twitter thread - it's usually not "behaviours" getting in the way of good lives but the stress that leads to those behaviours happening #OTalk https://t.co/Io5yhgud3B |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @LeoKellerOT @HelenJusticeOT @Lauren_OT @RCOT_PLD I wouldn’t use language that stigmatises people, I was more referring to OT or medical ‘jargon’ that might not be the individuals everyday language #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @laurafcliff @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 For someone like me, be understanding that I need to occasionally rephrase what people say.

| Carolina C 🏳️🌈 @colourful_ot @CorfieldOt @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 My understanding is that it's a term used to describe the culture of health/social care services where clients and their lives are talked about and thought about in a particular way that isn't how we talk about people outside of services #OTalk |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts Still in some CPA meetings I’ve had to stop professionals to ask them what they mean - if I don’t know, how would a client or a client family know what is being talked about #OTalk |

| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @LeoKellerOT @HelenJusticeOT @Lauren_OT @RCOT_PLD Yes I hate the use of challenging behaviour. Also terms used to describe personality disorder “traits” or behaviour.

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Helen_OTUK @SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD Rather than keep on saying that “you can do it”... sometimes it is good idea to have honest conversation and not be afraid to say, “I only say this because I care about you as a friend.

| grace collins @gracecollinsOT RT @LeoKellerOT: @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 Q2: @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 Q2: I find the 'behaviours' that stop people with LD & MH getting good lives is usually the behaviours/attitudes of others, including those supporting them. But also, withdrawing, disengaging, becoming highly distressed or agitated, causing harm to self or others... #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Helen_OTUK @SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD Like my building manager have asked me about being a director of rehab several times, I politely turned down because I didn’t feel the role is a good fit for my strengths and weaknesses. #otalk |
| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD Q4. So what behaviour are you going to challenge after tonight? #otalk @SamSly2 |
| KatieCorfieldOT @CorfieldOt @OTalk_ I think the best way is to be ourselves but remember to have a professional manner, but not too professional that it’s off-putting and intimidating... be nice!!! #otalk |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts RT @AngelynJEaston: @SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD @gracecollinsOT @OTalk_ Perhaps we feel more judged by others, or are worried about being too informal? Silly but I have definitely seen others judged for appearing too informal with clients #OTalk |

| CelinaOTstudent @CelinaOTstudent @RCOT_PLD As a 1st year OT student, when you start learning different terms/language, you want to sound 'professional and knowledgable'.

| Leo Keller @LeoKellerOT @CelinaOTstudent @RCOT_PLD You have the benefit of not being numb to negative cultures. You are in the ideal place to challenge things. If directly challenging people is scary at first, you can role model by just doing things better yourself. #OTalk |

| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 I’m going to continue to question my practice because when I think ‘that’s not right’. And stop clients referring themselves as an initial - it’s institutionalised and wrong. And like @SamSly2 it’s heartbreaking #OTalk |

| Carolina C 🏳️🌈 @colourful_ot @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 For me, a barrier to challenging things is being a student and being scared to contradict the people who are grading me 😬 But my next placement is in intellectual disability so I'm sure I'll have opportunities to question the term "challenging behaviour"! #OTalk |

| Carolina C 🏳️🌈 @colourful_ot @SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD True! It's interesting actually, I'm doing historical research on OT practice education at the moment and it seems like being uncomfortable speaking up about things you disagree with on placement is a problem that's been around for decades #OTalk |

| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @cathymc9781 @LeoKellerOT Could t agree with you more. I know we are coming to the end of our talk, but this reminds me of when I see in notes - aggressive behaviour as throw a chair in 1987 #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @cathymc9781: @LeoKellerOT #OTalk people can become labelled with things too easily... |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts RT @OTalk_: Final 5 mins of the chat folks, what are your takeaways from the chat? #OTalk https://t.co/h9NkImkRtU |
| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD RT @AngelynJEaston: @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD @CelinaOTstudent It would be a fantastic opportunity for a workplace study of language! Maybe I’ll encourage future students to keep a bit of a record for us to review! #OTalk |
| Angelyn Easton @AngelynJEaston @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 I’m going to make my clients aware of #Iamchallengingbehaviour so they know it’s okay to challenge our language! #OTalk |
| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD RT @LeoKellerOT: @AngelynJEaston @RCOT_PLD @CelinaOTstudent Good idea. I love having fresh eyes, especially those that voice their observations, to notice the negative aspects of culture that I've become numb too and apart of. #OTalk |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts Thank you @SamSly2 for this discussion tonight and our inspiring talk at the #rcot2018 conference #otalk so valuable for our practice |
| Helen OTUK @Helen_OTUK Love it! #OTalk |

| Chloe Vincett @ChloeVincett @OTthoughts @cathymc9781 @LeoKellerOT I saw in someone’s notes recently- suffers with autism- made my blood boil and reminded me how far we still have to go #OTalk |

| Leo Keller @LeoKellerOT @philking53 Yes. It sounds odd if you were talking about a friend, eh? "My uncle Bob 'accesses the community'/'has leave' 5 x weekly to go to work"... hmm #OTalk |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @AngelynJEaston @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 I ❤️ this #OTalk |

| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts RT @LeoKellerOT: A few terms have been mentioned today that are 'professional' but not particularly friendly (including "challenging behaviour", "placement", "traits" and "mobilising"), what others are out there? Chance for me to check my own language... #OTalk |
| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD great discussions thank you. #otalk @SamSly2 |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @ChloeVincett @cathymc9781 @LeoKellerOT Gosh - I haven’t seen this. That would make your blood boil #otalk |
| Helen OTUK @Helen_OTUK @OTthoughts @ChloeVincett @cathymc9781 @LeoKellerOT important to identify if this is how the person would describe it? #OTalk |
| Carolina C 🏳️🌈 @colourful_ot @LeoKellerOT I think they're both a bit vague, like they could describe different behaviours that need to be addressed differently - might be better to refer to the behaviour in terms of its cause, like calling something a stress response instead of calling it challenging/concerning #OTalk |
| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD Thank you #otalk , @SamSly2 @OTthoughts and all for a great discussion. Lots to take forward and challenge |
| Phil King @philking53 @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 I'll continue to 'challenge' both my own and my colleagues 'challenging behaviour' but love @AngelynJEaston idea of sharing the campaign with the individuals I support! Let's educate all 👍 #otalk |
| Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts @ChloeVincett @cathymc9781 @LeoKellerOT Be interesting to do notes audit on the language used in notes. Maybe get someone with an LD / Autism to do the audit. #otalk @SamSly2 |

| Leo Keller @LeoKellerOT @colourful_ot Yes I agree. I'm not sure whether these terms fulfil any useful purpose. I rarely find it hard to find an alternative way of describing a situation or person without those terms. #OTalk |
| Catherine McNulty (pronouns she/her) @cathymc9781 @RCOT_PLD Maybe language provides a shield to sit behind.... using everyday language to put across the complexity of any given a real skill and further adapting to any given situation.... we can always improve with knowledge skills and years of practice #OTalk |
| Phil King @philking53 @LeoKellerOT Unfortunately often a legacy of inpatient / hospital settings that is embedded not only in staff but unfortunately the individuals themselves! #otalk |
| CelinaOTstudent @CelinaOTstudent @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 To encourage 'challenge', it doesn't always have to be aggressive as it sounds, it's just reflecting on something specific. Whilst my OT journey is very early days I pledge to reflect on my communication and encourage others to do the same 🙂 #otalk |

| Leo Keller @LeoKellerOT @philking53 Yes. It breaks my heart to hear some of the people I work with use institutional language about themselves that they've picked up over many years across a range of services. #OTalk |

| Carolina C 🏳️🌈 @colourful_ot @LeoKellerOT Sorry I should have credited @kwiens62 for this image - she has lots of other useful ones too! (my mom's a primary school secretary and has the "growth mindset and inclusion" graphic printed and stuck on her office noticeboard 😊) #OTalk |
| Helen OTUK @Helen_OTUK @philking53 @OTalk_ happens to us all! #OTalk |
| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD @BillWongOT @SamSly2 We all need to reflect on what we do and how we say and how we say it #otalk |
