@CU_STH #OTalk it's a shared activity with the individual where the Occupational Therapist can join in, it doesn't feel like a medical assessment.... Its a human way to connect with a human being.
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Happythoughtsth @CU_STH Very good point- sometimes it is also a good time to assess whether certain adaptive equipment to help them in this tasks. It can also help certain patients in regards to safety training. #otalk

#otalk the transdisciplinary approach is so important. I think we lose something if we don't see the inherent connections to a wide range of 'others' including community allotments, schools. ths is STH's strength
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@CU_STH @OTalk_ If I retire from OT, that would be my occupation of choice. 😬 #otalk

@esmewood1 @paula_dring @therapy2optimum I (@Kirstie_OT) very much agree with this! #OTalk

Into the last 15 minutes of tonight’s #OTalk with @CU_STH 👍🏻 https://t.co/5P2AT4q0bt
LauraB @LauraB53085064
#otalk I wonder if we need to think about what STH is within that agenda. many of the posts highlight the huge personal value of being in nature but would that meet a strict STH definition. when is something therapeutic?
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LauraB53085064 I think when you can see a positive difference in occupation engagement and/or mental health. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@CU_STH @LauraB53085064 Yes- just like what is the definition is enjoyable occupation for everyone of us. #otalk
LauraB @LauraB53085064
#otalk thanks Bill. I agree. that is very wide and includes activities alone, or 'passive' activities like sitting in a garden but it hink it captures many of those actions which make us feel better. maybe different for say stroke rehab?
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@colourful_ot @CU_STH Or the old ones that are built decades ago... remodel to fit modern times. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@therapy2optimum @esmewood1 @paula_dring @Kirstie_OT different outdoors for different dogs. Like people, Some dogs can find wide open spaces overwhelming but thrive in safe quiet gardens with their humans. A quiet place to be together? #Otalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ @CU_STH My final thought is- nature occupations is something that should be explored more when we work with patients. Sometimes they can be therapeutic and get patients motivated to reach their maximum potential. #otalk
