| #OTalk @OTalk_ If there are any newbies or lurkers out there give me a shout if you get stuck or lost along the way! #OTalk https://t.co/l23y1AT10w |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ With the #OTalk housekeeping out of the way it’s over to @EmmaLairdOT for the 1st question. https://t.co/biQgUZU5Dd |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @EmmaLairdOT: |
 | Kristina Hobbs @KristinaHobbsOT RT @EmmaLairdOT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EmmaLairdOT I think the COPM could be helpful here. Doing the assessment can help identify potential goals. #otalk |
 | Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @EmmaLairdOT Hiya, I’m joining into my first #OTalk (lurked a bit and read the transcripts of others though). I lead the EHCP mainstream school pathway in a county in London |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @EmmaLairdOT We use a short questionnaire based on GAS so we can use GAS as our outcome measure. Questionnaire uses COPM language though and I adapt to COPM graphics of the child needs me too #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @CoJars @EmmaLairdOT I think it can be good for adolescents, though. #otalk |

| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @CoJars @EmmaLaird I’ve heard about talking mats but need to do more research as I don’t know really what they are! Be good to find out :) #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @sarahawker @EmmaLairdOT All welcome #OTalk |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @BillWongOT @CoJars @EmmaLairdOT Often with adolescents I just use self-reporting questions and go from there. Sometimes helps the conversation flow and we use coaching model to support skills dev. #OTalk |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @sarahawker @EmmaLairdOT It’s only been introduced to the service this term but seems to be working well and helps us focus our sessions into outcomes in line with EHCP paperwork. We have adapted so we don’t put all the score in just baseline and achieved #OTalk |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @sarahawker @EmmaLairdOT There is a concern about a GAS bank of outcomes but we are being mindful to avoid that and ensure the outcomes are client centred each and every time! #OTalk |
 | Gemma Riches @gemma_riches Hi I’m joining late. I’m an OT student and lurking! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ How do you ensure this? #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ All welcome #Otalk |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @OTthoughts @BillWongOT @CoJars @EmmaLairdOT I work best with the coaching model. As you said esp with parents/adolescents but I use it daily with school staff too and they benefit so much and explore more diverse outcomes #schoolOT #OTalk |
 | JSwaine @jillian_swaine RT @OTalk_: #OTalk 27th November 2018 – Occupation Focused Goal Setting Tools for Children and Young People https://t.co/9IgEON9Hjt |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @OTalk_ We don’t make the GAS bank. Each child has to have outcomes written and, whilst they are similar to others, we ask clinicians to not copy paste as with typing we get less generic and more personal outcomes. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2 #otalk |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @OTalk_ This also ensures that we write personal expected outcomes into the box rather than a generic sentence. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EmmaLairdOT Sometimes academic performances can speak for themselves. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @EmmaLairdOT: |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @EmmaLairdOT We will be asking for feedback from this year where we have been outcome setting with GAS outcome measure AND occ focused client centred outcomes and see if parents/schools/children prefer GAS to set outcomes #OTalk |
 | deb_OT @dmay_ot #otalk - So true. On my paediatric placement I realised that all the goals for one child related to self care tasks which would make her parents' and TA's lives easier. Nobody actually asked her what she wanted. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ We are 30min tho already #OTalk time flys https://t.co/DMtBQucGG7 |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @CoJars @OTthoughts I have started changing how I explore button skills with children to make it more child relevant...not many want to be threading beads but they do like weaving a pattern, finger knitting, and Theraputty treasure hunt! #OTalk |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @CoJars @OTthoughts Then again...I also have a child on my caseload who wants to be a fire engine... so that has been fun to explore too #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3 #OTalk |
| Gemma Riches @gemma_riches Joined in with #OTalk and discovered OT Coaching What is OT Coaching | Mastery of Doing https://t.co/1631UITbqn |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EmmaLairdOT when we identify items to work on, then they can be goals for the kids to work towards and re-evaluate periodically. #otalk |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @gemma_riches That is a great succinct resource. We use the TGROW (or GROW) model and also embed with Occupational Performance Coaching. Coaching is such a worthy skill to master and I think gives more role satisfaction. Enjoy! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EmmaLairdOT yes- I believe that is important... since that can help us being client centered. #otalk |
 | Charlotte Betteridge @CharlOTte_Paeds @EmmaLairdOT @OTalk_ I really value having plenty of time to build a rapport to really unpick what is genuinely important to them prior to goal setting, also having opportunities to discuss goals away from parents. Get goals right & you hit the nail on the head with engagement. #OTalk |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @EmmaLairdOT I like both GAS and COPM for (as I use these now). With GAS I find it easier to see how the outcome has been worked towards and I ask where the child thinks they are on the scale so it helps with children who can’t see the change themselves #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ With 15 mins to go I’m very impressed-everyone is remembering the hashtag #OTalk |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @EmmaLairdOT Not yet but it’s coming in I think. Sometimes it is hard to ask children where they think they are as they can be so negative or overly positive #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EmmaLairdOT if possible, we should also consult the child's teachers and parents. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @EmmaLairdOT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 4 #OTalk |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @EmmaLairdOT My team used to only really meet with teachers but now we ask for parents to attend at least 1 session in first term and then complete a follow up phone call/ask them to attend to see what they are doing/how it’s going. #OTalk |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @EmmaLairdOT We also ask for a school representative at every OT apt in school and reduced the reports we were doing to summaries so that the school has more autonomy and ownership with implementing OT advice #OTalk |

| Charlotte Betteridge @CharlOTte_Paeds RT @OTthoughts: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ 10min left #OTalk |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @EmmaLairdOT Also trying to steer away from new equipment (unless postural)...if you can see it, you can use it...if you can’t, think again. And only asking for equipment purchase if nothing else will work. Schools appreciate this more. #innovativeOT #otalk |
 | David Marson @DavidCMars Q.4 Arriving late to the conversation! Yes I think taking time to listen to staff, parents and child's perspective is key #otalk |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @vicki_OT2018 @EmmaLairdOT Sometimes. We have noticed that actually a lot of education and coaching has been required as they have become disenchanted with it all and frustrated so it’s building those rapports and encouraging ful engagement again #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LelanieBrewer: |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @vicki_OT2018 @EmmaLairdOT Feedback about what OT is key. Many schools are asking for an OT newsletter so we have an email blast. Why we ask children to walk like animals is a common question and grounding that in the science is good for responses as it makes more sense #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Last question #otalk |

 | Abi Edwards 💙 @AbiEdwards7 @OTalk_ #otalk work collaboratively with children’s circles of influence - include, schools, clubs, friends and family members in the target setting if possible, certainly sharing and review....empowers everyone and keeps the child at the centre of the process. |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @OTthoughts @bethanylane_OT @EmmaLairdOT Interest checklist is really useful, I use it with children who want to access sports but not coordinated ball skills/team working. Usually they choose martial arts when they realise this is an option at school! #OTalk |
| David Marson @DavidCMars For an interesting critique of GAS goals - https://t.co/ElGbru0SVR #otalk |
| Charlotte Betteridge @CharlOTte_Paeds @EmmaLairdOT Standardised outcome measures that are valid for children in the acute setting! Any advice appreciated👍 #OTalk |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @CoJars @_allisulli @EmmaLairdOT We are working hard as a team to overcome this. Thankfully my lead is brilliant as making sure we focus on the occupation and checking in with how we’re doing and encouraging us to change our language #OTalk #takesateam |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @CoJars @vicki_OT2018 @EmmaLairdOT And now on mine! Thanks! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ And that’s it the hour is up can we all thank @EmmaLairdOT for a great chat tonight #otalk https://t.co/E1Ncs0Tgfs |

| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @EmmaLairdOT @OTthoughts @bethanylane_OT https://t.co/9Az282Fd4T Example of an interest checklist. I am developing one for sports and SEN sports in the area to open minds up to the amazing different sports out there i.e. martial arts, w/ch rugby, ultimate frisbee, parkrun #OTalk |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @_allisulli I agree with this. I am keen to learn more about CAPE-PAC and the PEGS as I can see the use for them in practice. We should be more aware of how much SI and sensory processing work we provide during acquisitional practice #OTalk |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @vicki_OT2018 @EmmaLairdOT Transition is such a challenging time. It depends on the child and their plan as to whether some goals are ever reached and we review before discharge and document in our report where the child was in achieving outcomes. Depends on measure used in next place if continued. #OTalk |
| Juliet Hutcheson @Juliet_OT @EmmaLairdOT That went so fast! Definitely worth missing the gym for a topic I am passionate about and I have so much to go and research and learn more about now. Thanks for everyone’s input, comments, and conversations and for having me. #OTalk |
