@chungsongyau it's an important occupation for me to access my 2 other meaningful occupations- work and leisure. I need my car to drive to work, and sometimes in between work. I also need my car to drive to the golf course. (I can't imagine carrying my golf bag to a bus!) #otalk

@NicoleCWalmsley It was fun when I did a cross country trip (in UK, no less). I did the first third of it via driving... which is impressive for an American who had no experience with British driving laws and rules! #otalk

@uk_james @NicoleCWalmsley Los Angeles is not too much better either! I live in the wrong part of USA. That's why I make it a mission when I retire- I will do so at a laid back place! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@EmPlayfair @GeorgiaVineOT @chungsongyau yes- in some places in the world, I would rather use public transit than have a car! Hong Kong would be one of them! #otalk

@chungsongyau I have jaw stretches and exercises from my Dr which I complete in my car. So a container for rehab as well? The drivers next to me must think I'm weird. #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@RCOT_NP although in some places for me in the USA, going on public transport can mean more than double the time than you would have driving... because you have to make connections to different ones! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
RT @chungsongyau: #Otalk So question 2 brining is on to our work as OTs or experience as someone returning to driving . Q2:
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@chungsongyau I think sometimes the best way is to use activities- like driving simulators, or games that test reaction time, abilities to scan L and R regularly. Wii or Kinect can be our friends I think. #otalk
JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy
@BillWongOT @RCOT_NP That's the same here in Melbourne Aus. Unless you are going to the CBD you have to make connections. #OTalk

@EmPlayfair @JasminLaffy @RCOT_NP I felt that way when I was in Sydney for the OT Australia conference earlier this year. Rush hour makes such a difference! #otalk
JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy
@chungsongyau Cognition is a big factor. I think testing for neglect and their ability to shift attention and processing speed. Can be done through games or standardised assessments. #OTalk

@willchegwidden @JenniferNCrow @EmPlayfair speaking of Uber, some patients at my work will get sent to where they need to be via one when they are discharged from the facility. Facility picks up the tab. #otalk

@NicoleCWalmsley I have a friend of mine who owns a mobile driving simulating business. His services is designed to bridge the gap for people who can't access to rehab centers with driving rehab facilities easily in the LA area. Maybe UK OT's can consider doing the same? #otalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@chungsongyau I had no experience in this... so I am just venturing some guesses. 1. Visually scanning activities (esp. if they might have neglect) 2. activities that work on reaction time I got to go now... talk to you guys later! #otalk
JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy
@chungsongyau Provide interventions for what their barriers are, eg visual scanning techniques for hemianopia. Then refer on to an OT driving assessor. #OTalk

@chungsongyau I’m so late to the chat tonight.... #OTalk but will reflect on responses as I drive 🚗 slowly through the responses. Driving means independence and access to other important occupations

Do you not need a valid driving license to go out for a driving lesson in the first instance? I know the assessment centres have different regulations ... or do they #OTalk

Also! If you enjoyed tonight's chat and think you might like to help us organise more chats, spread the word about what we do, or just hang out with a nice bunch of OTs (😉), we're looking for volunteers! #OTalk https://t.co/wEo7ihHycK

@EmPlayfair I think it could be either, I was wondering about my own perception when trying to write the description! I figured someone using a screen reader would rather an inaccurate description than none at all 😅 #OTalk
