Thank you -#OTalk As we know occupational therapist use a client centred approach to promoting engagement and participation of children and young people, but what goal setting tools are being used across different specialist areas and why?

@_allisulli Hello Allison, welcome to tonight’s #OTalk. It will great to hear from you what goal setting tools you use and why in your specialist area?
Rachel OT @_rachelOT
@EmmaLairdOT @OTalk_ Hello #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
Rachel Woolcomb @CoJars
@EmmaLaird I have been using #Talking Mats to enable young people to think and talk about their goals within a neuro setting #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_OT Welcome Juliet, this is my first time organising #OTalk so feel free to comment?
Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts
I’ve been using COPM but also a homemade talking mat / COSA style system to help children understand occupations they value / don’t value / able / unable to do. Helps to explain our role too #otalk

@sharontuppenyot @OTalk_ Hello Sharon, welcome to #OTalk - it will be great to hear everyone’s thoughts!

@BillWongOT @EmmaLairdOT what is your experience of using the scoring system? Is it too complex for children? #otalk
Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts
@Juliet_OT @EmmaLairdOT Welcome to your first #OTalk. It’s ok to be a lurker!
Rachel OT @_rachelOT
@EmmaLairdOT Hello! I am currently a student, but I have observed GAS goals being used in CAMHS settings, due to the child or young person being able to take more ownership of their goals. It was also useful to be used as an individual outcome measure. #otalk
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
Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts
@_allisulli @EmmaLairdOT I like this assessment too #OTalk use it a lot for my EHCP assessments.
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@CoJars @EmmaLairdOT I think it can be good for adolescents, though. #otalk

@EmmaLairdOT Hi. I’ll be dipping in and out today (Currently at youth group!). #OTalk I work in children’s services social care
Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts
I think you need an occupational based goal setting assessment to help keep your practice occupationally focused #otalk. In the past I’ve ended up with goals that are not functional.
Emma Laird (she/her) @EmmaLairdOT
@RRule_OT Hello Rachel, it’s great to have students perspective so we welcome any thoughts or expencience. #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

@sarahawker @EmmaLairdOT All welcome #OTalk
Sara Hawker (she/her) @sarahawker
@Juliet_OT @EmmaLairdOT I’ve heard this one being used. Is it used consistently? #OTalk
Emma Laird (she/her) @EmmaLairdOT
@OTthoughts @_allisulli #OTalk there are lots of tools available and reasons for selection is different for each therapist depending on if it about seeking the child’s view, occupation based assessment or looking at development or underlying reason for possible difficulty
Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts
@Juliet_OT @CoJars @EmmaLaird Used a lot in LD and really helpful especially when exploring discharging from hospital . Here some information https://t.co/O2rftYpBw9 and follow @TalkingMats. #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
Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts
@EmmaLairdOT @_allisulli I like to ensure I have the child views even if it’s different to the teacher or parent #OTalk

@Juliet_OT @BillWongOT @CoJars #OTalk as part of my MSc looking at outcomes I’m looking at the value of assessments in as outcome measures and self reporting measures or occupation based seem to be up and coming in relation to being evidence based
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

Hi I’m joining late. I’m an OT student and lurking! #OTalk
Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts
@EmmaLairdOT @Juliet_OT @BillWongOT @CoJars Sounds brilliant and very much needed. Hope you’ll share your learning #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
How do you ensure this? #otalk
Emma Laird (she/her) @EmmaLairdOT
@OTthoughts @Juliet_OT @BillWongOT @CoJars This is another area of practice that is emerging with the focus on empowering those most proximal to the child and supporting them to be included within decision making process #OtAlk
Sharon Tuppeny @sharontuppenyot
#OTalk COPM - why? researched, occupation centred and have used successfully with wide range of needs
#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
Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts
I feel is important when discussing goals is ensure the child values that occupation / activity. I’ve seen in my practice therapist practicing catching a ball but the child doesn’t like/value ball skills. What’s others thoughts? #OTalk
Emma Laird (she/her) @EmmaLairdOT
@Juliet_OT @sarahawker #OTalk - very much agree it’s about keeping occupation at the core.

Emma Laird (she/her) @EmmaLairdOT
Question 2 - how can we measure the impact of goal setting with children and young people and their families? #OTalk
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
Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts
@Juliet_OT @BillWongOT @CoJars @EmmaLairdOT I literally tweeted today about how the coaching model was so helpful during a school visit today for a child on an EHCP. #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

Rachel Woolcomb @CoJars
@OTthoughts I agree it is paramount to understand what a child values, we need to take time to listen and not just talk! #otalk
Emma Laird (she/her) @EmmaLairdOT
@_allisulli What age range does it cover Allison? #OTalk
Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts
@OTalk_ We do a score before and after...like COPM. It’s a confident score. I would prefer to use the language of COPM - ability and satisfaction. #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@EmmaLairdOT Sometimes academic performances can speak for themselves. #otalk

#OTalk - fabulous discussion about using goal setting tools to help the child be part of the decision making process and find out what is meaningful to them?
Rachel Woolcomb @CoJars
@EmmaLairdOT goals can demonstrate a change in performance , knowledge or attitude , too often we only use performance goals #otalk

@CoJars And I think we feel we need to give lots of advice, even if it’s not helpful and can’t be imbedded into their daily routine #OTalk
Emma Laird (she/her) @EmmaLairdOT
@BillWongOT Yes Bill it can but in spite of that as occupational therapists we need to measure there value of our profession. I think there are so many things to consider and Bill you have mentioned key stakeholders. #OTalk
Emma Laird (she/her) @EmmaLairdOT
@_allisulli That sound like a great goal setting tool that can be used across the age span! #OTalk

@_allisulli @EmmaLairdOT Oooo I would like this assessment. Thank you for sharing. One to share with management #OTalk
Rachel Woolcomb @CoJars
@OTthoughts I agree - perhaps we try to please the parents and listen less to what the child is actually telling us #otalk

@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.

Emma Laird (she/her) @EmmaLairdOT
In my area of practice, we use a self rating scale that the child or young person scores them self before and after intervention. does anyone else use anything similar or different? #OTalk
Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts
@OTalk_ For me if I just concentration on individual components i.e. fine motor skills or shoulder stability it’s harder to measure the outcome because there is no optimal ideal but when we focus on occupational performance this can be measured. #otalk
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

Emma Laird (she/her) @EmmaLairdOT
@BillWongOT So you encourage the child@to identify there own goals - great when they feel they have ownership on what ever is important to them #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

@vicki_OT2018 Yes agree vicki - lots of factors that influence a child especially as they grow, take on new challenges, learn new skills and knowledge, build up friendship, increase expectations etc #OTalk
Rachel Woolcomb @CoJars
@EmmaLairdOT Yes I have used similar but just tend to ask them to place a cross on the line between confident / not confident #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT

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
Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts
@Juliet_OT @gemma_riches I like the GROW model - I use it in management and with staff. Haven’t thoughts about using it with clients! #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

RT @LelanieBrewer: We need to make a real effort to hear what people are saying and not prescribe just what we think is best - even small children are able to express their concerns and needs in their own way #OTalk
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
Bethany Lane @bethanylane_OT
@EmmaLairdOT I think it's a great tool to ensure we remain occupation-focused, as long as the assessments are done with the patient or as close to the patient as possible so it actually reflects them! #OTalk

@bethanylane_OT Thanks for sharing Bill and great to know this can be used with cyp #Otalk

@bethanylane_OT It’s important that the focus is on the child and what’s going to be more helpful rather than doing an assessment that is meaningless #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.

@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
Sara Hawker (she/her) @sarahawker
@bethanylane_OT @EmmaLairdOT Yes laws and PEO model is useful depending upon the child’s age. #otalk

RT @EmmaLairdOT: It’s important to have those most proximal to the child or young person included as they are likely to have the most impact #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
Emma Laird (she/her) @EmmaLairdOT
One of my thought having reviewed the evidence in relation to goal setting it the lack of qualitative data especially in relation to parental thoughts about children and young people setting their own goals #Otalk
Hayley Goodwin (her/she) @OTthoughts
Thank you everyone for a great discussion. Lots of ideas and reflections to take forward #OTalk
Rachel Woolcomb @CoJars
@bethanylane_OT @EmmaLairdOT good idea, i have not tried Kawa with children but can see how it would work with one of my clients #otalk
Emma Laird (she/her) @EmmaLairdOT
@CoJars @_allisulli Yes that can be tricky #Otalk

@bethanylane_OT Depends on learning style #Otalk
Vicki 💚 @V_the_OT
@EmmaLairdOT I’d like to see more done with those transitioning between services. What goals are reached and how are they measured/what measures can bridge that gap?#Otalk

@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

Well can’t believe an hour has passed talking about a topic I am very passionate about. Thank you everyone for your contribution - it has been much appreciated #otalk
Emma Laird (she/her) @EmmaLairdOT
@OTalk_ Thank you #otalk for participating in a fabulous learning opportunity. I have learned so much from everyone who contributed.
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
Vicki 💚 @V_the_OT
@EmmaLairdOT Very interesting and current hot topic for me! #otalk #dissertation #serviceimprovement
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
