#OTalk @OTalk_
Who's joining us tonight, and what's your answer to question 1? 😁 #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SusanGriffiths5 @OTalk_ If we have stroke patients, sometimes we will use constrain induced therapy. Sometimes we also will play music with dementia patients when they are in the therapy room. #otalk

@OTalk_ Ready and excited for this #OTalk 👋
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SusanGriffiths5 me will be transitioning to lunch mode as always! Last week I didn't join because I was in post-interview mode and I didn't want to think about OT until the next day. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SusanGriffiths5 @OTalk_ in my setting, I think we might have confounders, such as dementia or some combination of psych diagnoses. So, the evidence might not always apply here. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@BillWongOT It is indeed! Not too far from Christmas now 😁 #OTalk (really wanted to illustrate this post with a Christmas OT joke I saw last year of an Elf on the Shelf titled "Therapeutic Use of Elf" but I can't find it 😔)

@SusanGriffiths5 @OTalk_ In my setting, that will be no ability to build consistent rapport with patients. Having needed to travel to different nursing homes with little notice + not seeing these patients consistently on a daily basis makes it difficult for me to try. #otalk

@sherlynmelody @SusanGriffiths5 @OTalk_ @CeeCeeOT yes- in the USA, productivity is king in many settings. And then as therapists, we also are responsible to do weekly and monthly reports, too! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@sherlynmelody @SusanGriffiths5 @OTalk_ @CeeCeeOT but now I will switch to assistants for a bit in the USA... for them, I think it's two fold. One is the way their curriculums are designed when they are in school. The other is lack of a clear pathway on how to get involved in research. #otalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTinretirement @SusanGriffiths5 @OTalk_ I think our qualified assistants (like in USA and Canada) should incorporate research into their curriculum... and for those that does already, these courses need to have a stronger presence! #otalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SusanGriffiths5 @BeccaSheltonOT @OTalk_ I think first it has to start from the top. If management doesn't provide incentives for clinicians to be involved in research, it is hard for clinicians to get involved. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SusanGriffiths5 @BeccaSheltonOT @OTalk_ another one- maybe we need to have greater incentives for our graduates to get involved in research. This includes making it a sustainable career path! #otalk
JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy
@SusanGriffiths5 @OTalk_ I think the range of evidence allows us to use evidence based interventions a large portion of the time. Even if we have to think outside the box to deliver it or it is just our therapeutic use of self. #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@MeganTheOT @SusanGriffiths5 @OTinretirement @OTalk_ The thing is- how intentional are we willing to meet with potential research partners that are international so that such discussions can take place? Are we willing to invest in our CPD so that we can set such opportunities up? #otalk

@SusanGriffiths5 @LyndsayCourtOT Also (saying this as @colourful_ot rather than speaking for OTalk) I think ABA is an example of needing to consider what we mean by robust evidence - e.g. many ABA papers show strong evidence for reducing stimming but is there evidence that that's good for quality of life? #OTalk
