| Alison Laver-Fawcett @alisonlaverfaw @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ The complexity makes assessment a challenge, I think OTs are often on the ‘holy grail‘ for the perfect one size fits all assessment, but in reality I think we need a toolkit of assessments for different purposes #OTalk @dianecox61 @OTalk_ @YSJOT |

| Alison Laver-Fawcett @alisonlaverfaw #OTalk sensitivity to the desired and expected level of change is critical.

| Prof Diane Cox @dianecox61 Q2 A clear purpose; need to think why using it and needs to know its reliable and valid #OTalk |
| Prof Diane Cox @dianecox61 #OTalk |
 | Kathryn Fox @OccupationalFox @alisonlaverfaw Something that's important in my setting (acute MH) is that the assessment can be communicated effectively to the MDT whilst still maintaining an occupational focus - it's a tricky balance! #OTalk |
| Prof Diane Cox @dianecox61 Can you tell what you mean by dynamic assessments? @alisonlaverfaw #OTalk |
| Alison Laver-Fawcett @alisonlaverfaw So important to have an accurate baseline for setting negotiated goals with the person, selecting the appropriate intervention and then to be able to evaluate change #OTalk |

| Lindsay Rook @LindsayOTPICU @alisonlaverfaw @OTalk_ First and foremost it has to work for that individual in terms of their ability to engage in assessment. I work in acute MH and PICU so utilise a range of assessment tools for people at different stages of recovery. #OTalk |
| Prof Diane Cox @dianecox61 That's a great reply, #OTalk |
| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT RT @dianecox61: Q2 A clear purpose; need to think why using it and needs to know its reliable and valid #OTalk https://t.co/Sg0Zj8eLNV |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody #otalk it needs to involve the person, e.g. Copm. Tasks chosen by them. Taking into account barriers/facilitators |
 | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny #OTalk for me assessments are about providing data to inform intervention plans, measure change, and provide evidence for the individual to help explain their situation. |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 I really value self rating where possible. This can be done in so many ways that are not numerical #OTalk |

 | Vikki Barry @VikkiBarryOT Sorry for being slightly late to the party. Been determined to catch an #OTalk for a few weeks now. I completely agree with comments so far. For me it’s a client centred method of gaining a persons occupational story from their perspective, really valuing their narrative. |

| Prof Diane Cox @dianecox61 @OccupationalFox @alisonlaverfaw Yes communication key #OTalk |
| Alison Laver-Fawcett @alisonlaverfaw #OTalk Dynamic assessment uses an interactive procedure to observe and measure changes in a person’s behaviour or function that occur in response to mediation strategies, cues, feedback or task conditions - useful references see work by Haywood & Lidz, 2007; Toglia & Cermak, 2009 |

 | Odeth Richardson @OdethRichardson Need to ensure it covers what matters to the person #OTalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny #OTalk @alisonlaverfaw an assessment must have relevance, be suitable for administration to the person, provide data that is accurate and reliable and most of all be acceptable to the individual. |
| Vikki Barry @VikkiBarryOT This is really interesting and something we were discussing last week - the interrelationship between assessment and intervention - any assessment has to have elements of meaning, purpose and value to clients, what are your thoughts? #OTalk |
| Nicola Oddy @alilou250969 @dianecox61 #otalk I work in post acute and my assessment are very basic and functional and often require support from extended family and Carer’s. I need to compare current and baseline function to inform POC |
| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT @alisonlaverfaw @OTalk_ Q2: other considerations are cost of test (ex senior leader head flipped back on for a mo there); how much time it will take; our expertise and does it fit with our philosophy/theoretical perspective #OTalk |

| Alison Laver-Fawcett @alisonlaverfaw #OTalk so here is the 3rd question: we have generated a lot of ideas of what we are looking for and what an assessment needs, so often we can’t find a test that delivers everything so what is the most IMPORTANT feature an assessment or measure has to have? |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ @IamAnOT19 @WarksScouts Assessments! We've been talking so far about what we look for in an ax., with people highlighting things like the importance of person-centredness, a focus on function, and sensitivity to change, but also acknowledging that we need different tools for different situations #OTalk |
| Vikki Barry @VikkiBarryOT @emmaspellmanOT @alisonlaverfaw @OTalk_ This is a good point. Students ask this quite a lot that - the philosophy and gold standard of OT can be challenging to achieve with these things you are discussing here Emma #OTalk |

| Kathryn Fox @OccupationalFox @mershy73 @OTalk_ @alisonlaverfaw I feel like I'm still working it out to be honest! One method I've used when I'm doing a MOHOST and fed back in ward round is that I've always made sure I take the scoring into ward round as I feel it's a good visual to present the findings quickly #OTalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody How cuuute #otalk, hello lil wabbit. |
| Alicia Ridout @AliciaRidout @alisonlaverfaw How much choice is there realistically? Do services or electronic systems influence choice?? #OTalk |

| Alison Laver-Fawcett @alisonlaverfaw #OTalk that’s what can be so useful about a dynamic assessment you can find out what mediation can be helpful, e.g. reducing the activity demand, using a verbal prompt, the need for physical cues. The information can help us to pitch the intervention at the ‘Just right’ level |
| Prof Diane Cox @dianecox61 Yes agree it can be difficult - but there are measures and assessments we can evidence and use #OTalk @OTalk_ @alisonlaverfaw |
| Alison Laver-Fawcett @alisonlaverfaw Next question: What was the most useful tip you have for thinking about which assessment tool to use? #OTalk |
| Kathryn Fox @OccupationalFox @AliciaRidout @alisonlaverfaw This is something I've come upon as a newly qualified OT, I don't have much choice re assessments, it's very limited in terms of what standardised or evidence based assessments are available #OTalk |
| Vikki Barry @VikkiBarryOT Yes - most certainly @alisonlaverfaw #OTalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny For me it has to be reliability #OTalk @alisonlaverfaw otherwise what is the point if the data has no real meaning. |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @carspring27 @alisonlaverfaw #otalk i assess people in their homes, mainly looking at their function. They know what they want help with. |
| Minh Tran @otramblings @alisonlaverfaw @OTalk_ #otalk for me personally, an important feature would be a section to record the initial Ax (baseline) with additional sections to record reviews/re-assessments |

| Nicola Oddy @alilou250969 @preston_jenny @OTalk_ @alisonlaverfaw I’ve done that before, I used the moca as a family Xmas activity and practice putting knickers on with a long handled grabber with friends #otalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Perhaps if there is another student also on placement at the same time you could practice with/on each other? #OTalk @alisonlaverfaw |

| Prof Diane Cox @dianecox61 #OTalk can't believe time almost up - so many people in the chat tonight Alison & I have loved your responses @alisonlaverfaw @OTalk_ |
| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT @AideenKa @alisonlaverfaw @OTalk_ could you ask for practical sessions with your programme lead, personal tutor and/or peer group supervision at uni? perhaps ask that assessments used on your next practice placement are demonstrated as part of induction to you @AideenKa good luck #OTalk |

| Sue Parkinson @MOHOspark @emmaspellmanOT @OccupationalFox #OTalk So pleased to hear this. I'm waiting for the day when universities decide that (given that OT is not diagnosis-led) students can learn about health conditions on placement and use the time that would be devoted to this at uni, to teach more occupation-focused practice. |
| Alison Laver-Fawcett @alisonlaverfaw Me too! When I was first working and sharing a flat in London,my flat mates used to let me practice standardised assessments with them in return for me getting a round or two of drinks in at the pub afterwards!! #OTalk |
