 | #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome to tonight's #OTalk. It's @Ruth_Hawley and @GeekyOT supporting tonight. Let us know who's joining us this evening before we hand over to @RebeccaCrouch for the first question. |
 | OfficialCAHPR @OfficialCAHPR And #OTalk has just started... |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ A little reminder of our code of conduct before we get stuck in. Please remember the #OTalk in every tweet so that your contributions make it into the transcript. Be professional, have fun and enjoy the discussion. Lurkers welcome but feel free to contribute too. |
 | JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @OTalk_ @Ruth_Hawley @GeekyOT @RebeccaCrouch Hello everyone 👋👋 #otalk |
 | deb_OT @dmay_ot @RebeccaCrouch @OTalk_ evening! OT and books. two of my favourite things. looking forward to this! #otalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @ABraunizer @OTalk_ @Ruth_Hawley @GeekyOT @RebeccaCrouch I'm hoping my dinner might be delivered during #otalk |
 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ @Ruth_Hawley @GeekyOT @RebeccaCrouch hello peeps! #otalk https://t.co/MD9QkaA6CH |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch @OTalk_ @Ruth_Hawley @GeekyOT Very early morning for me, but I'm excited to talk about books! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @cathymc9781 @Ruth_Hawley @GeekyOT @RebeccaCrouch We'll keep our fingers crossed for you that it holds out. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RebeccaCrouch A1. Storytelling from a first person perspective. This is important because we often want to hear things from the source when we first meet our patients/clients/service users. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @GeorgiaVineOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @margaretOT360: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Cass_OT__: |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch Listening to someone's personal story and the journey they have taken to reach that point. Such an important part of making practice client centred #otalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @Cass_OT__ @RebeccaCrouch @OTalk_ oooh. I like that! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Cass_OT__: @RebeccaCrouch @OTalk_ And in addition: |
 | 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @BillWongOT @RebeccaCrouch A client/ patient telling their story. If we don’t have their narrative to learn who they are, their values, roles, occupations, etc. that are meaningful to them then we wouldn’t be providing OT from a holistic approach. #Otalk |

 | Sam Pywell @smileyfacehalo #OTalk Narratives are context dependent. All about individual perspective, man ...... https://t.co/wWQWp1O4kx |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch That is why I am a fan of guest lectures of service users as an OT student. We get to learn things beyond our textbooks! #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @laurafcliff: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Great image for tonight's #OTalk @colourful_ot . Love it! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @SigningOTQueen: @BillWongOT @RebeccaCrouch A client/ patient telling their story. If we don’t have their narrative to learn who they are, their values, roles, occupations, etc. that are meaningful to them then we wouldn’t be providing OT from a holistic approach. #Otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @hspenceruk: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @hspenceruk @RebeccaCrouch I know I did a @SPOTeurope talk on autism recently. It was an interesting experience for students to learn more about autism. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Cass_OT__: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ I can see the theme and importance of being person centred being closely linked with narratives within occupational therapy so far in this #OTalk |
| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @margaretOT360 Hmm, how do I explain this to my patients/ clients in a way that they understand? There has to be a better definition, I mean explanation. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @SigningOTQueen: @BillWongOT @RebeccaCrouch A client/ patient telling their story. If we don’t have their narrative to learn who they are, their values, roles, occupations, etc. that are meaningful to them then we wouldn’t be providing OT from a holistic approach. #Otalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch I remember my first day at University we focused on narratives and journeys. Feeling some nostalgia! #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OTalk_: I can see the theme and importance of being person centred being closely linked with narratives within occupational therapy so far in this #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RJOTSeashell: |
 | Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @RebeccaCrouch I think it is important that we are aware of our own personal narratives and how they influence our thinking and how we can use our own narratives to build a rapport with clients to strengthen the therapist-client relationship. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Good point. Narratives don't just come from individuals. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RJOTSeashell @RebeccaCrouch Before OT school, I did not buy that. But once I got into OT school (and understanding more about autism), I begin to realize that stats can lie. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RebeccaCrouch @hspenceruk @SPOTeurope In a sense, I am one of your resident peer experts... lol! #otalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @RebeccaCrouch You can only understand their experience from within your own experience but you can learn a lot about what they say, and don't say and where they place their emphasis. #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @margaretOT360 or another way is- "what got you here?" #otalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @BillWongOT @RebeccaCrouch Learning and listening to someone's experience in life is so important! Helps to understand many different perspectives #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ yes- in cases of people with dementia/Alzheimer's, or suddenly become totally bed ridden, then their caregivers will provide these narratives. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch That is why my Twitter is designed in such a way that I try to balance both professional content & lived experience content. Not the easiest for the latter because I still got to maintain professionalism in spite of that. So, there are some autism stuff I just won't tweet. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @SPOTeurope: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @JasminLaffy: @BillWongOT @RebeccaCrouch Learning and listening to someone's experience in life is so important! Helps to understand many different perspectives #otalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @OTSophie @SusanGriffiths5 (service review tomorrow - pocketing that little nugget. thank you!) #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Easy to forget but please try and remember the #OTalk in every tweet. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RebeccaCrouch very- I would say listening to some stories about how patients ended up in these nursing homes provided me some humble pie moments. #otalk https://t.co/DvtbWnWJD1 |
| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @BillWongOT @OTalk_ Actually, the interesting way of presenting my narrative was drawing a comic... I still have it and want to revise, so I can share it here on Twitter later on. I did this for my elective course “Narratives in Medicine”? when I was in OT school. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |

| deb_OT @dmay_ot @OTalk_ oops sorry! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @SPOTeurope: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SPOTeurope although with communities, we got to be careful about making generalizations. We still should listen to individual narratives with an open mind to learn. #otalk |
| Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @RebeccaCrouch I'd say they change over time. I'm currently in 2nd year, and I would say my narrative has changed massively in the past year as I've developed in my education and on a personal level. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @GeorgiaVineOT: |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch We as occupational therapists need to make sure we do not reflexively judge a client's narrative. We also need to analyse it so we can use it to shape intervention and the therapeutic relationship #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @JasminLaffy: @RebeccaCrouch We as occupational therapists need to make sure we do not reflexively judge a client's narrative. We also need to analyse it so we can use it to shape intervention and the therapeutic relationship #otalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @Cass_OT__ @RebeccaCrouch but surely without some framework of reference its really hard to comprehend? #otalk |

| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @margaretOT360 Yes, our narratives do change over time. Mine definitely has. We grow and evolve in time. I remember writing down significant events and accomplishments that occurred over the last decade. When I was done, I was like wow... I’ve done and have grown a lot too. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @margaretOT360: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @anyadei: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @laurafcliff: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ A good point. Just needs #OTalk to make it into the transcript. |
 | Virginia Painter @VirginiaPainte7 @anyadei @RebeccaCrouch It’s a hard balance sometimes, especially when different services involved #OTalk |
 | Libby Callaway (she/her) @libby_callaway @RebeccaCrouch @OTalk_ @otalk @k_dcruz #OTalk |
 | Andreja kurbus @AndrejaKurbus RT @SPOTeurope: |
| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @margaretOT360 Narratives were important when I worked with older adults. It helped us set appropriate goals, and those that meaningful to them. In early intervention, I listened to the family’s narrative, and we focused on goals that were more important to them and their child. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @cathymc9781 Don't worry, happens to us all. You being here is valued #OTalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch Working in paediatrics you have to have some understanding of the narrative of the whole family. Understanding the families journey as a whole as well as the child. Mostly through initial interviews #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_KateT @RebeccaCrouch and that's the tough part sometimes when you are only there to perform evaluations for the patients in some settings in some parts of the world. Sometimes you don't get to see what the progress and outcomes are. #otalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @OT_KateT @BillWongOT @RebeccaCrouch I think some of that is context specific - my caseload doesn't feel the need to tell a story often (and it's often totally imagined and imaginative)- but it makes it much easier to be a useful part of their story if I know they think paw patrol is the best thing ever! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RebeccaCrouch I am not a bookworm, but I can certainly see reading as a meaningful occupation. I think once students are away from pressure cookers of their studies, some of them may discover the joy of reading again. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Half way through tonight's #OTalk doesn't time fly? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @dmay_ot @OT_KateT @RebeccaCrouch and in my setting- sometimes patients will be on caseload multiple times. So, I find myself skipping the story part if they are readmitted to the caseload. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @margaretOT360: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @AngieHodgson2: |

| Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @RebeccaCrouch Very important to understand the individual and how to collaborate for a meaningful experience and intervention. I took the time to listen to a clients story on a recent placement and found out how important it was to them that they walked their dog! #OTalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @margaretOT360 I think it's a collaborative between the client and therapist #otalk |
| Sam Pywell @smileyfacehalo @DrCConnell @Cass_OT__ @RebeccaCrouch #otalk like this thread. So we create our narrative through our words. Mind bendy https://t.co/23qGizHCr5 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch true- especially if these patients are seen in the NICU. So, you will need to find out how these babies end up in your caseload. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ A nice description of reading from a personal perspective #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @cathymc9781: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Cass_OT__: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @anyadei: |
| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @RebeccaCrouch I’d like to add that narratives allow me to learn about their roles, routines... Every person and family is unique. I’m super blessed to work in Queens, which is one of the most diverse places to live. I work with families of all ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @emke: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Good reminder of the different ways we can access reading #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OT_KateT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_KateT @RebeccaCrouch or even when you are a student on placement. You do an evaluation for a patient in your final week... and then you won't see him/her again. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @DrCConnell: |
 | Annette McKinnon @anetto RT @hspenceruk: |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch Definitely! And it can be so varied. When I'm reading a journal article compared to a fictional book it's a very different occupation #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @DrCConnell @Cass_OT__ @RebeccaCrouch this brings up this question- what if you need an interpreter? Then, I think it will be the interpreter's responsibilities to make sure both sides are understood- you and the service user. #otalk |
| Libby Callaway (she/her) @libby_callaway @RebeccaCrouch Absolutely - although in the #COVID19 environment I am struck by the impact of #technology & online tasks on the opportunity for reading 'books' for both our children & myself #OTalk |
| Sam Pywell @smileyfacehalo @RebeccaCrouch It’s work. #otalk leisure is anything with pictures. https://t.co/pqFTAAsJt4 |
| Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @RebeccaCrouch To me reading is a very meaningful occupation, but not one I always find time for. #OTalk |
 | Mona Alkhudair @Mona_khudair RT @RJOTSeashell: |
| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @RebeccaCrouch Yes. It’s a meaningful occupation, probably even moreso if you choose what to read. Also, can probably learn something about a person by what types of books they enjoy reading. Of course, it gives us as chance to ask questions and establish rapport. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_KateT @dmay_ot @RebeccaCrouch in nursing home environment in my setting, it is not uncommon for long term care residents being on caseload 10+ times! #otalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @RebeccaCrouch On a semi-related note, I also started making books which is such an occupational joy it's incredible. new skills, creating things of beauty. #otalk |
| Annette McKinnon @anetto @GeekyOT @RebeccaCrouch Did you read ‘Severance’ by Ling Ma, or the sprawling ‘The Stand’. Dystopian fiction appeals to many but I never thought we’d be this close to it. #OTalk |
| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @RebeccaCrouch Personally, I love reading, especially when I was an introverted teenager. It gave me comfort. I think it was later on that I grew out of my shell and was able to socialize with more friends. I don’t get to do as much now, but I’m hoping to change that. #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @DrCConnell @Cass_OT__ @RebeccaCrouch I am lucky I am trilingual. So, when I have to use another language other than English clinically, I always try to find culturally acceptable words that the situations require. (I admit- I need to practice my Mandarin from time to time to make sure I am sharp!) #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Cass_OT__: |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @RebeccaCrouch Totally. Love reading. Rediscovered reading for pleasure sine graduation. I share with friends, with my children, I have a massive to-be-read- pile of work and non-work reading. If it's on my twitter feed and it's not OT, it's books !#otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Cass_OT__ @DrCConnell @RebeccaCrouch how about this- what if YOU are the interpreter for a work colleague? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OT_KateT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ A good reminder that narratives can be articulated in many forms #OTalk |
| Sam Pywell @smileyfacehalo Bingo |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch Gaining insight into different experiences #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_KateT @dmay_ot @RebeccaCrouch yes/no in my setting. If I am a regular in a nursing home, yes! If I am NOT, though, I still would have to figure things out as if they were there the first time. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Cass_OT__ @SPOTeurope haha- I stutter a bit last week too. My primary language is not English, you know. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Cass_OT__: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @EllietheOT: |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @Cass_OT__ @RebeccaCrouch @OTalk_ but with a kindle you can read under the covers at night! (I wouldn't be without proper books though) #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EllietheOT @RebeccaCrouch Adulthood is a different ball game. Each autistic adult has his/her personality. I know I can be quirky sometimes... though I try to stay professional because that's my ultimate responsibility. #otalk |
| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @Cass_OT__ @SPOTeurope I think English is tough! American Sign Language is so much more graceful, that’s just my opinion. Also, the grammar of ASL is more similar to French than English... believe it or not. #OTalk |
| Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @RebeccaCrouch I find the language and writing styles of different authors helpful to think about how I might word a conversation. Every now and then I discover a word or sentence that perfectly captures something I want to say and note it down for future reference. #OTalk |

| Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @EllietheOT @RebeccaCrouch Agree with this so much- such an insightful read! #OTalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @libby_callaway @RebeccaCrouch Has covid changed the way you read as a family? #otalk |
| Sam Pywell @smileyfacehalo @RebeccaCrouch #otalk productivity ninja |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SigningOTQueen @Cass_OT__ @SPOTeurope Unbiasedly speaking, I would say Chinese is tougher. I would say Cantonese is probably my hardest, followed by Mandarin, then English... if all things are equal. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @EllietheOT: |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch Reinventing Emma by @egee1. A first hand account of an occupational therapist who became the client following a stroke. So informative in considering how what you do impacts each client #otalk |
| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @BillWongOT @DrCConnell @Cass_OT__ @RebeccaCrouch There’s always going to be words that are lost in translation. That’s tough. There’s no appropriate sign for “OT” except finger-spelling “O-T” #Otalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy RT @EllietheOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EllietheOT @RebeccaCrouch At least you can tell your sister, "Hey! One of my work colleagues across the pond is also autistic." #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @SigningOTQueen: @BillWongOT @DrCConnell @Cass_OT__ @RebeccaCrouch There’s always going to be words that are lost in translation. That’s tough. There’s no appropriate sign for “OT” except finger-spelling “O-T” #Otalk |
| Annette McKinnon @anetto @GeekyOT @RebeccaCrouch Another is Station 11 by Emily St John Mandel. So interesting to me being set in Toronto to start, and with theatre as an integral element. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SigningOTQueen @DrCConnell @Cass_OT__ @RebeccaCrouch well- in Chinese, having to remember what translation (since we have 3) to apply is not easy. There's 1 for people from mainland China. 1 for Hong Kong, and 1 for other Chinese speaking countries. So I always ask where people are from if they are Chinese speaking. #otalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @SigningOTQueen @RebeccaCrouch I think as a child a lot of my friends were book characters! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @dmay_ot: @SigningOTQueen @RebeccaCrouch I think as a child a lot of my friends were book characters! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @erinjeandodds: |
| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @DrCConnell @BillWongOT @Cass_OT__ @RebeccaCrouch The problem is how do I sign “occupation” - I may have to expand and sign “involves everything that you do...” #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @DrCConnell @SigningOTQueen @Cass_OT__ @RebeccaCrouch When it comes to Chinese, I think full term is automatic. If abbreviation, I will just say OT instead. #Otalk |
| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @Cass_OT__ @margaretOT360 I’m use to work in Geriatrics... now I’m working in Early Intervention #OTalk |
| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @Cass_OT__ @margaretOT360 PS: sorry about the typo #Otalk |
| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @Cass_OT__ @SPOTeurope To be fair, Dutch, English and ASL are completely different languages! #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SigningOTQueen @DrCConnell @Cass_OT__ @RebeccaCrouch I have this difficulty with Chinese- Cantonese or Mandarin. So, I get around it by mentioning specific occupations instead. #otalk |
| Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @SusanGriffiths5 @RebeccaCrouch A boy made of blocks is a very interesting read! If I remember it's from the perspective of the father, but about how he uses playing minecraft to build their relationship. #OTalk |
| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @BillWongOT @DrCConnell @Cass_OT__ @RebeccaCrouch Smart. I end up signing “eating, brushing teeth, combing hair, getting dressed, going to the toilet, bathing” lol #Otalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch @egee1 Also, Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia by Marya Hornbacher. Such an impactful and real account of having an eating disorder. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SigningOTQueen @DrCConnell @Cass_OT__ @RebeccaCrouch in my case, it helps that I am a native speaker in Cantonese and more than competent in Mandarin. So that is my adaptation strategy! #otalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch It's very interesting! And Emma is still sharing her rehab journey via twitter #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Cass_OT__ That is why I adapted this practice when I attended both WFOT in 2014 and 2018. Whenever I see Mandarin speaking or Cantonese speaking OT's, I would speak to them in these languages instead of English. I want to pick up terminologies I would not have known from textbooks. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Cass_OT__ @SigningOTQueen @DrCConnell @RebeccaCrouch 9 tones for Cantonese and 5 for Mandarin. #otalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @nurse_r @RebeccaCrouch Is it even reading if there is no tea? #otalk |
| Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @RebeccaCrouch 'Creating magic' Developing leadership strategies that are used within the Disney company. I read it before starting a job with Disney- but have since went back to it, there excellent examples of how you treat others reflecting well on yourself. #OTalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot #OTalk this is interesting on therapeutic relationships and disclosure. Gripping but not always easy https://t.co/zvYcnpYWSa |
 | Cheryl Crow, Arthritis Life @realcc @RebeccaCrouch YES! #OTalk https://t.co/jdi2P7dS8q |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Not to cut across the conversation, but there's only 5 minutes left. Any final thoughts? #OTalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @OT_KateT @RebeccaCrouch @smileyfacehalo @DrCConnell @Cass_OT__ Vegetable gifs are something I didn't know I needed in my life until now. New meaningful occupation? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @nurse_r: |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @RebeccaCrouch @JasminLaffy I also really like Lisa Genoa's books. Fictional but written by a neurologust. #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @GeekyOT @DrCConnell @SigningOTQueen @Cass_OT__ @RebeccaCrouch @OTalk_ @HannahtheOT How similar is BSL vs. ASL... that will be the thing. #otalk |
| Cheryl Crow, Arthritis Life @realcc @RJOTSeashell @RebeccaCrouch Yes! #OTalk https://t.co/ZStiuaMCNo |
| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @RebeccaCrouch Tuesdays With Morrie An Unquiet Mind Brain on Fire I enjoyed the first because the person wanted to make his remaining time meaningful. The second two - really enjoyed reading about their first-person accounts regarding their struggles with mental health #Otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @colourful_ot @RebeccaCrouch and given we are in this pandemic... reading lips is not an option in some settings. :( #otalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @dmay_ot @RebeccaCrouch I have so many books to add to my want to read list now #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Well that's the official hour done. What a great discussion and so many good book recommendations. Thanks to @RebeccaCrouch for hosting. Don't forget the transcript will pick up any tweets with the #OTalk until tomorrow and will be available later in the week. |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot #otalk I have referred to Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series with a number of my teens - ADHD isn't a 'problem'- it's the result of being a demi-god with finely tuned reflexes that need checking and moves practicing at all times. ADHD=superpower |
 | Louise @oomooeatingcake RT @JasminLaffy: @dmay_ot @RebeccaCrouch I have so many books to add to my want to read list now #otalk |
| Cheryl Crow, Arthritis Life @realcc @RebeccaCrouch Right now I have to say The Happiness Trap @the_hap_trap by Russ Harris, which is about #AcceptanceAndCommitment therapy, a mindfulness and meaningful values based approach which is SO congruent with occupational therapy! #OTalk https://t.co/eVd0YWb2v9 |
| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @BillWongOT @GeekyOT @DrCConnell @Cass_OT__ @RebeccaCrouch @OTalk_ @HannahtheOT ASL and BSL are so different. For example, ASL you sign all letters using one hand, and BSL two. Whew, I put up a Twitter video of me signing a greeting in BSL... I had to learn each word. #Otalk |

| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @Cass_OT__ @SPOTeurope I learned ASL in college! English is my first language #Otalk :) |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch Thanks for hosting! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Probably true for many of us from tonights #OTalk. Transforming the transcript into a book reading wish list. |
| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @BillWongOT @colourful_ot @RebeccaCrouch Absolutely. That’s why I advocate providers to team up in 2, and learn relevant gestures and signs- to expedite and ensure accuracy in communication... #Otalk |
| Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @RebeccaCrouch Thank you for hosting! And thank you all for extending my reading list by a mile!!! #OTalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @OTalk_ That would be amazing if you could share it! #otalk |
| Libby Callaway (she/her) @libby_callaway @dmay_ot @RebeccaCrouch COVID has changed our time use significantly in the early stages of rapid #OccupationalTherapy service & school education redesign (whilst working & studying from home) but our night time routines, including reading, remain #OTalk |
| Louise @oomooeatingcake Thanks everyone! #OTalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch @dmay_ot We need an #otalk about movies and podcasts now to get us all through quarantine #otalk |
| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @Cass_OT__ @margaretOT360 I forgot to include earlier... OT in #EI focuses on embedded coaching, so techniques that the family can use during their routines, and the child can learn those skills through play. #Otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @JasminLaffy The #OTalk transcript will be available later this week but unfortunately we will each need to review it individually to make a book wish reading list |
| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @HannahtheOT @BillWongOT @GeekyOT @DrCConnell @Cass_OT__ @RebeccaCrouch @OTalk_ It’s all right that’s there’s no one sign. I simply expand and sign examples of occupation... and then I sign “teach those skills, or help you be able to do them safely and as independently as you can” #Otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Well done @RebeccaCrouch. A great #OTalk |
| 👋 Cindy OT 🤟 @SigningOT @BillWongOT @Cass_OT__ @SPOTeurope I only know Mandarin, but I’m not fluent. Mandarin only has 4 tones, but I struggle with that lol #Otalk |
| Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @SigningOTQueen @DrCConnell @BillWongOT @Cass_OT__ @RebeccaCrouch I find myself doing the same thing in attempt to capture what occupational therapy is, rather than nodding along and having the full explanation missed #OTalk |
| Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @RebeccaCrouch That would be wonderful! #OTalk |
| Annette McKinnon @anetto @RebeccaCrouch I was so busy looking at the books I stopped chatting. A very interesting bunch. #OTalk |
| Sam Pywell @smileyfacehalo Is it possible to #otalk @otalk about the impact of lockdown on the individual and occupations?... is anyone doing this as an #otalk ?? |
 | Lisa Forrest OT 🌈 @LisaForrestOT Love this Gillian 👍🏻 |
 | Alison Janes @kaleidoscopier @SigningOTQueen @margaretOT360 Late to the #OTalk party (as ever) - depends on the person/situation obviously, but could you could explain it as the story of why/how you do [occupation], or the story of why you do [occupation] that way? |

 | Emma Gee @egee1 RT @JasminLaffy: @RebeccaCrouch Reinventing Emma by @egee1. A first hand account of an occupational therapist who became the client following a stroke. So informative in considering how what you do impacts each client #otalk |
 | Nix 🤓 @thisisnix @RebeccaCrouch @OTalk_ Absolutely. Libraries & bookstores are some of my favourite places to be in for hrs. 💚 #Reading #OTalk https://t.co/eGpMTA84hq |

 | Aimee @aimeespeechie Interesting that Narratives are also important for OT. |
 | DrDr (😊)Wendy Mitchell @WendyPMitchell So kind of you thank you 🙏 🤗 |
