| #OTalk @OTalk_ Right, lets get this show on the road! @RRule_OT its over to you! #OTalk https://t.co/ObVTb2ZLJx |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1 #OTalk |
 | Mental Health OT π Norma @NormaMai_OT Would love to get input regarding sensory strategies that can really support people to manage self-injury, those we can explore in inpatient settings that can be easily transferred into every day life in community #OTalk |
 | Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT @OTalk_ @RRule_OT @OT_rach Hi ππΏ #OTalk |
 | Orla @orlatheot @RRule_OT Not yet, I am on a male mental health rehabilitation ward and we offer to do sensory checklists with patients. #OTalk |
 | Look Hear Global & Look Hear Australia @lookhearaust @OTalk_ I work in Paeds and we use it all the time, though I am interviewing next week for a psychiatric hospital for children and young people. I could see the implications but really here tonight to watch and learn from people already working in the area :) #OTalk |
| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT @RRule_OT Yes, Iβve Used It Often In My Work With People With Learning Disabilities And Also In Mental Health Rehab Settings...I Have Also Observed And Used It Briefly During My Placement Working With Young Offenders In Prison. #OTalk |
 | Patrick Ngari @mainap65 RT @OTalk_: This is great and self discipline to undertake self directed learning is very important. And I personally believe it increases motivation and passion for our work #otalk https://t.co/9WEbdmdyRc |
| Yvette Haynes @YvetteHaynesOT @RRule_OT I am an O.T Assistant working in mental health and O.T student. I am very interested in learning more about how SI interventions are used in mental health. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @emmadawsot you need to use the hashtag #Otalk in all your tweets otherwise your tweets will not be seen by others, the # is the only thing you need to use @ will not work |
| Patrick Ngari @mainap65 RT @OTalk_: Latest blog from @CupOTservices on the #OTalk team session #RCOT2018. https://t.co/zsPFoyKRig |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Use the # not the @ #Otalk |
| Mental Health OT π Norma @NormaMai_OT @RRule_OT I am new to adult acute mental health, we are exploring the use of sensory strategies more and more with @NaomiOT24 leading on this! #OTalk |
 | K-OT (she, her) π @kalessandram @RRule_OT i work in learning disabilities, currently in intensive support service and inpatient unit. I use a variety of sensory based interventions, depending on the individual. #OTalk |
 | rap stars @rapstarsca RT @alisonfwarren: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2 here - #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @NaomiOT24 you need to put the hashtag in all you tweets to join in the conversations. #OTalk |
 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Late to the party. #otalk |
| Mental Health OT π Norma @NormaMai_OT @RRule_OT Increasing self-awareness and empowering people to identify their needs and self-manage emotions / symptoms is so important, especially for discharge. I think a barrier could be cost, need for more research within the UK and training! #OTalk |
| Yvette Haynes @YvetteHaynesOT @RRule_OT The O.Ts need for SI training in order to practice SI may create a barrier to adopting a sensory approach within O.T in mental health services. Mental Health Trusts would need to invest money in training and study leave. The online SI training program may help with this #OTalk |
| Look Hear Global & Look Hear Australia @lookhearaust @OTalk_ #OTalk I think one of the barriers is other professionals not taking OT seriously/not knowing what we do/ you are just doing XYZ - how will that help etc, I get that even from teachers and other professionals |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RRule_OT When I was in mental health, it was definitely used. However, in my current setting, not so much. #otalk |
 | Jenna d'Oliveira @jennadOliveira #OTalk Just saying Hi π for now. . . Very interesting topic though |
| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT @MillennialOT @OTalk_ I Agree...At Times, It Is More About Teaching People About All The Different Things They Can Use As Coping Strategies Rather Than Pure Interventions To Bring About Changes In Behaviours. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RRule_OT Because I have to go around different nursing homes, hard to set such goals because of uncertainty of follow through from the rest of the teams that are regular staffs there. #otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RRule_OT Education is one- in service can be helpful to share knowledge with other staffs in the same setting. #otalk |
| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT @MillennialOT @RRule_OT @Tchamp13 It Really Does Come Down To Purely Personal Preferences I Believe Regardless Of The Research I Believe...Sensory Preferences Differ Soo Widely That To Capture And Align Protocol Would Be Such A Massive Piece Of Work For Anyone To Undertake. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RRule_OT And caregiver education (when applicable) is also important because sometimes you want to see if there is carryover from your sessions. #otalk |

| Mental Health OT π Norma @NormaMai_OT RT @Smalls_OT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Some are forgetting to include the # in their tweets if you miss it out, your tweet will not be seen, and it will not go on the transcript of conversation so donβt forget #OTalk IN ALL TWEETS. https://t.co/umqISuhZhc |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @HannahKayOT: |
| Jenna d'Oliveira @jennadOliveira @NormaMai_ This would be awesome #OTalk |
| Look Hear Global & Look Hear Australia @lookhearaust @RRule_OT #OTalk teaching, showing, evidencing, and implementing these interventions with our clients, we know they work and we need to champion how these interventions are a non-invasive way to help |
| K-OT (she, her) π @kalessandram @RRule_OT i think it can be really beneficial in to helping the individuals develop or add to their own coping strategies. I trial strategies with the individidual and we explore what is calming and use this with a sensory ladder. I add this to a PPBS &crisis plan #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @katie_crowfoot: |

| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT @eleanorramsell This Is Interesting To Hear...Similarly In The Prison, The OT Experienced Difficultly Getting Some Items...At Times Makes It Tricky But Also Creative At The Same Time! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @kalessandram @RRule_OT I was on the receiving end of this once upon a time. That is one of the few things I needed to be a qualified OT. #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @howell_lucy: |
| Mental Health OT π Norma @NormaMai_OT @RRule_OT Also I wouldn't feel 100% sure about the safest use of sensory strategies with some individuals e. g. people who have been through trauma such as sexual abuse and the potential risk that exploring some sensory strategies could trigger feelings /memories e.g. deep pressure #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Smalls_OT: |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @JessikaLack_OT: |
| K-OT (she, her) π @kalessandram @RRule_OT barriers are it being used as a one size fits all approach and undermining why we are doing it - not looking at the individual's needs in relation to occupation, ie non OTs seeking to give out weighted items to all without the expertise, individual assessment or guidance. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT #otalk |
| Yvette Haynes @YvetteHaynesOT @RRule_OT I have seen SafeWards calm down sensory boxes used on wards to help people relax, lower their levels of agitation and arousal. SI O.Ts could take sensory interventions a lot further by making them more personalised & related to peoples valued occupations to enable recovery #OTalk |
| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT @MillennialOT @RRule_OT @Tchamp13 This Looks Good...Perhaps Picking One Thing To Focus On May Be The Start To Trigger Everything Else...Like A Domino Effect. Will Look Into This When I Start My New Role. Something Like The Self Love Is What I Found The Young Offenders To Be Lacking So Could Look At That...#OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 4 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @JadeH_OT: |
| K-OT (she, her) π @kalessandram @RRule_OT also unless we can clearly explain our clinical reasoning, what we are doing and why with good knowledge of sensory approaches & neuroscience and how it enables person to particiapte in occupations there is a risk of being asked to just focus on sensory not occupation #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RRule_OT I think so... especially if you find good matches. #otalk |
| Mental Health OT π Norma @NormaMai_OT @RRule_OT Agree with all the above! back to basics- to help people to engage in activity e. g. people with sensory avoidant traits may isolate themselves and not engage in activities in busy envirnmnts. . by addressing this sensory need, it may help them to increase engagement! #OTalk |
| Mental Health OT π Norma @NormaMai_OT RT @BillWongOT: @RRule_OT And caregiver education (when applicable) is also important because sometimes you want to see if there is carryover from your sessions. #otalk |
| Mental Health OT π Norma @NormaMai_OT RT @NaomiOT24: |
| Look Hear Global & Look Hear Australia @lookhearaust @RRule_OT I do!! I have seen it reduce both seclusion and restraint! But the most successful times was staff buy in, regular and consistent use of the interventions and regular feedback between the team and OT #OTalk |

| Mental Health OT π Norma @NormaMai_OT RT @Smalls_OT: |
| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT @RRule_OT OTs Have To Feel Confident About What They Are Observing And Hearing From The Client About Thier Sensory Preference Before Attempting To Facilitate Interventions To Decrease Seclusion & Restraint. Also Clearly Articulating Clinical Reasoning Would Be Of Upmost Importance. #OTalk |

| Yvette Haynes @YvetteHaynesOT @RRule_OT MDTs who have an awareness and understanding of their SU's sensory needs and preferences may be able to find more therapeutic and creative ways to de-escalate situations. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 5 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RRule_OT If I were in an ideal situation, a rehab meeting in service would have been appropriate. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @YvetteHaynesOT: @RRule_OT MDTs who have an awareness and understanding of their SU's sensory needs and preferences may be able to find more therapeutic and creative ways to de-escalate situations. #OTalk |
| K-OT (she, her) π @kalessandram @RRule_OT Yes definitely, i have seen the impact, particularly when it is used proactively as part of someone's care plan. I think when someone is acutily unwell cognititive strategies are not effective. We need to communicate our resoning and document it. show impact pre & post #otalk |
| Yvette Haynes @YvetteHaynesOT @RRule_OT SUs who are empowered to understand their own sensory needs and preferences as part of their Care Plan can work with their O.T or MDT to prevent harm and the need for seclusion or restraint #OTalk. |
| Look Hear Global & Look Hear Australia @lookhearaust @OTalk_ #OTalk we mainly use the SPM or SP and get okay take up..... I think though having a specific assessments related to our populations would be more helpful (for the MDT), would like to hear everyones thoughts! |
| Yvette Haynes @YvetteHaynesOT @RRule_OT Could SI O.Ts lead SI awareness training to their wider team? I think I read some where that some mental health services in New Zealand have done this... #Otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ 5mins left any finial thoughts? #OTalk https://t.co/HJal9T0h3U |
| Look Hear Global & Look Hear Australia @lookhearaust RT @OTalk_: #OTalk |
| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT @RRule_OT Possibly Helping MDT Members To Be Aware Of The Impact Thier Own Sensory Preferences May Have On Them May In Turn Heighten Their Awareness Of The Impact & Importance Regulation Of Senses May Be For The Clients. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @JessikaLack_OT @RRule_OT In my setting, gardening might not always been an option as a treatment option. #otalk |
| K-OT (she, her) π @kalessandram @RRule_OT It needs to be part of the care pathway, it part of the initial screening as could be impacting on participation in occupation and if so the reason for further assessment and intervention is clearly communicated. #otalk Used to empower our clients, |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Times up, can we Thank @RRule_OT for hosting tonight, great job!! ππ½ππ½ππ½ #OTalk The transcript will be added to the blog for you to down load later in the week. https://t.co/WQ0PYnn5Xu |
| K-OT (she, her) π @kalessandram @RRule_OT i think we need to be explaining it to our MDT collegues and linking with evidence and occupation. I find getting them to understand theri own sensory preferences and experience some of the strategies themselves helps. Showing the difference to clients and audtiing #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ This is @OT_rach logging off, great chat tonight, and thanks for remembering the #OTalk π https://t.co/ApwiWQ0oJr |
| Yvette Haynes @YvetteHaynesOT @JessikaLack_OT @RRule_OT That sounds fantastic! Perhaps this is something O.Ts working in other NHS Trusts could request. #OTalk |
| Mental Health OT π Norma @NormaMai_OT I think a sensory based component would provide invaluable information in our initial assessments #OTalk #HillingdonOTs |
| K-OT (she, her) π @kalessandram @RRule_OT #otalk giving a voice to clients who often already know and try to seek what regulates them and making a plan to use the effective ones , it can be very empowering. Looking with the individual at what sensory activites meet their needs in the communty , eg joining a running club |
| Mental Health OT π Norma @NormaMai_OT @RRule_OT Thank you for facilitating this wonderful #OTalk - it was my first time participating but it definitely won't be my last. So insightful and really got me thinking. Best of luck for the future, it is definitely bright π |
| Yvette Haynes @YvetteHaynesOT @kalessandram @RRule_OT Would the O.T need to be a qualified SI practitioner to integrate the assessment & implementation of sensory based interventions within the care pathway and initial screening? Or could the O.T have gained their sensory knowledge through other courses or work experience? #OTalk |
| Yvette Haynes @YvetteHaynesOT @RRule_OT Thank you, I have enjoyed being a part of it and learning from everyone involved! #OTalk |
