 | STUDENTS- OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY @StudentOTs Looking forward to this chat as I am interested in working in this setting @RRule_OT #OTalk @OTalk_ |
 | Mental Health OT 💚 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 |
| Solei OT 💙💛 @soleinj_ RT @OTalk_: #OTalk 15 mins till it’s time chat About the use of sensory based interventions in psychiatric settings. With @RRule_OT and me @OT_rach on support https://t.co/XPYD3RLbNO |
 | Sheila White @Sheila_I_White @OTalk_ @RRule_OT @OT_rach #OTalk lurking here. Interested in finding out more |
 | Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT @OTalk_ @RRule_OT @OT_rach Hi 👋🏿 #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 |
| Dr Alison Warren @alisonfwarren RT @Sheila_I_White: @OTalk_ @RRule_OT @OT_rach #OTalk lurking here. Interested in finding out more |
 | 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 |
| Dr Alison Warren @alisonfwarren Am listening in to learn more about different settings appkying these approaches #OTalk |
| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT @RRule_OT Yes, I’ve 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 |
| Dr Alison Warren @alisonfwarren Used these approaches for people of all ages with dementia in the past. On wards & at home #OTalk @OTPlymouthUni |
 | Hannah Kay @HannahKayOT @RRule_OT Yes I've seen it used in forensic mental health women's service. Currently doing a sensory modulation assessment with a service user. #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 |
 | OT PlymouthUni @OTPlymouthUni RT @alisonfwarren: Used these approaches for people of all ages with dementia in the past. On wards & at home #OTalk @OTPlymouthUni |
| 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 💚 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) 💙 @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 |
| Dr Alison Warren @alisonfwarren RT @NormaMai_: @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 |
 | Emma Dawson @emmadawsot RT @OTalk_: Use the # not the @ #Otalk |
| Rachel OT @_rachelOT Q2. What do you perceive to be the barriers or benefits to using sensory based interventions in your specific setting? What made you chose to (or chose not to) use them with individuals previously? #otalk |
| Emma Hall @Emm_OT @HannahKayOT @RRule_OT #OTalk sounds interesting. What ax do you use? |
| Dr Alison Warren @alisonfwarren #OTalk really interesting to hear this example @PIELRes |
 | HCSM News @HCSMnews RT @alisonfwarren: #OTalk really interesting to hear this example @PIELRes |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2 here - #OTalk |
| Laura D @Smalls_OT @RRule_OT ➖ Concept sometimes complicated to explain to some. Particularly arousal level and how this should go up and down throughout the day relevant to what we are doing. #OTalk |
| Laura D @Smalls_OT @RRule_OT ➕ Very useful pre Psychological therapy such as DBT, EMDR. Can gain lots of coping strategies which can be very effective #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @NaomiOT24 you need to put the hashtag in all you tweets to join in the conversations. #OTalk |
| Emma Hall @Emm_OT @RRule_OT #OTalk limited guidance for implementation and evidence base. |
 | Megan Fowler @megrfowler @NormaMai_ @RRule_OT @NaomiOT24 I've not long started working in adult acute mental health, we have a sensory room in place which I'm interested in using more once I'm settled into the role! #OTalk |
 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Late to the party. #otalk |
| Mental Health OT 💚 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 |
| Rachel OT @_rachelOT RT @NormaMai_: @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 |
| Rachel OT @_rachelOT RT @Smalls_OT: @RRule_OT ➕ Very useful pre Psychological therapy such as DBT, EMDR. Can gain lots of coping strategies which can be very effective #OTalk |
| Katie Crowfoot @katie_crowfoot @RRule_OT #OTalk Barriers - resources, patients engagement, staff buy in from rest of MDT. Benefits- faster recovery, reduced costs on medication, faster recovery, reduced readmissions rates. More practice strategies to managing behaviour, triggers and symptoms. |
 | Jade @JadeH_OT @Smalls_OT @RRule_OT Good point - do you also find the way people present these arousal levels can also be very different? #OTalk |
 | Lucy Howell @howell_lucy @RRule_OT I have used as compensatory strategies, secondary community mental health #otalk |
| Dr Alison Warren @alisonfwarren RT @katie_crowfoot: @RRule_OT #OTalk Barriers - resources, patients engagement, staff buy in from rest of MDT. Benefits- faster recovery, reduced costs on medication, faster recovery, reduced readmissions rates. More practice strategies to managing behaviour, triggers and symptoms. |

Benefits- faster recovery, reduced costs on medication, faster recovery, reduced readmissions rates. More practice strategies to managing behaviour, triggers and symptoms. |
| 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 |
| Laura D @Smalls_OT @RRule_OT Often chose SI based interventions based on VdT MoCA Level, also based on risk. On reflection I think I was more likely to use with lower levels of ability and people who were deprived based on their risks (e.g: Long term segregation) #OTalk |
| Laura D @Smalls_OT @MillennialOT @RRule_OT @Tchamp13 Yes! definitely! #OTalk |
 | Jenna d'Oliveira @jennadOliveira #OTalk Just saying Hi 👋 for now. . . Very interesting topic though |
 | Naomi OT @NaomiOT24 @RRule_OT @NormaMai_ and I barriers are space and funding... finding appropriate space for people to explore sensory approaches and being able to fund the session! #OTalk |
| 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 |
| Lucy Howell @howell_lucy @RRule_OT #otalk barriers- belief in effectiveness both clients and staff. Benefits - quick to have an impact, especially on emotions |
| Laura D @Smalls_OT @JadeH_OT @RRule_OT Yes I guess so, I found it very difficult with some who often perceived we wanted them to be ‘Just Right’ all the time, and never go into blue/red zones despite the need to at times e.g if you was going to sleep #OTalk |
| Hannah Kay @HannahKayOT In my forensic placement it seems a big barrier is the restrictive environment , however, they are able to overcome this by having care plans in place to ensure the environment is suited to the service users sensory profile. #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 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Smalls_OT: @RRule_OT ➖ Concept sometimes complicated to explain to some. Particularly arousal level and how this should go up and down throughout the day relevant to what we are doing. #OTalk |
| Jade @JadeH_OT @eleanorramsell Did you learn much about sensory in your degree? I am about to go into 3rd year and we only had a brief intro to it. I think these discussions are helping to understand why everyone should have more sensory awareness, as every client has diff sensory needs! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Smalls_OT: @RRule_OT ➕ Very useful pre Psychological therapy such as DBT, EMDR. Can gain lots of coping strategies which can be very effective #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @howell_lucy: @RRule_OT I have used as compensatory strategies, secondary community mental health #otalk |
| Rachel OT @_rachelOT Q3. What do you feel the role of the Occupational Therapist should be in facilitating sensory based interventions? #otalk |
| Laura D @Smalls_OT @karenbeaulieuOT @RRule_OT Yes, lots of work done in practice I reckon, but little research. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3 #OTalk |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody RT @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 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 |
| Jade @JadeH_OT @Smalls_OT @RRule_OT That's such a good point, the zones are very helpful for explaining things- thankyou for the insight 😀#Otalk |
| Laura D @Smalls_OT @thebakerstron @RRule_OT & for us informed aspects our whole service model. It was a huge part of co-regulation before then learning to self-regulate. #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 |
| Hannah Kay @HannahKayOT Benefits is that it allows the service users to find coping strategies or realise what may make them have a sensory overload. Sensory based interventions may also be beneficial when working with people who have self harming behaviours. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @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 |
| Laura D @Smalls_OT @thebakerstron @RRule_OT Yes, they fit very well! (Literally just catching up on your previous tweets!) #OTalk |
| Mental Health OT 💚 Norma @NormaMai_OT RT @Smalls_OT: @RRule_OT ➕ Very useful pre Psychological therapy such as DBT, EMDR. Can gain lots of coping strategies which can be very effective #OTalk |
| Dr Alison Warren @alisonfwarren 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 |
| #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 don’t forget #OTalk IN ALL TWEETS. https://t.co/umqISuhZhc |
| Naomi OT @NaomiOT24 @megrfowler @NormaMai_ @RRule_OT This is amazing! This is what we’re working towards - hopefully! 🤞 please let us know what interventions you use in there 😁 #OTalk |
| Laura D @Smalls_OT @karenbeaulieuOT @RRule_OT @PIELRes One for the research questions book! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @HannahKayOT: Benefits is that it allows the service users to find coping strategies or realise what may make them have a sensory overload. Sensory based interventions may also be beneficial when working with people who have self harming behaviours. #otalk |
| Jenna d'Oliveira @jennadOliveira @NormaMai_ This would be awesome #OTalk |
| Katie Crowfoot @katie_crowfoot @OTalk_ I think OT are key to implementing the sensory based interventions, educating the team in learning, but also making the interventions realistic i.e. into everyday life occupations so that the patient can learn to incorporate into everyday routine. #OTalk |
| Laura D @Smalls_OT @thebakerstron @RRule_OT @JadeMarie_R @CharCarpenter Your new post links defiantly understand the benefits of SI Regulation; particularly when looking through attachment and trauma perspective. #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 |
| Hannah Kay @HannahKayOT As well as in my current placement, I've also seen sensory based interventions used within older adults mental health. #OTalk |
| K-OT (she, her) 💙 @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: @OTalk_ I think OT are key to implementing the sensory based interventions, educating the team in learning, but also making the interventions realistic i.e. into everyday life occupations so that the patient can learn to incorporate into everyday routine. #OTalk |

| 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 |
| Lucy Howell @howell_lucy @RRule_OT #otalk - with adults - oppertunities to explore, educate and facilitate some self discovery |
| 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 @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 RT @howell_lucy: @RRule_OT #otalk - with adults - oppertunities to explore, educate and facilitate some self discovery |
| Laura D @Smalls_OT @OTalk_ we have knowledge, so sharing, role modelling the benefits (particularly in challenging/crisis situations). It was lovely to hear our colleagues ring us because they didn’t know what else to do, then a simple intervention from SI perspective had massive benefits. #Otalk |
| Laura D @Smalls_OT So Important within adult MH! Make functional. #OTalk |
 | Phil King @philking53 @RRule_OT #Otalk sorry forgot the hashtag! |
| Mental Health OT 💚 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 |
 | Jessika Lack @JessikaLack_OT @RRule_OT Work in high dependency rehabilitation (locked rehab), we definitely use sensory based approaches, mainly in 1:1s (service users with tactile hallucinations, anxiety, ASC) or as part of our recovery and wellbeing group, letting individuals learn more about themselves #OTalk |

| Rachel OT @_rachelOT Q4. Do you believe that sensory based interventions could reduce the use of seclusion and restraint in your area of practice? If yes, how could this be demonstrated to the wider team? #otalk |
| Naomi OT @NaomiOT24 @RRule_OT #otalk - preventing readmissions by empowering people to self-regulate, find alternative ways to manage their mental health and explore new interests |
| K-OT (she, her) 💙 @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 |
| Dr Alison Warren @alisonfwarren Be great to see examples of successful strategies shared in OTNews or something similar #OTalk @karenbeaulieuOT |
| Jessika Lack @JessikaLack_OT @RRule_OT Specific training (commissioners and NHS England wanting specific sensory integration work for service users) however due to banding level unable to acquire funding. Resources (limited space, time and money!) #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 |
| Laura D @Smalls_OT @alisonfwarren @karenbeaulieuOT We used an example for #ValueofOT would have been over 18months ago now #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 |
| Jade @JadeH_OT @NormaMai_ @RRule_OT Thats such an important point, something I had not thought about before, thankyou. #Otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 4 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @JadeH_OT: @NormaMai_ @RRule_OT Thats such an important point, something I had not thought about before, thankyou. #Otalk |
| Dr Alison Warren @alisonfwarren Many thanks will look this up #OTalk |
| Jessika Lack @JessikaLack_OT @RRule_OT Education, helping people learn about themselves and others (in particular other members of MDT or caters/ family). Exploration, providing opportunities and experiences in the act of ‘doing’. #OTalk |
| K-OT (she, her) 💙 @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 |
| Katie Crowfoot @katie_crowfoot @RRule_OT YES! I've seen the reduction of seclusion. But you need to get staff buy in... The only way I've found to prove this is by investing my time... Through observations, feedback to the team what I've observed and pre guessing incidents. De-brief/reflect with team, takes time #OTalk |

| Naomi OT @NaomiOT24 @RRule_OT #otalk Yes! I really do feel that it can reduce V&A. We’re auditing the impact of sensory integrations to highlight the reduction of incidents. We’re hoping to have sensory ax soon after admission and have it written in to care plans so that they client remains in control too. |
| Laura D @Smalls_OT @NormaMai_ @RRule_OT Defiantly something to consider. we saw a lot of distress and ways of regulating in the environment which were negative (e.g: seclusion to reduce sensory input, restraint for proprioceptive input). Think it’s useful to consider that it could be a positive risk to take #OTalk |
| Mental Health OT 💚 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 |

| Laura D @Smalls_OT @RRule_OT Defiantly. More research needs to be done to evidence this #OTalk |
| 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 |

| Hannah Kay @HannahKayOT Yes! There was a service user who actually loved to be restrained because of the sensory input and the feeling it gave her. Once they understood the reasoning and what could give them a similar feeling - they didn't get restrained anymore. #otalk |
| Jessika Lack @JessikaLack_OT @RRule_OT We don’t have seclusion and I personally only been in a restraint once. Least restrictive practice possible but PICU in same NHS trust RC has found reduction of seclusion by 75% brining her dog to work #PATDog #OTalk sensory interventions help engagement with talking therapies! |

| Naomi OT @NaomiOT24 This is really great #OTalk - thank you for sharing. Good way to discuss sensory interventions with clients & staff to help them understand it. |
| Emma Hall @Emm_OT @kalessandram @RRule_OT #OTalk absolutely. SI goes so much further than the blanket label and can easily be diluted. I think many of us don't feel that we have enough knowledge in this area. |

| Jade @JadeH_OT @RRule_OT If some research could back this up strongly, it would be so pivotal for alot of practice areas! (#shallwechangeourresearchtopicnow)#Otalk |
 | Julie-Anne Lowe @julieannelowe1 @OTalk_ @RRule_OT @OT_rach Hello! Late to the party tonight so having a kirk through the posts #OTalk |
| Hannah Kay @HannahKayOT I think you have a care plan and supportive MDT in order to achieve this though. This could be demonstrated by educating the teams on the results of sensory based interventions with psychiatric patients. We need more research!!!! #otalk |
| Laura D @Smalls_OT Sorry only a little bit here now! Forgot I needed to help the husband! #OTalk |
| Mental Health OT 💚 Norma @NormaMai_OT RT @Smalls_OT: @NormaMai_ @RRule_OT Defiantly something to consider. we saw a lot of distress and ways of regulating in the environment which were negative (e.g: seclusion to reduce sensory input, restraint for proprioceptive input). Think it’s useful to consider that it could be a positive risk to take #OTalk |
 | Patricia Regan @PatriciaRegan RT @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 |
| 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 |

| Rachel OT @_rachelOT Wow! That hour has flown by. Final Q. 5 How would you envision the assessment & implementation of sensory based interventions in your current practice setting? Do you think that this would be supported by the MDT? #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 |

| Laura D @Smalls_OT @NormaMai_ @RRule_OT To add the positive risk = using SI and developing strategies to manage which can be transferable. #OTalk |
| K-OT (she, her) 💙 @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. |

| Sheila White @Sheila_I_White @kalessandram @RRule_OT #OTalk that's a concern I have. Got to be overriding focus on participation in occupation and sensory strategies as a means to enabling this. |
| 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! |

| Katie Crowfoot @katie_crowfoot @RRule_OT sensory ladder, sensory preferences checklist, assessment of areas identify, observe how patient interacts with. Spend time on wards implementing whilst explaining all the time to staff. offer a week of your time (2full days will be enough, but team will buy in to plan!) #OTalk |
| 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 |
| Naomi OT @NaomiOT24 @KwakuOT @MillennialOT @RRule_OT @Tchamp13 #OTalk I agree re research. I think that in MH we discuss a lot of sensory needs without it consciously being a sensory intervention ie self harm, personal care, mindfulness. I think @Tchamp13 research is amazing but sensory approaches vary from person to person, day to day! |

| Jessika Lack @JessikaLack_OT @BillWongOT @RRule_OT Very much supported by MDT.. just need to make sure understanding is clear and that all follow appropriate care plans and try to consider sensory profiles during engagement (ideal environmental or set up of engagement). Gardening with one SU in particular #OTalk |

| Tori the OT @Tori_Doll_ @RRule_OT I have definitely seen a difference in occ performance for specific s.users that I have used SI based interventions with. However, as a profession we definitely need to promote this more & contribute to the evidenced base. It's a huge area within forensic services! #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 |
| Phil King @philking53 @lookhearaust @RRule_OT Consistent is the key word there but is often the most challenging to achieve with a large staff team! #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 |

| Jessika Lack @JessikaLack_OT @YvetteHaynesOT @RRule_OT We had something like this in our NHS trust. Sensory based approaches in OT offered by particular by OTs in learning disability services (funded to provide SI as part of directorate). This was open to all OTs across the trust! Great get together and learning for all #OTalk |
| Autismum @Autismum1 @RRule_OT #OTalk. I think it would be supported by the MDT. In Sussex we have a huge proportion of people who really struggle to manage their emotions and hurt them self in an attempt to make it stop. Many are not ready to tolerate psychology. A more skills development group is needed. |
| K-OT (she, her) 💙 @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, |
| Participation in Every Day Life Research Group @PIELRes @OTalk_ A priority area for research! @karenbeaulieuOT #OTalk |
| Jade @JadeH_OT @OTalk_ That has flown by! Thanks @OTalk_ and @RRule_OT - what an interesting discussion! 😄#OTalk |
| Emma Hall @Emm_OT @OTalk_ #OTalk building the evidence base and training! |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Times up, can we Thank @RRule_OT for hosting tonight, great job!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #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) 💙 @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 |
| Naomi OT @NaomiOT24 @RRule_OT We have amazing sensory assessments that are evidence based and developed by @NormaMai_ - they are user friendly and give people options to answer closed questions (exploratory) or give lots of examples (competence) for their sensory preferences. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ This is @OT_rach logging off, great chat tonight, and thanks for remembering the #OTalk 😜 https://t.co/ApwiWQ0oJr |
| Katie Crowfoot @katie_crowfoot #OTalk this would make a really interesting OT conference topic day like the OT and Personality disorder one done earlier in the year. Getting OT's together to discuss share and develop skills would be amazing! |
| Hannah Kay @HannahKayOT First time joining #otalk tonight! I've always lurked in the background but really enjoyed it. Thanks! |
| Participation in Every Day Life Research Group @PIELRes @RRule_OT @OTalk_ 👍🏻Great chat, thanks! @karenbeaulieuOT #OTalk |
| 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 💚 Norma @NormaMai_OT I think a sensory based component would provide invaluable information in our initial assessments #OTalk #HillingdonOTs |
 | Jade Reilly @JadeMarie_R @thebakerstron @MillennialOT @RRule_OT #OTalk there are a vast number of domains measured using VdTMoCA APOM which sensory intervention could impact upon - risk management as identified by @Smalls_OT and another specific area to pay attention to could be communication/ interaction skills. |
| K-OT (she, her) 💙 @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 |
| Hannah Kay @HannahKayOT RT @katie_crowfoot: #OTalk this would make a really interesting OT conference topic day like the OT and Personality disorder one done earlier in the year. Getting OT's together to discuss share and develop skills would be amazing! |
| Phil King @philking53 @lookhearaust @RRule_OT Sorry that's quite a pessimistic tweet! To get round this I strive to be consistently motivated towards sharing my knowledge with others, providing personal examples from my sensory self! #OTalk |
| Rachel OT @_rachelOT Thank you all so much for getting involved in this evenings #OTalk - your input has been fantastic! Looking forward to reading through the transcript. Hopefully we will all try to get involved in research in this area to promote its powerful impact in improving lives ☺️ |
 | ASI WISE @asi_wise RT @OTPlymouthUni: Very excited that one of our students @RRule_OT features on @OTalk_ this week to discuss the use of Sensory Based Interventions in Psychiatric Settings! Don’t miss it on the 31st July at 8pm! #OT #OTalk #UCAS #clearing #CPD https://t.co/TiX4IYw6o1 |
| Phil King @philking53 @lookhearaust @RRule_OT The effect can resemble Twitter! One person passes onto 2 others and the domino's keep going! #OTalk #changeagent |
| Mental Health OT 💚 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 🔆 |
| 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 |
