| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @LucyJPearce: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @ColledgeRebecca @Kirstie_OT @MulryMary Welcome aboard boat #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @StricklandPaula @Kirstie_OT @MulryMary How brilliant! You will love the OT world! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @StricklandPaula @Kirstie_OT @MulryMary Thats a great way to tip your toes in. Sounds like you have a great approach to reading/doing as much prep as possible. Im sure youve discovered Twitter is a great place for that too #OTalk |
 | Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody I’m late but I’m here!! Howdy folks 👋🏾 #OTalk |
 | Nix 🤓 @thisisnix @MulryMary @otalk #OTalk Q1. I find being able to tap into any long term memory from client’s own reminisce (a meaningful occupation for them) is a positive starting point we have to explore together & often what can motivate them to re-engage in an activity they enjoy or to try something similar. |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @OTalk_ #OTalk meaningful activity, I think is what activities are important to a person and being able to take part in that activity be it passively or not. I think some ppl with dementia the activities may vary as the condition progresses. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2... #OTalk |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @MulryMary @otalk #OTalk I think this is where their narrative is considered or simply listening to the Family who will tell you about the unusual things they have started to do...there’s often some reason behind this “unusual” behaviour |
| Nix 🤓 @thisisnix @shirleypearceot @OTalk_ Wow, what a unique story and finding for this individual 💚 #OTalk |
| Nix 🤓 @thisisnix @RachelCorrOT @MulryMary @otalk Oh nice! 💚 Thanks for the recommendation *looking up activity card sort as we tweet* #OTalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ 30 minutes gone already! Time flies when youre busy chatting OT! #OTalk https://t.co/zCnNUyeeoL |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @KimWillisOT #OTalk I get this a lot with my service users. Families often say they used to live doing this that and the other but now they don’t do anything or vice versa. It’s difficult to teas it out sometimes it’s like they are a different person. But they would still have a narrative |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody RT @hoffiOT: |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody RT @ColledgeRebecca: |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @LucyJPearce @colourful_ot @EllenChisman #OTalk yes that’s a really good one. Such fine detail but so important! |
 | Alannah Marie 🌼 She/her @Alannah_OT @MulryMary @otalk I work with people with very late stages of dementia. I am wondering how you would go about assessing and implementing meaningful occupations when communication and mental capacity is very limited? #otalk |
 | HSOT @hazysimpson551 @OTalk_ Twitter virgin here may lurk may join in when I can grasp how to do it enjoying the conversation so far. #otalk |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @OT_Francesca @MulryMary @1JamieMcDermott @otalk #OTalk yes 👍🏾 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3... #OTalk |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @hazysimpson551 @OTalk_ #OTalk welcome 👋🏾 |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @OTalk_ #OTalk lack of training, time, resources.....sometimes compassion ☹️ |
| Sophie Jenkins @SophieJenkinsOT @MulryMary @sherlynmelody @otalk Previously I have used the knowledge a patient was a music teacher to improve their fine motor skills. They used to play the saxophone to a high standard prior to a stroke, they became rengaged in playing when they felt they were teaching me a skill through demonstration #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Doesnt it go quick! #OTalk |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @MulryMary #OTalk yes this is great! I’m loving it https://t.co/vWSvo8fD4R |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @MulryMary Dont worry, you can continue responding after the offical hours, we dont grab the transcript for a few days 👍🏼 #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @Keirwales @RRule_OT @Kirstie_OT @MulryMary Just wanna draw her in really...You can keep your spanking Mr Harding! 😂 #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ 4th and Last question... #OTalk |
| Alannah Marie 🌼 She/her @Alannah_OT @clairefarrantot @MulryMary @otalk I work in residential care as an HCA but don’t work with the same individuals each time. I try to base my activities with individuals around what I have read or from talking to other staff. #otalk |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @MulryMary @otalk #OTalk ooh! That’s a good one, I think it depends on how risky it is, I mean real danger to ones self. But people should be allowed to take +ve risks. |
| Nix 🤓 @thisisnix @shirleypearceot What a great idea💡 this is! 🙏Thanks @shirleypearceot It’s so simple and effective- it has me questioning why on earth have I not even tried this before?! Love it! Great tip 💚 #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ And we are just heading into the last 10 minutes of tonights chat! #OTalk https://t.co/56XLFB7poK |

| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody RT @shirleypearceot: |
| Sophie Jenkins @SophieJenkinsOT @MulryMary @otalk @theRCOT Thank you! I shall look into that for a bit of additional reading! #OTalk Today I noticed the difference in a previously bed bound patient, when I hoisted them into a chair to drink a coffee that I made to their instruction. Change to a more normal routine/ habit ⬆️ mood! |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk 28th August – Influencing Equipment Provision, It’s within our gift. https://t.co/UZxU5Sf4h4 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @RachelCorrOT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ We shall be back again next week when our host shall be @AdamFerry3 #OTalk @TheOTShow |
 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @MulryMary @otalk A1. A meaningful occupation- what it is depends on the person. Hence, what is a meaningful occupation for someone may not be so for another. In terms of the second half of this ?, it is because all individuals should have something that provides meaning for their lives. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LucyJPearce: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachelCorrOT: |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @KimWillisOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @KimWillisOT @MulryMary @otalk yes- reading a lot of elderly committing suicide on a regular basis in Hong Kong... made me wonder what were their meaningful occupations prior to heading to a road of no return. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachelCorrOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RachelCorrOT @MulryMary @otalk and in my setting, that's very important. We shouldn't judge somebody just because their meaningful occupations look awkward- like picking up things on the floor. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OTEllenUK: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @KimWillisOT: |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RachelCorrOT @colourful_ot @EllenChisman yes- and also least restrictive environment. Some of the patients I worked with who have dementia are in locked units in nursing homes to prevent escaping out of the unit. Some have ankle devices to let people know that they are at risk of escaping. #otalk |
 | kathy kastner @KathyKastner RT @OTEllenUK: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @MulryMary @otalk A2. Observations and asking around staff/family, trial and error. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @shirleypearceot: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @sherlynmelody: @MulryMary @otalk #OTalk I think this is where their narrative is considered or simply listening to the Family who will tell you about the unusual things they have started to do...there’s often some reason behind this “unusual” behaviour |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @sherlynmelody @MulryMary @otalk when you are bouncing around different nursing homes like I do, sometimes you don't have the luxury to ask family. Asking staff what the patient has been up to prior to seeing the patient for the first time is usually my survival instinct. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ColledgeRebecca: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachelCorrOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @KimWillisOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OTEllenUK: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RachelCorrOT @MulryMary @otalk sometimes that is hard when you are on a time crunch! Sometimes that is hard when all you can do is educated guess. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @shirleypearceot: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @KimWillisOT yes... there was a legendary women college basketball coach in the US named Pat Summit had dementia before she passed away 2 years ago. Her occupation would most likely have been coaching basketball- since she used to eat, sleep, and breathe the sport. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LucyJPearce: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LucyJPearce @MulryMary @otalk for someone like me who is #actuallyautistic, my compensation strategy is actually asking staff questions, since reading non-verbal cues would have been very difficult for me. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @sherlynmelody: @KimWillisOT #OTalk I get this a lot with my service users. Families often say they used to live doing this that and the other but now they don’t do anything or vice versa. It’s difficult to teas it out sometimes it’s like they are a different person. But they would still have a narrative |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachelCorrOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @MulryMary @otalk Like the Pat Summit example I mentioned earlier, coaching a prestigious women college basketball program is not an easy occupation because the multiple aspects of coaching basketball requires strong cognition. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @MulryMary @otalk and say a patient who used to love to play golf, facilitating such occupations realistically might be difficult, though it depends on the person. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @shirleypearceot: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @BethanyChitty: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @BethanyChitty @LucyJPearce @MulryMary @otalk for someone like me, that will not be easy! So for me, I have to play conservative until I got a good sense of what such behaviors might look like. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Alannah_OT @MulryMary @otalk If family is around for evaluation (or you can contact them via phone), I would definitely do it. If you are stepping into treatment for the first time, ask staff for tips! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachelCorrOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @KimWillisOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachelCorrOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @sherlynmelody @OTalk_ in my setting in the US, I will also add different staff treating the patient during their plan of care. #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @clairefarrantot: @Alannah_OT @MulryMary @otalk Family/ friends: |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OT_Francesca: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_Francesca @MulryMary @otalk and sometimes the choice of words when approaching patients are also key. Sometimes such patients don't like the word "therapy". It might be better to use words like "hang out", "dance", etc. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachelCorrOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @BethanyChitty: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @KimWillisOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @KimWillisOT true... but in reality in some nursing homes, it just beyond amazement that family involvement are minimal. #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @MulryMary @clairefarrantot @otalk in my work setting in the US, that is definitely a common trap! #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @BethanyChitty or sometimes if they are long term residents at nursing home, the prospect of not being able to return home for the rest of their lives can also cause such. Sometimes it can be as overlooked as being able to sleep at own bed at home! #otalk |
