Thought i'd give the #fediverse another go. I'm an #occupationaltherapist living in #cornwall. I work in #mentalhealth and also do #autism assessments. I'm a keen amateur photographer mostly taking photos with my phone at the moment. I'd love to connect with people on here. My interests are #photography #music #reading #books #walking #countryside #nature #mentalhealth #autism #adhd #neurodivergence #scandinavia #dogs #animals #antifascist #environment

NDIS Occupational Therapist: Helping You Live Independently

An NDIS occupational therapist helps participants build independence, manage daily tasks, and achieve personal goals.

Understanding the Value of an Occupational Therapist Functional Capacity Assessment

An occupational therapist functional capacity assessment helps identify a person’s ability to perform daily tasks and work-related activities. It provides valuable insights for return-to-work planning, injury management and independent living.

Webinaire : IA & impulsivité – une médiation musicale innovante en SMPR

J’ai partagé une expérimentation en ergothérapie autour de SunoIA, permettant à des patients d’exprimer leur vécu et de réguler leur impulsivité via la création de chansons.

🎧 Une IA au service de l’humain, en prison.

I'm on my way to the OT to figure out what to do with my electric wheelchair because the back support is lacking, and my legs are still swelling. Anytime I leave the house, my legs aren't raised, so they balloon and get very achy, and not only do I have chronic conditions that affect my back, but I also have a fracture in my mid spine that is being sorted out (slowly).

Missed the analysis of the home environment for #FallPrevention by an #OT / #OccupationalTherapist.

(These folk are in my experience top of the game for establishing an effective working relationship with their clients. Other health profession educators would do well to watch and learn and then introduce OT's methods into their trainings. Though some educators might need to see an osteopath/chiropractor/manipulating physiotherapist to get their nose reset after reading that.)

Right … that’s today’s visit from the #OccupationalTherapist done.

*Hopefully*, my cupboards can be lowered as a result …

Note to all professionals....

Autistic self-identification/ self-'diagnosis'.....

**is valid**

Not everyone has access or resources to be formally assessed.

Not all those who want to formally assessed are safe to do so.

Not all professionals who do assess for autism, are fully aware, up-to-date with their knowledge on what autism IS and IS NOT.

Not all professionals practice in a neuro-affirmative way, thereby perpetuating the dangerous deficit-based language and attitudes around autism.

If someone thinks they are or might be Autistic, and comes to you for support around this.....

Please validate them, don't dismiss them and explore their reasons why.... Chances are they've done a lot of research into this, resonate strongly with what they've found....and so very likely to be Autistic.

We professionals can do so much to support self-identified Autistic people to just as we can with officially identified Autistic people.

My wife @elektra just completed her first day of work as an #OccupationalTherapist

She's not really into Mastodon (yet ;) )

Any #OT 's out there want to wave 🙋 and point us to where she can connect to others?

I'm making a list of all the occupational therapists I'm finding here, so we can all find each other.

This absolutely includes students, retired, not-currently-practicing, support workers, assistants...)

Feel free to add yourself if you're not on the list, or reply to add someone you know (if they want to be added) - just reply to this thread and then it will hopefully keep it together for others to see and join.

Also, please let me know if you want me to take you off the list each time I add a new person, and I will as I don't want to overload you all if you don't want it!

So, the list so far:
@geekyOT @RebeccaTwinley
@Susanmadigan @LucasLoblack
@LelanieB @SueT2O
@nyla @austinclaffey @dr_luke_robinson
