#CAOT2018 teaching old colleagues how to tweet. Love OT! Learning about meaningful occupation happens everywhere.

How to engage stakeholders for effective #KT in children with #ASD? Findings of a qual study indicate: use lay language, both auditory and visual information & make your messages clear & valid, available & accessible #caot2018

#caot2018 exclusionary factors in inclusive schools.

[Andrea @Alpmama]

To all OTs (s.b.): get a Naloxone kit and be trained, ask about sustsnce use, build a therapeutic alliance, work with others, don’t use alone. #CAOT2018

[Dalhousie OT @Dal_OT]

A problem that we have in Canada is that we separate addictions services away from daily life - we need to contextualize it within daily life and there is where occupational therapists can act -@nkiepek #CAOT2018 #CdnHealth

[Dalhousie OT @Dal_OT]

The time spent on the occupation of substance use means that occupational therapy has a unique role- rehabilitation success often happens when people engage in occupations they value and give them meaning in their life - @nkiepek #CAOT2018

[Andrea @Alpmama]

Investment in contemporary life (n.k.) - hey that’s occupational therapy! #CAOT2018

[Andrea @Alpmama]

What about exclusion and segregation within the public education system? Does this appear as a concern for the coalition on pain management? What about non physical pain? #CAOT2018

[Catherine Backman @cath_back]

I’ve often thought a key role for #OccupationalTherapy in the opioid crisis is support to first responders dealing with tragic circumstances - helping prevent post traumatic stress, maintaining wellness, etc. Didn’t hear that mentioned today (did I?) #CAOT2018

[Andrea @Alpmama]

OT evidence for interviewing in substance abuse? Look across disciplines and practice areas to give weight to what we do. #CAOT2018

[Andrea @Alpmama]

#CAOT2018 OT is the BEST solution to the opioid crisis!

[Andrea @Alpmama]

Other angle: A coalition for safe and effective pain management. Prevent accidental opioid deaths. Part of a well functioning healthy care system, OTs have a role! #CAOT2018

[Dalhousie OT @Dal_OT]

It is important that occupational therapists, as highly educated and regulated professionals, provide non-pharmocological interventions to address the opioid crisis - Havelin Anand #CAOT2018

[Andrea @Alpmama]

Multiple CAOT initiatives to address the opioid crisis in Canada. Talking to many stakeholders... but do we need to approach it from another angle? #CAOT2018

[Andrea @Alpmama]

#CAOT2018 The CAOT slogan for opioid intervention

[Andrea @Alpmama]

The opioid crisis and OT: complexity #CAOT2018

[Dr. Laura Yvonne Bulk @LYBOT]

Great conversations at the #inclusive #occupationaltherapy PIF #CAOT2018

[Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT]

@Alpmama I think that is why we need our own with disabilities to come back and share their stories as guest lecturers. Students may then feel comfortable to ask for advice. #caot2018

“Safety is a cultural process we need to address in our OT schools and our profession” #CAOT2018
