@musedNeuroOT Thanks Ed !

[Louis (he/him) 🏳️‍🌈 @LouisP_OT]

Any of my followers aware of training/online courses etc for seating principles and postural management, for paediatric OTs?

[Louis (he/him) 🏳️‍🌈 @LouisP_OT]

Couldn’t agree more Hannah, it’s heartwarming to see visible steps taken 🩷💚

[Hannah Spencer (they/them) 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @hspenceruk]

Brilliant @LouisP_OT @LGBTQIAOTUK 💪🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈💚 thank you for sharing.

Appreciate the clear visible commitment @theRCOT during #PrideMonth - it cues inclusion... & inclusion = a necessary pre-requisite for belonging (ref: @DrDaveThomasOT ). Let's build & sustain this, together 💚🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Let’s be clear, these kids are not “given” support plans, they require them and are legally entitled to them.

It’s worth remembering that such plans would not be necessary if our education system as anywhere near as inclusive as it claims to be.

[Sarah Meharg @MoodLifter]

For other OT’s out there. I’m working on undoing deficit based language within my reports. When discussing a persons activity do you write about executive function from a neutral / strengths based premise? Performance skills? Task demands?

[AbleOTUK @AbleOTUK]

Neurodivergent OTs. Which “side” of the labelling debate are you on?

[Hannah Spencer (they/them) 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @hspenceruk]

Blimey, just looked at the slides from the @LGBTQIAOTUK launch event (2021). How much has evolved since then?! Connection, community, support, growth, opportunity...! A bit of a wow moment 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #Grateful #LGBTplusHM #LGBTHM23 @RachaelD_OT @GeekyOT @LouisP_OT @sash_OT @OTRebekah

@margaretOT360 @LGBTQIAOTUK @hspenceruk @LifeProductions DM’d you !

[Louis (he/him) 🏳️‍🌈 @LouisP_OT]

Myself and a colleague are hoping to run a CPD session around sexuality and gender identity for our community learning disabilities team. Does anyone have any resources or insight they could share ? Please retweet! @LGBTQIAOTUK @hspenceruk

[Louis (he/him) 🏳️‍🌈 @LouisP_OT]

@SusanMadigan3 @hspenceruk @LGBTQIAOTUK Thank you Susan for the responses. I couldn’t agree more with what you say, this is why we really want to champion it in our service !

[Hannah Spencer (they/them) 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @hspenceruk]

The safety and well-being of #LGBTQIA, particularly trans 🏳️‍⚧️, @theRCOT members, AND those we work with, might have been a good consideration for our 'impartial' professional body to have made prior to expressing congratulations...
