Occupational therapy mentioned frequently...mainly how young people weren't getting access to therapy & brief reference to apprenticeships becoming available with Theresa from @CovUniOT being interviewed. Please @BBCTheOneShow do one show all about Occupational Therapy @theRCOT

@heymrshallahan @bbc5live @tes 1/2 100% recommend interviewing @JGjanegreen from @SEDSConnective charity … their peer reviewed paper is excellent on neurodivergence and school attendance

[Alice Hortop @LaughingOT]

https://t.co/3i6a0xVhxx @theRCOT @guardiannews is there is a reason you have not mentioned #OccupationalTherapy? Experts for over 120 years in using therapeutic activity. This profession exists, has the skill set & the evidence base!!! Poor reporting, poor gov strategising.
