Our biggest downfall is thinking if we work harder, the workload will decrease - when in fact, it just increases, you become expected to work at that level & you spiral into exhaustion, stress & burnout

This is your sign to stop ✋

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder #FASD has ~3 x the prevalence of Autism. It is extremely common in those with care experience or a history of offending.

Yet, it's rarely identified in #neurodevelopmental services.

Be the change by learning more. See https://t.co/gaJCNQY6fx 👇

How much physical activity does your child participate in?
Early years children require movement which helps with their development, mental stimulation and social skills. Being active aids sleeping patterns too!

[Dr Teresa Joyce @TeresaJoyce_OT]

Students often ask how OTs can use their skills to work at the population level. In this video I explain how through TikTok I am utalising OT theory to support the population of 'uni students' (Excuse the PJs it's a much more casual platform!) #TikTok https://t.co/hb6wUXs1po
