Occupations are the things we do that are important to us. Occupational Therapists ensure we can do the things that make us live, not just survive. #OTweek23

Neurodiversity Affirming Sensory Integration https://t.co/Ct7PZIK7fC
"Sensory Integration Therapy (as conceptualized by Ayres) can and should be Neurodiversity Affirming. ...the necessary professional tools, skills, and unlearning that is needed to achieve this goal."

[Fiona Clarke @Fiona_Clarke_]

This is an excellent and extremely useful resource about neuro-affirming practice and how to go about it.

Relevant for all who are thinking about supporting the mental health of children young people regardless of diagnosis.

We love to hear about the incredible work occupational therapists are doing for the people they work with. 💚

These nine case studies examine the innovation driving improvement in mental health, learning disabilities and autism.

@JadewilliamsOT love the infographics. Do you do much work around interoception? If so, would love to hear how 😊

[Milly Dent @MillyDentOT]

@JadewilliamsOT I love this infographic, would you mind if I use it?

[Milly Dent @MillyDentOT]

@SharonDthinkOT Yeah maybe likening sensations to volcanoes and stuff gives an easier way to understand abstract feelings

Congratulations to Occupational Therapist @MathesonMichael on becoming Scotlands Health Secretary

@farrah_money @Katie_Moffat This is great, thanks for the tip. Have you tried the interoception assessment from @kmahlerkmahler ? Trying to establish baseline AI is quite tricky because the concept is so abstract

[Milly Dent @MillyDentOT]

First day in new job complete! Have been learning more about the #InteroceptionCurriculum and got to shadow 2 brand new interoception assessments in action 💥 exciting stuff and lots of food for thought! @kmahlerkmahler

Teaching mental health assessment today to all fields. I always share this colouring sheet as a great introduction to underpin what we discuss, wider reading and further theory.
