Our first chat where our community flew solo without any team members present.

A huge thank you to all who contributed. You were fantastic and I am looking forward to reviewing this in detail (as well as reading my World Book Night books). Kirsty.

@Dai2584	I know this early but may not make tonight. are more ppl reading because of social media? how does effect our clients #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 16:41:17 +0100)

@orlalalalala	just saw that tonight’s #occhat is on reading as an occupation, hoping to join in on this lovely #OTuesday (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:54:47 +0100)
@BillWongOT	I think reading is a nice change of pace occupation. Used 2 b in a book club for a while before my doctorate degree stuff took over. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:05:08 +0100)
@BillWongOT	I guess #occhat is like a ghost town today. :((Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:08:05 +0100)
@orlalalalala	@Dai2584 maybe? too much soc media can impact quality reading time. i know i check twitter on the bus now when i used to read! #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:09:14 +0100)
@orlalalalala	@Dai2584 saying that it’s great to be able to find out about news, events, and resources so easily! #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:10:41 +0100)
@orlalalalala	@BillWongOT it really is! 😦 #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:11:04 +0100)
@orlalalalala	@BillWongOT i work in a university and they’ve put up shelves recently for students to leave books or take books, it’s really nice! #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:12:40 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	#occhat hi everyone 🙂 sorry I’m late(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:14:06 +0100)
@orlalalalala	@Nnikki_Duffy hi there! i think it’s only just beginning 🙂 #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:15:39 +0100)
@orlalalalala	I’m going from @kirstyes ‘s suggested questions. first off, are you a reader? why/why not? #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:18:06 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	#occhat definitely luv reading, dream house would have a wall full of them. However books don’t always love me #dyslexic (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:21:01 +0100)
@orlalalalala	#occhat http://t.co/Oj42mKOTXZ (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:22:55 +0100)
@orlalalalala	@Nnikki_Duffy i was always so jealous of belle’s library in beauty and the beast! do you like audiobooks? i’ve never tried them #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:25:03 +0100)
@dawnyford	#occhat I love reading – find it a good way to destress – although when I need it most (NOW doing dissertation) I don’t have time!(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:25:37 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	#occhat however I think there are less barriers to reading now then there have even been.(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:25:43 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	@orlalalalala sometimes I listen & follow the words 4 sum reason it works. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:28:09 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	#occhat i luv old books cause the pages r cream & I can read them more easily #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:28:43 +0100)
@dawnyford	#occhat have listened to audio books (latest, true blood) in bed just b4 I go to sleep. Stops my brain from whizzing & thinking about essays(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:28:59 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	#occhat I think the use of kindles etc can be powerful tools to enable people to continue the occupation of reading.(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:31:11 +0100)
@orlalalalala	@Nnikki_Duffy i love new book smell, but also old book smell! #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:31:46 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@dawnyford I hear ya- I am on the same boat. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:32:06 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy I do say nowadays sometimes I use Kindle for convenience. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:32:27 +0100)
@orlalalalala	@Nnikki_Duffy definitely, when you think what you can download for free! #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:32:44 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy I also like that you can zoom in- good for people with vision issues. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:33:48 +0100)
@orlalalalala	@BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy me too, i love the portability and handiness of the kindle, but love the feel of a book too! #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:34:26 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	@BillWongOT @dawnyford during my degree I stopped reading fiction cause I had 2 much reading 2 do. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:35:03 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy and now I can access Kindle with my computer, too! So, that’s also nice. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:35:04 +0100)
@orlalalalala	#occhat has anyone spoken to OT clients about reading or enabled a person to read?(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:35:12 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	@BillWongOT @dawnyford 1st thing I did when finishing was get lost in a book nothing OT / health related #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:36:10 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@Nnikki_Duffy @dawnyford nowadays my readings consists of peer review articles. :p #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:36:12 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@Nnikki_Duffy @dawnyford That’s why I did book club for a few months too… hopefully I eventually can find my way back #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:36:47 +0100)
@orlalalalala	@Nnikki_Duffy @BillWongOT @dawnyford it’s great when you find a few books or an author that you really get into. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:37:38 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	@orlalalalala I have used the kindle as it was lighter and easier to grasp then a book #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:37:44 +0100)
@orlalalalala	@Nnikki_Duffy @BillWongOT @dawnyford but it’s also difficult if you’re in a bit of a reading rut. I always ask for recommendations #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:38:25 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy @dawnyford that’s why I think a book club is not a bad idea. All my book club friends are non-OT’s. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:39:05 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	@orlalalalala #occhat however new technology can also be a barrier rather then an enabler.(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:39:14 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@dawnyford @orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy I think there are some values of having a book. It provides meaning that u owned something #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:40:26 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@dawnyford @orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy though I would say it wouldn’t be good to follow my grandpa’s footsteps, though… lol! #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:40:54 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@Nnikki_Duffy @orlalalalala yes- I bet neither my mom nor my dad would ever use Kindle #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:41:38 +0100)
@dawnyford	@orlalalalala @nnikki_duffy @BillWongOT Kindles r cool & very handy but r they as therapeutic as holding a good book in your hands? #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:42:31 +0100)
@orlalalalala	#occhat i work with young people, a few of my clients like to read people’s experiences of MH difficulties in fiction/non-fiction #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:43:22 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	@BillWongOT @orlalalalala to be honest I prefer a book and wish I could set the back ground colour better. #occhat #dyslexia (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:43:25 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	@orlalalalala yes that can be a great tool. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:44:36 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	RT @orlalalalala : #occhat i work with young people, a few of my clients like to read people’s experiences of MH difficulties in fiction/non-fiction #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:44:40 +0100)
@dawnyford	#occhat new tech does seem to be a barrier with older peeps. There r more ‘silver surfers’ out there now so phaps that will change!(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:44:53 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@orlalalalala Back in my #OT students days, I read some accounts from Schizophrenia Bulletin from way back. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:45:06 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	@orlalalalala I suppose we all do that now and again, read to relate / understand a persons journey, or gain insight. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:46:17 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@Nnikki_Duffy @orlalalalala I agree- I read a lot of autism self accounts for my own pleasure & my doctorate residency. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:48:35 +0100)
@orlalalalala	@Nnikki_Duffy @BillWongOT The Center Cannot Hold by Elyn Saks is really fascinating #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:49:09 +0100)
@eileenhegarty7	Hiya, just got in. @Nnikki_Duffy Reading is also good to escape into another world #occhat #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:49:59 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy A pretty popular #autism non-fiction book is Look Me In The Eye #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:50:20 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	I suppose as OTs we need to recognise that when some1 says reading is an interest what part of reading is meaningful to them #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:51:49 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	#occhat reading can be social, work, relaxation, emotional. So given that if a person puts reading as an interest what would u ask? #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:53:44 +0100)

@BillWongOT	@Nnikki_Duffy good question- probably will start off with his/her favorite books. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:54:46 +0100)
@eileenhegarty7	@Nnikki_Duffy Can they access the books they like? Would they like to have contact with others who like reading? #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:55:27 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	@BillWongOT yeah I would probably ask when they read. Times of stress etc. where they read, what do they love about reading? #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:56:33 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@eileenhegarty7 @Nnikki_Duffy good one! I am thinking a site like http://t.co/HRLyTnlTG1 #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:57:24 +0100)
@orlalalalala	@eileenhegarty7 @Nnikki_Duffy #occhat http://t.co/V4wdAlBqEd (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:57:32 +0100)
@dawnyford	@BillWongOT @nnikki_duffy @orlalalalala obviously reading a lot of BJOT at the mo. helps with degree. Need some fiction 4 balance! #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:57:58 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@dawnyford @Nnikki_Duffy @orlalalalala Same- I also read AJOT, Australian Occupational Therapy Journal, and other OT ones, too. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:59:03 +0100)
@eileenhegarty7	@BillWongOT Yes, I’m a Goodreads member. Like that I can download samples of recommended books to my Kindle. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:59:22 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@dawnyford @Nnikki_Duffy @orlalalalala I read a lot of these because I am writing lots of OT conference proposals. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:59:23 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	#occhat what do they love about reading might give clues. Like the runner who can’t run but what was found meaningful was competitiveness(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:00:15 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@eileenhegarty7 or sometimes you can interact with like minded readers across the globe, too. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:00:31 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	@BillWongOT @eileenhegarty7 just downloaded that app but never used #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:00:58 +0100)
@dawnyford	@Nnikki_Duffy @billwongot reading can mean dif things at dif life stages – for me now def work but come June, will be for relaxation #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:01:09 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@Nnikki_Duffy haha! Same can be said with strategy books. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:01:30 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	That’s a good point @BillWongOT I think also being able to discuss what u have read is also important to recognise #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:03:32 +0100)
@orlalalalala	@BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy @dawnyford @eileenhegarty7 i have to leave #occhat now, it was lovely chatting to you all. happy world book night!(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:03:40 +0100)
@eileenhegarty7	@BillWongOT Must check that out. Don’t have many friends who share my taste for popular science. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:03:49 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@Nnikki_Duffy yeah- the type of strategy books I will buy will be on poker. 😉 #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:03:55 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy @dawnyford @eileenhegarty7 nice chatting with you… see you later. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:04:31 +0100)
@AbbyPediatricOT	@Nnikki_Duffy As an OT, you could ask questions to find out what aspect of reading is meaningful to your client. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:05:16 +0100)
@eileenhegarty7	@orlalalalala @BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy @dawnyford I’m being kicked off computer by a truculent child. Nice chatting with you all. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:05:24 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	@orlalalalala thank u for ur comments hope u have a lovely evening 🙂 #occhat happy world book day(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:05:33 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@eileenhegarty7 @orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy @dawnyford see you later! #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:05:43 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	@AbbyPediatricOT exactly 🙂 #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:06:16 +0100)
@dawnyford	@orlalalalala @billwongot @nnikki_duffy @eileenhegarty7 thanks for ur company tonight- interesting chat. Not a ghost ship after all! #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:06:34 +0100)
@AbbyPediatricOT	@Nnikki_Duffy Does meaning come from being able to socialize at a bookclub? Learning new knowledge for work? Leisure/relaxation? #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:07:03 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@AbbyPediatricOT @Nnikki_Duffy good question- when I did book club, it was the 1st one mostly. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:08:55 +0100)
@AbbyPediatricOT	@eileenhegarty7 @orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy @dawnyford @BillWongOT Sorry I was late to the #occhat . Just wanted to pop in and say hi.(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:10:11 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	@AbbyPediatricOT stress reduction, emotional, traditions, role. The list can go on, shame that this is not explored more #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:10:13 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@AbbyPediatricOT @eileenhegarty7 @orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy @dawnyford actually is not late at all- no grabchat until tomorrow. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:11:04 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@Nnikki_Duffy @AbbyPediatricOT but I think that can make a good occupational science article. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:11:34 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	#occhat I will never look at reading on a persons interest checklist the same way again :)(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:11:43 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@Nnikki_Duffy good take home point. Reading can lead you to know something more about a client. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:12:57 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	#occhat I need to always think.. what is meaningful, what is meaningful, what is meaningful. Keeps us OT focused :)(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:15:00 +0100)

@BillWongOT	@Nnikki_Duffy I think we all do. We should never be on auto-pilot, even if we are experts in a particular #OT area. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:17:18 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	#occhat thank u all for ur insight sorry I need to pop out. C u all again next week. Happy world book day :)(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:19:01 +0100)

@BillWongOT	Turns out today is a pretty good day on #occhat – slow start, great finish!(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:19:56 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	RT @BillWongOT : Turns out today is a pretty good day on #occhat – slow start, great finish!(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:20:53 +0100)
@AbbyPediatricOT	@BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy it would be interesting to study the meaning of reading in different groups of people #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:21:29 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@AbbyPediatricOT @Nnikki_Duffy Now we just need an occupational scientist who is willing to study all that. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:22:23 +0100)
@AbbyPediatricOT	@BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy for example, parents of children with autism or adults with a cancer diagnosis. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:22:39 +0100)
@AbbyPediatricOT	@BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy Reading would probably provide meaning for both groups, but in very different ways. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:23:18 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@AbbyPediatricOT @Nnikki_Duffy or you can start planning a study to present it at WFOT in 2018. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:23:41 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	@AbbyPediatricOT @billwongot great research proposal think of all the of times reading has been wrote down without a 2nd thought. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:24:21 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@AbbyPediatricOT @Nnikki_Duffy For me, I know having a book club keeps me on my toes, as I needed extra push to read non-OT stuff. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:24:27 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@Nnikki_Duffy @AbbyPediatricOT anyone wants to spear head this anywhere? COT? AOTA? #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:25:19 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy	@BillWongOT @abbypediatricot just think of all the ideas 4 research that have come from #occhat great resource 4 OT students #dissertation (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:28:46 +0100)
@BillWongOT	@Nnikki_Duffy @AbbyPediatricOT but I think it will be good conference presentation topic. Something I didn’t think of b4 today. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:30:13 +0100)

@kirstyes	@orlalalalala @billwongot That sounds great. #occhat my only problem would be the leaving. Tend to be a book horder.(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 22:10:42 +0100)

@Keeper85	@Symbolic_Life yes lol how else do we know if what we do is actually being effective? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:05:02 +0000)
@DebbiiHarrison	@OTalk_Occhat @symbolic_life Good evening fellow OTs I’ll be following #occhat tonight but will prob be sitting quietly in the corner(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:05:41 +0000)
@Keeper85	@Symbolic_Life it’s 6am! Lol #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:05:44 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@BillWongOT what about for practical purposes? proving the worth of the profession? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:06:00 +0000)
@clissa89	Hi everyone, sorry I won’t be joining #occhat tonight but I need some restoration to balance my day(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:06:13 +0000)

@Symbolic_Life	RT @Keeper85 : @Symbolic_Life yes lol how else do we know if what we do is actually being effective? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:06:31 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@Symbolic_Life we still do in some instances because we’ve to at least prove that we are as good, if not better than alternatives. #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:07:48 +0000)
@Keeper85	@Symbolic_Life if we don’t know how we’re going we then can’t review and improve our practice. OM are Objective reflections lol #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:07:48 +0000)
@cgenter	#occhat maybe another question is what constituents useful outcome measures? i.e. client satisfaction, their performance or something else?(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:09:03 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Symbolic_Life I think that we need them for clients too. #occhat To help them see the changes (sometimes they may struggle to do this)(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:09:13 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@Keeper85 So do u think our outcome measures improve our individual skills as well as the profession’s acknowledgment of practice? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:09:40 +0000)
@Keeper85	@BillWongOT @Symbolic_Life formal/informal it doesn’t matter but we need to complete that feedback loop for our interventions #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:09:47 +0000)
@cgenter	#occhat oops meant constitutes not constituents!(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:09:53 +0000)

@cgenter	#occhat OM important as part of intervention, demonstrating client progress to them?(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:10:56 +0000)
@Keeper85	@Symbolic_Life I don’t think OMs on their own do anything but a clinician willing to change/improve based on feedback will do lots #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:11:07 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@OTalk_Occhat @Symbolic_Life For some instances, clients & caregivers can see progress. #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:11:23 +0000)
@kirstyes	@cgenter good question Chris. Good to see you. What about if we can prove reduced length of stay. Not occupational but??? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:11:52 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@Keeper85 @BillWongOT what about the clients perspective as @kirstyes suggested? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:11:54 +0000)
@cgenter	@BillWongOT #occhat yes lots of different ways, I think could be summed up by Doble and Caron Santha idea of occupational well-being?(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:11:54 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@OTalk_Occhat @Symbolic_Life and more importantly, we need that to show this to get reimbursed. #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:12:17 +0000)
@Keeper85	@Symbolic_Life @BillWongOT @kirstyes the most important We can see All the progress in the world…useless unless the ct sees it too #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:13:12 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@BillWongOT @OTalk_Occhat Do u think this supports your practice bill? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:13:12 +0000)
@cgenter	@kirstyes #occhat thanks, nice to find time to be back. that would be popular in UK health service, would depend if it was client goal too?(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:13:29 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@Symbolic_Life @cgenter FIM = functional independence measure. It’s a quantitative measure of independence. #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:13:54 +0000)
@rootsvoices	@Symbolic_Life outcome measures can’t be meaningfully applied to human experience – if research necessary it needs to be qualitative #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:13:56 +0000)
@OTalk_Occhat	@EmmJacq great to have you here. If you do join in, want to ask a question etc don’t forget the #occhat so people who don’t follow u can see(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:14:02 +0000)
@Keeper85	@Symbolic_Life @kirstyes I tend to use outcomes that are done with the client so they can see and an objective one as well #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:14:32 +0000)
@DebbiiHarrison	@Keeper85 @symbolic_life @billwongot @kirstyes agree with this, we need OM to support our profession but must be relevant to client #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:14:47 +0000)
@Helen_otuk	Good evening #occhat , just catching up.(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:14:51 +0000)
@cgenter	@rootsvoices #occhat wholeheartedly agree with that, think OM can be bit more interesting to management than anyone else?(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:15:08 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@Symbolic_Life @OTalk_Occhat good question- it does cuz clients & families can see small & big changes functionally usually. #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:15:18 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@Keeper85 @BillWongOT @kirstyes So are you suggesting unless the client recognizes this change to it isnt benefical? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:15:28 +0000)
@EmmJacq	@OTalk_Occhat Oops! yes, will remember the #occhat , thanks(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:15:38 +0000)
@Keeper85	@cgenter @rootsvoices not if its done right 🙂 it’s about self improvement too #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:16:13 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	Question 3. What outcome measures do you use with your clients And why? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:17:04 +0000)
@Keeper85	@Symbolic_Life @BillWongOT @kirstyes horses for courses. I use multiple outcome measures for different purposes 1 for ct, 1 for mgt #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:17:23 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@cgenter @rootsvoices Why do you think this Chris? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:17:37 +0000)
@cgenter	@Keeper85 #occhat I suppose a concern could be what are outcome measures used for then? whose agenda is setting them?(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:17:42 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@Symbolic_Life back in the day, I was given the COPM. Now no outcome measures… #strange #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:18:14 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@Keeper85 @Symbolic_Life @kirstyes and same with peds assessments, too. Dependent on age & area(s) 2 b assessed, for ex. #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:19:01 +0000)
@Keeper85	@Symbolic_Life I use a lot of solution focused practice with clients where they use progress to preferred future as an OM #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:19:02 +0000)
@cgenter	@Symbolic_Life #occhat as previous answer, about what the agenda for having outcome measures, and whether they are suitable?(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:19:06 +0000)

@gilliancrossley	@kirstyes it can mean, researching – online, talking, telephone. I need to know what something involves in order to activity analyse #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:15:38 +0000)
@Richardsblister	Hello all, on a tweet chat – is this clearer for all? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:15:45 +0000)

@BillWongOT	@kirstyes occupations as ends probably can be as simple as regaining range to be able to turn a key to drive a car. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:17:29 +0000)
@Georgia_Fair	MOHOST starkly showed up communication difficulties and was great evidence to contribute to diagnosis 2/2 #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:18:23 +0000)
@gilliancrossley	@Richardsblister Nice to meet you. I bet your role is very interesting! Is it a very occupation focused role? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:18:26 +0000)
@Richardsblister	the basis of our interventions with veterans with ptsd are based on good old fashioned creativity, based on reducing cortisol #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:18:30 +0000)
@kirstyes	@BillWongOT But how would you help a client regain range? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:18:39 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	I am all about occupation cant say that for all settings i have encountered i tend to highlight the transferable skill to the client #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:18:54 +0000)
@AnnabelFenn	@clissa89 @kirstyes I’ve facilitated creative groups using occupation as a means for personal capacity development #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:19:14 +0000)
@kirstyes	@BillWongOT Was that not ends because the intervention became the end outcome? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:19:30 +0000)
@kirstyes	@AnnabelFenn @clissa89 what are some of the challenges with this do you think? And the positives? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:20:05 +0000)
@gilliancrossley	@kirstyes I have been thinking about ends and means.. I think of it as activity analysis. when we take an activity/ occupation #occhat 1/2(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:20:40 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes in that setting, that will be through therapy as well as home programs, I believe. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:20:55 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes it was a means because the overall goal at the time was to improve my social skills. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:21:22 +0000)
@AnnabelFenn	@kirstyes @clissa89 challenges included complexity of occupation and evidencing meaningful outcomes #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:21:22 +0000)
@pd2ot	@OTalk_Occhat #occhat I think this post covers interventions that helped me.. http://t.co/hoMZVN7dj4 (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:21:22 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Richardsblister how do you ensure intervention is meaningful? Is it group or individual sessions or a mix? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:22:01 +0000)
@gilliancrossley	@kirstyes 2/2 #occhat and put in its component parts. is each part an occupation or a building block.each 2b mastered 2build and occupation?(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:22:12 +0000)
@OTalk_Occhat	@pd2ot thanks for hunting that out 🙂 #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:22:23 +0000)
@Richardsblister	@kirstyes it is a mix to be honest – such as mind gym group, healthy living group and then individual tailored interventions #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:23:32 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	#occhat struggling to keep up with occ chat tonight… My brain hurts ;-)(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:23:52 +0000)
@kirstyes	@BillWongOT what do you mean by through therapy and home programs? Can you be specific? What would the client do. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:24:04 +0000)
@clissa89	@Symbolic_Life I think a few of us are in the same boat tonight 🙂 remember, you can add comments tomorrow too #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:24:31 +0000)
@kirstyes	@BillWongOT so was it less about the specific situation and working on transferable skills? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:24:48 +0000)
@kirstyes	@BillWongOT maybe in your case it was as ends and means. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:25:12 +0000)
@Richardsblister	@kirstyes for example i have a client using photography to get in touch with his emotions, another drawing cartoons for his daughter #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:25:13 +0000)
@kirstyes	RT @AnnabelFenn : @kirstyes @clissa89 challenges included complexity of occupation and evidencing meaningful outcomes #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:25:21 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes therapy in that setting were massage and PAMs. Home program can be exercises/stretches. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:25:37 +0000)
@kirstyes	@AnnabelFenn @clissa89 ah something to talk about next time in our occupational outcome measures chat ;0) #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:25:52 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes that’s right. At that time, my frequency of initiating conversations was very low. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:26:14 +0000)
@Helen_otuk	I challenge myself and constantly query ‘where is the occupation’ in what I do? often I feel occupation is the ends to my work. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:26:30 +0000)
@SarahDobby77094	#occhat thankyou for sharing pd2ot, all the best for the rest of your ot journey(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:26:48 +0000)

@kirstyes	@Richardsblister Those sound great!! #occhat Whatdoes a mind gym session look like? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:27:34 +0000)
@Richardsblister	@Helen_otuk go back to our roots. occupation is something that is meaningful to us as opposed to a task #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:27:52 +0000)
@Georgia_Fair	I often work with people where an occupation is the end goal, they are deprived of occupations. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:28:14 +0000)
@kirstyes	@BillWongOT But are these occupational interventions? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:28:24 +0000)
@Richardsblister	@kirstyes we teach the basics of what goes wrong with STM when you have PTSD and how this has an impact on fx. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:28:37 +0000)
@gilliancrossley	@Helen_otuk me to. I think Its important to be mindful about occupation. I think in some settings it can be easy to let it slip #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:28:43 +0000)
@CharOTReilly	@Georgia_Fair iv experienced that too #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:29:16 +0000)

@BillWongOT	@kirstyes therapy- it’s arguable. But home program can be if it is related to the person’s interests, I think. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:30:27 +0000)

@kirstyes	@BillWongOT Yes def, if the ‘exercise’ can be doing an occupation that encourages that movement. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:33:52 +0000)
@MissHeldi	#occhat @kirstyes Occupation- AND person-centered. Plus not doing activities for the sake of doing them but with actual purpose and meaning.(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:34:20 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@Symbolic_Life @kirstyes but if it’s with a client with #autism , it is something that the client can work w/ some1 close to him/her #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:34:40 +0000)
@Richardsblister	@kirstyes anytime, is surely teaches you how flashbacks happen and why ptsd has stm problems, amy with her hand on a bursting filing #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:35:07 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@Symbolic_Life @kirstyes an example of that could be small talk… where a family member/close friend can provide some feedback. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:35:39 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Georgia_Fair using occ as means then? #occhat Do you look at general relaxation and specific ‘on the spot’ relaxation strategies? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:35:49 +0000)

@kirstyes	@Richardsblister Have you thought of making some You Tube videos? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:37:55 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@Symbolic_Life @kirstyes yes/no- if the client has desires to make more friends, then that’s an occupational goal, right? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:38:22 +0000)
@Georgia_Fair	@kirstyes Relaxation to be practiced daily to become aware of body and self and recognise anxiety response. On the spot – breathing #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:38:27 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	Its about the context and exploration for the use of equipment relative to occupation #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:38:53 +0000)
@kirstyes	@BillWongOT @symbolic_life Yup, I’d say so. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:39:01 +0000)
@Helen_otuk	2/2 occupational goals of the individual can ensure we make changes appropriate to the person. Not just an ‘accessible property’ #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:39:15 +0000)
@Richardsblister	@kirstyes No I haven’t, but I suppose that cud b gd, provide my charity did not object! sharing best prac. is gd, but have to b wise #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:39:20 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@kirstyes @billwongot I agree… It’s using these tools as a means of occupational goal.. Core to OT and client centred approach.. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:40:01 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Georgia_Fair Thanks. #occhat is this daily relax one type or do people get to explore different types to see what works best for them? 1/2(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:40:14 +0000)

@BillWongOT	@Symbolic_Life @kirstyes I recalled my OT gave me a sheet with tips to doing small talk. She went over it with me. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:41:11 +0000)
@Georgia_Fair	@kirstyes I use person centred thinking tools to identify good day/bad day and factors of each to help plan a successful activity #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:41:14 +0000)
@AnnabelFenn	@Symbolic_Life I’ve found for acceptance and use of equipment understanding occupational identity is essential #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:41:32 +0000)
@SarahDobby77094	#occhat @ Helen_otuk guess that goes for equipment as well, how you one be able to justify some items on occupation in current climate in cec?(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:41:50 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@Symbolic_Life @kirstyes and then I carried over in the classroom and community settings. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:42:09 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Richardsblister Yes intellectual property etc That’s where online open access journals could come into own ‘alternative media’ #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:42:23 +0000)

@Georgia_Fair	@kirstyes I use PMR and visualisation and get people to feedback. Visualisation too abstract for some people with LD #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:42:32 +0000)
@Richardsblister	on subject of relax, our veterans have a range, including mindfulness #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:42:33 +0000)
@OTalk_Occhat	@charl885 glad you could join us 🙂 we’re talking about occupational interventions #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:43:07 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Georgia_Fair I’m not familiar with what you mean by person centred thinking tools.Can you share reference/link? #occhat Sounds interesting(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:44:00 +0000)

@kirstyes	#occhat ooh need to chuck my controversial question out before time’s up. Do occupational interventions have to be provided by OTs? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:46:05 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Georgia_Fair fabulous. Thank you. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:46:26 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@kirstyes YES! To involve all concept and a holistic approach!!! #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:46:54 +0000)
@Richardsblister	@kirstyes I think OT interventions are done already by mdt, however, OT’s should make it known that we do it better :oP #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:47:25 +0000)

@Symbolic_Life	@kirstyes ooo that question makes my head explode! 😉 #occhat #OTJUSTICE (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:48:14 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes It depends on setting- I think it is generally yes… otherwise we can’t separate ourselves from other disciplines. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:48:15 +0000)
@AnnabelFenn	@Symbolic_Life @kirstyes agreed – although technical instructors/OTAs play important role too. Is it a case of clinical reasoning? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:48:40 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@Richardsblister @kirstyes That is summed up very nicely! #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:49:01 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Symbolic_Life But what if there is a really good community group running that has no OT involvement? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:49:24 +0000)
@Richardsblister	@AnnabelFenn yes, we have recovery workers who do graded practise, if just left to us we could not cope with demand #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:49:33 +0000)
@kirstyes	@AnnabelFenn @symbolic_life Good point. Pragmatically we don’t have time to do everything hands on ourselves. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:49:55 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@AnnabelFenn @kirstyes We should assess set up inter’s which can be supported by others..But we should evaluate relative to occ goal #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:50:08 +0000)
@charl885	@AnnabelFenn on placement with an #OT using non-contact time to learn about a pts condition to increase compliance with intervention #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:50:20 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Richardsblister I’ve seen that ;0) OTs do it better!! #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:50:23 +0000)
@Helen_otuk	@kirstyes I would say no, we have reablement workers who do the doing… after OT sets the goals with the individual. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:50:50 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes @Symbolic_Life one example I often see in my community of such are tai-chi groups at the park. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:50:55 +0000)
@Richardsblister	@kirstyes something I face every day – other mdt doing OT stuff – but I just politely show them the correct way….(grin) #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:51:33 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Symbolic_Life @annabelfenn So maybe assessment &evaluation but intervention may not be purely ours?? Depends on need for grading?? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:51:51 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@charl885 @AnnabelFenn If it’s me, I may provide a caregiver/client my email if he/she have more questions about what I am doing. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:51:58 +0000)

@BillWongOT	@charl885 @AnnabelFenn I know that in peds settings, you might not have time to explain everything. Phone #/email can help. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:52:44 +0000)
@charl885	@kirstyes I would say yes, as our training focuses around this like no other profession. Others are perhaps more client-centred? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:53:03 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@kirstyes @annabelfenn agree.. although assessment is reviewed throughout… So maintenance of graded support? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:53:07 +0000)

@kirstyes	@Symbolic_Life in the discussion with the OT ;0) Seriously though. There is some great occupational interventions out there not OT #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 21:04:15 +0000)
@AnnabelFenn	Brilliant #occhat this evening. Thank you for having me! #Timefortea (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 21:04:37 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@Symbolic_Life @charl885 @AnnabelFenn yes… that’s true. That’s why I purposely tried to not think about #OT stuff on weekends. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 21:05:07 +0000)
@kirstyes	RT @Symbolic_Life : #occhat OT rules. We take a persons philosophy and work with it though the means of their chosen occupational goals..basically WE WORK IT!(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 21:05:59 +0000)
@Georgia_Fair	Goodnight all, see you next week #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 21:06:06 +0000)
@Helen_otuk	@kirstyes also cost implications for the employer, do you need to pay an OT to do everything? more cost effective to guide/review? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 21:06:07 +0000)

@gilliancrossley	@kirstyes Because it make socialising accessible when I am busy and pushed for time. #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:11:20 +0000)
