Most importantly the fashionsita award goes to our OT #queenofEHCP

I love being an Occupational Therapist because I can use my brain the way it wants to be used whilst making a difference to others lives #ChooseOT

So invigorating to be back in a learning conference space, and surprisingly social even though virtual. Amazing that the themes from today are so consistent. Thanks @RCOT_CYPF #coproduction #serviceusersareexperts #facilitatethroughplay #CYPF20 #tirednowtho

Really pleased that this report (which I had a hand in producing) was launched today. It describes how #OccupationalTherapy services can be designed to ensure children & young people receive the right help at the right time so they have skills & resilience they need for life.

Hearing how Laura Graham got Back to Basics and engaged a school environment in an It’s Behind You club developing bottom wiping and hair brushing skills through play! Some fab bottom up approaches #CYPF2019

Interesting exploration of research. Some exciting outcomes headed our way from CHILD research and also a database of therapy services in the UK! #cypf2019

Children and Family Health Surrey’s Angela Wheeler delivered an insightful and at time amusing talk on implementing a Universal and Targeted service. Also a reminder of the graduated approach #CYPF2019

Essential Skills course evaluation delivered by Dr Carolyn Dunford. Using OTIPM, the 5 big ideas and what OT’s want from the course #CYPF2019

Ooo a new model - the MUDA model used in Enfield, very accessible language that is transferable and can be used as a quick check that we’re not wasting time, resources, or money in our practice ensuring best outcomes for our service and clients #CYPF2019

Dr Jess Turnbull delivering a fantastic insight into sleep (and stick insects) merging the medical, anthropological, and social models. Consider using Mr Men as a strengths based model and the Xbox adapted controller gets another worthy mention. #CYPF2019

Yesterday Dr Ann Gordon reminded everyone to have a proactive focus not reactive to enlarge your circle of influence. I think being proactive also empowers the individual, encourages change, and reduces burn-out. #CYPF2019

Helene Polatajko engaged the audience again. Key points: Generalisation & transfer (of knowledge) are difficult. A new/different skill invokes cognition. As cognitive load increases performance decreases. Cognition interferes with automatic behaviour performance. #CYPF2019

How to consider transitioning into the workspace with high functioning ASD. Some interesting thoughts I hadn’t had (consider small talk, making tea, lunchtime routines and expectations) #CYPF2019

Really interesting talk on SCERTS by Sarah. I didn’t know about the different communication stages and thought the Tier’d slide is easy access. Another course to consider! #CYPF2019

Gaming at Treloars school with adolescents with physical and learning disabilities. Using Xbox adapted controllers and switches. Thanks for the kit sheet @OTTreloars #CYPF2019

Learnt about participation focussed goal-setting in an immunology, cancer, and infection acute setting. Some great initiatives and good prompt to use the COPM to generate outcomes with parents #CYPF2019

Falling behind on tweeting. Key slides (in my opinion) from keynote #CYPF2019

Learning through doing. How does skateboarding fit into neuromaturation / development of fine and gross motor skills theory #cypf2019

https://t.co/eRmY7bIzZV learning that there are 6 thinking hats before the conference begins. Already something to look into. #CYPF2019
