Key facts for intervention from Prof Iona Novak #CYPF24

It would seem by the number of raised arms that the scoping review findings are well on their dissemination way! "Strategies used by mainstream primary school teachers to teach and support self-regulation: a scoping review" - fabulous presentation by Kim @Griffin_OT #CYPF24

Please think more carefully & critically when approaching evidence based practice, occupational therapy and autism. There is so much more to think about. @RCOT_CYPF #CYPF24

Deeply moving account from @ZoeHaddock on impact of mental health on occupational participation. Respect parent expertise, listen without judgement, allow space for parents & child to be heard & create chains of support to help family hold on & reach out to their child #CYPF24

So privileged to be @RCOT_CYPF #CYPF2024 today and hear Riley’s rehab journey 🤩 thank you for sharing it with us 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 @Childrens_Trust

#CYPF24 day 2 kicks off with a summary of what was covered yesterday. I don't know about you, but I'm in awe of Sandra, the conference artist. In real time, she's capturing multiple ideas, each of which is taking me ages to process. How does she do it?!?

@Jen_PCLOT what an amazing 2nd day at #CYPF24 and also thank you CYPF for the opportunity for us to present our tired model of service delivery within Birmingham BCHC ... occupational therapy advice line, how may I help you 💚 @carmelmll @SActonPT @LouTomkinson @BCHC_Childot

Couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful group to see out the final days of @RCOT_CYPF such a brilliant conference. Thanks to all those who attended and contributed🤩🤩 #cypf24
