Second workshops! Jodie Tatlow and Jenny and Dean from @treloars are talking about how they use iPads with students from Treloar’s, and how they’ve designed activities for them. #TechAbility22

Exactly this!
I’m also struggling with ‘Life Hacks’ @theRCOT #OTWeek22 . I want to support the c/yp I work with to discover & problem solve for themselves wherever poss, & it’s only a hack if they call it a hack! it’s a more complex process than providing a hack.. OT is a complex profession!
#occupationaltherapists what are your best tips for using twitter professionally? I am keen to use it for networking and CPD but it's a bit overwhelming where to look first!

Phwoar what an epic match! Loving all the paralympics coverage
🥇 GOLD! Great Britain have won their first ever wheelchair rugby gold at the Paralympics! 🥳 A 54-49 victory over Rio silver medallists USA! #Paralympics

Today I had an email that not only made me smile, but also gave me my OT mojo back...Good Posture Week v5...perhaps you are in the covid world making somehow! 🤞 @sltbubble #somanyideas #watchthisspace

Sitting down to read this month's #OTNews is particularly exciting this month! Sharing our @treloars #GoodPostureWeek project to hopefully inspire others 👍 @sltbubble As I return to work from mat leave next month, I can't help thinking about what our next event could be 🤔

Great stuff, well done Katie 😊
Congratulations to former student Katie who has started a paid Supported Apprenticeship, part of a successful pilot project with Treloar's College and the Department for Work and Pensions DWP. treloar.org.uk/treloar-colle…
This sounds great, time to put my baby brain to a little bit of CPD me thinks!
Don't worry if you're not attending #CYPF20 today, we will have tickets on sale from Monday for you to purchase, to access all the recorded presentations.
Lockdown (&mat leave) got me feeling reflective about my career. Intrigued if others the same. What are the favourite parts of your job? Has lockdown affected this or are there positives too? A colleague told me of some amazing improvements to student's access to technology 🤔

Missing my Treloar's family so much...even more so for being on mat leave during this pandemic :-(
Students, staff, parents and friends have produced our own version of ‘All You Need is Love’. Everyone contributed by sending music clips, video or photographs to show that although we may be apart, we can all work together and support each other. Watch: youtu.be/BrxHA5k9--I
