I’m an Occupational Therapist, a Mother of 2, and my love of VdT MoCA helps me make sense of both my worlds! All views are my own 💚

Any of my lovely colleagues @oxfordhealthAHP care to join the discussion? Or any of my other OT pals?
Hello Twitter(X)verse OTs! I have a favour to ask? Teaching about the use of groups in OT practice and would like to ask: What setting do you work in? How do you use group interventions? What occupations do you use within your group work practices? @CovUniOT Thanks for your help!

What a great day, inspiring and exciting times ahead. I’m so thrilled to belong to this #OTfamily
It was so lovely to bring together our OT family from both Coventry and London campuses to think about the quality of our course provisions. We look forward to welcoming and welcoming back our students to the Coventry University OT community on Monday. #OTfamily 💚

When your kids start a project and neither have full task concept but one has a bit more than the other! You shout instructions from the other room but your ‘handling principles’ are all wrong coz the task is too complex but you don’t have the energy to OT your kids!!! #VdTMoCA

What a wonderful day today being a part of something so special. A good reminder of why I’ve moved into higher education. To support the future of our profession. All the graduates today should be so proud of their achievements 💚

Can’t believe I’m reading this for the first time! Section on practical strategies to manage emotions would have been invaluable working in WFMH. Mixed in with #VdTMoCA treatment principles and an understanding of concept formation! Boom!!! Research project anyone!?

Reminiscing at the park about when our kids were small & ‘SelfDiff’ exploring the water & sand. Now approaching ‘Passive’ they tackle the more challenging activities. But in this familiar environment it’s wonderful to see their playful selves come out again. #VdTMoCA

Finished our star! Graded task down. Pre prepared the sections so they just needed gluing and stapling together. Next year I’ll write instructions explaining concepts needed for paper crafts! What do you think @VdTMoCAFUK? #VdTMoCA #forensics

Using #VdTMoCA to parent again!!! I underestimated the skill needed for the task! Dgtr has abandoned me before we finished. My paper folding let the side down with too many failed attempts, but we enjoyed the quality time together even if we didn’t get a product!
