Helping you become a better OT who loves what you do! | Proud #OTNerd 🤓 | 2024 Finalist - OT of the Year | Open to questions and collaborations to help OTs Learn, Grow and Excel! | Owner of Your OT Tutor
If you’re a new grad OT soon to be working in a mixed NDIS community caseload, I’ve got some good news and some bad news for you… Let’s get the bad news out of the way first. The bad news is you’re going to feel like you don’t know anything, and that you’ll never be ‘good’ at your caseload for a while. This is completely normal. In fact, I’d be worried if you didn’t feel at least a little bit this way when you first start. Within your first month you could have a caseload of 10+ clients with a variety of needs. One day could see you doing an initial assessment for an FCA for an autistic teenager, then a wheelchair trial for a participant with MS, then a session focused on developing meal prep skills for a person living with schizophrenia, before closing the day calming the parent of your paediatric client over the phone when they reach out to say the strategies you suggested aren’t working. So yep, needing a lot of help is normal. OT degrees teach you to think like an OT, but they can’t teach you everything you need to know to be competent in a challenging NDIS caseload. So, what’s the good news? Well, the good news is that having a great supervisor can make this journey survivable! While you may be thinking you can’t do anything, you haven’t learnt anything, and you’ll never be able to do this by yourself, a good supervisor can do these things… Advocate for you to ensure the referrals you get are appropriate. Help you reflect on all the skills you have developed, even if they seem small and insignificant in the scheme of things. It’s these small steps that add up. Knowing the common impairments that come with particular diagnoses. Being able to administer and interpret standardised assessments independently. Nailing the language you use in your report writing. And many more. Small goals that take time, but ones you need to acknowledge and celebrate when you reach them. A good supervisor will give you encouragement when you need it, support to find solutions yourself, and reassurance that you are progressing exactly how you should be with your competence and confidence. So, if you are yet to choose an employer, but you are thinking a community-based NDIS caseload is for you, make sure you choose a role with an awesome supervisor, and you’ll be fine ;) P.S. If you need some help choosing the right job, check out the comments or send me a DM and I’ll point you in the right direction. #OccupationalTherapy #NewGraduate #NDIS #YourOTTutor

📢 New research at Penn State sheds light on the connection between child abuse and behavioral problems 📢 A recent study by Penn State researchers has yielded important insights into the connection between child abuse and behavior problems in children. The study, which followed children from ages 4 to 18, found that child abuse is a leading risk factor for the development of behavior problems, but not the other way around. This underscores the importance of screening for both abuse and behavior problems during pediatrician visits, especially between the ages of 10 and 12. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eBNCV-Jv #pediatrics #parenting #publichealth #ResearchMatters #PennState

It does indeed take a village! As we move toward a post-pandemic world, the importance of building safe communities for families is more apparent than ever. Every piece plays a part in raising the next generation, from environmental investments to safe public parks and recreational spaces. Read below to learn how your practice can best support families through building a better community. "A community's design has a big impact on the health of children and teens living there, from the air they breathe to whether they can walk safely to school or eat nutritious foods. Policies that have driven community design have led to health disparities by limiting access to safe places to live, learn, work and play." #Pediatrics #Pediatricians #PediatricPractice

📊💙 CMS released a brief exploring the status of children with autism or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Medicaid and CHIP. Since ASD is much more common among children with public payer coverage than those who were uninsured or had private insurance, CMS data on access to care and co-occurring conditions gives important insight into this population. “ASD is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication, and behavioral challenges,” the brief explained. “A diagnosis of ASD includes several conditions: autistic disorder, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified, and Asperger syndrome.” 📈👀 #AutismAwareness #ASD #Medicaid #CHIP #HealthcareForAll #ChildHealth #SpecialNeeds #InclusiveHealth #PediatricCare #SupportAutism #AutismCommunity #HealthPolicy #DataInsights #HealthcareAccess

The phrase “unchecked power” is a good one to use when referencing child abuse pediatricians (CAPs), but we have to acknowledge that we gave it to them. We believe CAPs no matter what because of the position they hold. We don’t give the same deference to police officers or social workers in child abuse investigations. The author suggests that we can reduce the number of misdiagnoses of child abuse by CAPs if each abuse case is reviewed by a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) that includes 1) pediatric subspecialists specializing in the injury of the child in question, 2) clinical psychologists to examine the family, 3) a CAP who has the sole job of examining the case and can devote more time to the investigation. I understand the rationale for these recommendations but disagree that they will make the difference suggested. First, even if a pediatric subspecialist examines the case, we still have the issue of which doctor we believe. Specialists should absolutely be reviewing these cases, and I can’t imagine how anyone could argue otherwise. But the important point is that we need strict rules and protocols governing which doctor’s opinion trumps the other. It’s a problem that keeps showing up in news accounts of families wrongfully accused by CAPs. Second, psychologists can also be guilty of using subjective reasoning. I’m a therapist and diagnoses + perspectives of families are all highly subjective. Everything in child welfare is subjective, which is why it’s so easy to get things wrong. Third, I don’t think time management or ability to focus is the problem. I think the problem is that CAPs are essentially general practitioners who are giving medical opinions about cases that should be referred to specialists. MDTs have long been held in high esteem as the solution to horribly mishandled cases, but they can be rife with toxic group think. It's hard to raise your hand and say, "I disagree." And just because we have MDTs doesn’t mean that members of the team won’t exalt the opinion of the CAPs just like everybody else. #childabusepediatricians #childabuse #childabuseprevention #dcf https://lnkd.in/gKqUvER9
