Hello,

I am a late diagnosed Neurodiverse OT also with a very Neurospicey family. The difficulties I have faced trying to get the right support for my children and struggling to find it prompted me to start working as an OT privately with both adults, young adults and children who are/ think they are Neurodiverse.

Neurodiversity is my favourite subject and I would love to connect with people who feel the same way.

Occupational therapists from secure inpatient services needed

Hello,

I am currently studying a master's in clinical research at Teesside university. As part of the programme, I am undertaking a qualitative research study looking into occupational therapists' experiences of vocational rehabilitation in secure inpatient services in England.

Hello everyone! I teach Gross Anatomy and Neuroanatomy to OTD students, and I’ve been reflecting on the persistent challenge of translating classroom knowledge into clinical practice.

In my classroom, we’ve moved beyond just textbooks, we use cadaver labs, tech applications, and integrated simulations to make the material as real as possible. However, I still see a significant struggle when students transition to the clinic. They can identify structures perfectly in a lab setting, but that confidence often disappears when they need to perform surface palpation or apply functional anatomy to a living, moving patient.

I’m curious to hear from the clinical educators in this group:

1. In your experience, where is the biggest knowledge drop-off between classroom preparation and actual clinical application?

2. Are there specific anatomical concepts (e.g., nerve pathways, joint mechanics) that students seem to 'lose' the moment they step into the clinic?

3. What can we do in the classroom…

Hi all, I am still in need of participants for my dissertation research study (PhD in OT). I am exploring how daily routines impact occupational engagement and well-being in autistic adults. If you are an autistic adult, I would so appreciate it if you would complete the brief screening survey which can be found on the attached recruitment flyer.

The study consists of 3 short surveys (should take 10-15 min to complete) and a routines tracker.

Thank you for your consideration!

Hi I'm Dan, neurospicy and late diagnosed,

Photo is from a recent 'sketchbook club' outing...

I'm new to the hub and new here too. I'm a neurodiversity network co-lead in my trust. I'm also a regional EDB contact, and looking to network with other OT's. Looking forward to sharing helpful things and being part of discussions.
