As an SI therapist and pedagogue with over 20 years of clinical experience, I know firsthand how complex and time-consuming the sensory processing diagnostic workflow can be. Balancing clinical insights, psychological factors, and pedagogical observations while keeping precise records is a massive daily challenge.

Hello colleagues,

I am inviting recent occupational therapy graduates (1–3 years post-qualification) to take part in a research study exploring international perspectives on anatomy and physiology (A&P) education in occupational therapy programs, and how this supports early professional practice.

Participation involves completing a short anonymous online survey (approximately 10–15 minutes). At the end of the survey, participants may optionally volunteer for a follow-up interview; this is entirely voluntary and involves a separate consent process.

The study has received institutional ethics approval. Survey responses are anonymous, interview data are confidential, and all findings will be reported in aggregated, anonymised form.

The participant information sheet and privacy notice are included in the link below.

Here's the direct survey link: https://brookeshls.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_07Z84RqmgMFoFJY

Hi everyone,

It's great to find a group supporting ND OT's. 😀 Although not diagnosed myself, my daughter was diagnosed Autistic 2 years ago and so the journey of acknowledging my own (and the whole family's) ND traits and characteristics began!

I'm very much realising that I experience severe task paralysis when I have a lot to do and am feeling overwhelmed, so I'm slowly putting strategies in place, so as not to get to that place. I'm lucky enough to work with a few therapists who also have ND family's so we offload together quite often.

I'm looking forward to being part of a group of OT's who share similar challenges. 😀

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.

To be in this study it is required you are an HCPC registered occupational therapist with any range of experience practicing in secure inpatient mental health services within England. It is also essential to be delivering vocational rehabilitation as part of your occupational therapy practice in secure inpatient mental health.
