This is the “Pals” part of Patch, Plate, and Pals 🥹🤝🏽💚

Sitting down to share a meal that you physically helped create builds a massive sense of pride, self-worth, and community connection.

It’s a safe space to try new textures, talk about what went well, and celebrate the hard work put into independent skill-building.

Sautéing is a fantastic multi-sensory experience, but it also demands high-level safety awareness and executive functioning.

You have to manage the sensory input of the heat and sound, maintain a safe distance, and use fluid wrist extension to stir the food so it doesn’t burn.

Look at that concentration 😅

Cooking isn’t just a life skill; it’s a sensory processing workout.

💬 Drop a 👏🏽 in the comments to cheer on our amazing participants!

Do you like sautéing onions?

5 benefits of running group therapy programs (especially small ones) 🌱

🤝🏽 They can be tailored to the individual and collaborative without consuming the funded hours in a participant’s plan.

🤝🏽 They are effective to support several participants in a specific amount of time, monitor their progress, help educate support workers that attend and develop clear pre and post assessments.

🤝🏽 These groups mean you can cover a wide range of skills and life skills over a short period of time.

🤝🏽 Group programs serve collaboration and connection and offers creativity.

🤝🏽 Groups can be run in all different locations and break the traditional clinical mould.

This video captures a glimpse of our Patch, Plate and Pals program that formed the conception of the Cooking Up Independence program!

Would love to hear what groups you run/ participate in 😍 Tell us in the comments!

Accountability can feel challenging, but it doesn’t need to be confronting. 

As OTs, we must help support workers understand how important their role is in building capacity.
They are crucial to the whole journey.
By helping them understand their responsibility and how important they are in maintaining the capacity-building framework, you enable them to feel valued and actively contribute to great participant outcomes.
This is a critical step in professionalising their role.

It was great to finally meet the wonderful Clare Batkin in person. Claire was such a supportive influencer for me when I started on LinkedIn. I have learnt so much from her and have done a few presentations with her on Your OT Tutor platform. This is such a great space to learn and develop your clinical skills. All her content is backed with evidence and she knows her stuff. If you have never reached out to her you should!
