"Respect Share Listen Reflect Learn and Grow" sound like great instructions for #OccupationalTherapists at our first meeting on international perspectives on #OccupationalTherapyEducation - #ICOTE2023

Hi @BarryCSmith, nice to see you here. I was wondering if you're interested in #interoception and whether you know or are involved in any new and exciting research around it?

It's an important part of the #sensory processing differences some of us #OccupationalTherapists explore and assess in our practice.

@HaplogroupNews This looks interesting, I'll have a proper read when I can. Thanks very much for sharing :)

@PlayAllTheThings I've had one reply from a professor in #OccupationalTherapy, saying "Recent (last 15 yrs) advances in our understanding of neuroplasticity confirms that reflex integration is ineffective. Evidence based #OccupationalTherapists stopped using this approach a long time ago. Research supports task based interventions to enable activity & participation

Hi @PlayAllTheThings, that isn't my area of specialism but I will see what I can find out for you.

Maybe other #OccupationalTherapists on here might know more?
