This is our 'now for something completely different' article that does not correspond to our Handwriting theme but we hope will appeal broadly across Paediatric OT and even to other professions.
We would like to state that the comments in this article are not our personal opinions regarding the National Disability Insurance Scheme. We are simply reviewing the article that was published 3 years ago and applying it to our clinical practice. We acknowledge that different participants and different service providers have different experiences to report so we are not speaking on behalf of anyone else. If you would like to use any of the comments here, please contact us at our email address so that we can ensure that these comments can be used appropriately given that we are simply reviewing a journal article.
How you can get involved:
1. Tell your friends and colleagues about us. We are aimed at OTs but some of our topics are certainly relevant for other professions.
2. Rate & review on the podcast app – this helps others find the podcast.
4. Check out our Facebook Page or join our Facebook Group.
5. Become a Patreon supporter - For just $10AUD/month you get to be a Research Roadie. You get a copy of the blank critique form we use when we review an article, a copy of the article in advance (where copyright permits) and a copy of our notes from that episode. The notes are great as you don't have to frantically take your own notes while listening to the podcast and is great evidence for your CPD. You also get a bonus episode each series (occasionally we might have more than one bonus episode) where we speak to an expert on that series' topic who has picked one of the articles. Other bonus content will be offered as it becomes available. In some countries, you may be able to claim this as a work related cost!
