| @clissa89 | @Dai2584 I often zone out when walking… can’t imagine where I would end up if driving!  #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:12:38 +0000) |
| @BillWongOT | @clarewilding but sometimes I think it’s unavoidable. Church, for example, would take me 20-30 minutes by car. 1/2 #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:12:48 +0000) |
| @gilliancrossley | @clarewilding yes I agree, I like to try to walk more. But driving often gives greater freedom either as a driver or passenger #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:12:53 +0000) |
| @pd2ot | @Dai2584 That’s the often quoted example for dissociation. #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:12:55 +0000) |
| @Symbolic_Life | @gilliancrossley I never do.. really. Although, i found learning easier than expected regardless of my dyspraxia #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:13:08 +0000) |
| @BillWongOT | @clarewilding yet it will take me 1-1.5 hours if I take public transportation. #otalk 2/2(Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:13:09 +0000) |
| @Keeper85 | @allisulli @clissa89 @gilliancrossley I agree….driving for me is a great stress reliever #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:13:50 +0000) |
| @BillWongOT | @Symbolic_Life @gilliancrossley @OTalk_Occhat and I personally hate reading maps. I would rather rely on my GPS. #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:13:51 +0000) |
| @allisulli | @clarewilding I agree. I choose to live in a city near my work to cut down on the amount of driving I so. But I value the choice too #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:13:58 +0000) |
| @LeonoraOT | #OTalk I live rurally so driving = social connection out here. #access (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:14:00 +0000) |

| @clissa89 | @BillWongOT @clarewilding not driving means I often injure myself carrying things I shouldn’t… definitely limited without it #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:14:09 +0000) |
| @gilliancrossley | so how would you feel if the ability to drive was taken away? How would this impact on life? occ participation? #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:14:33 +0000) |
| @OTalk_Occhat | @Keeper85 what do you think it is about driving that relieves stress? #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:14:34 +0000) |
| @clarewilding | @BillWongOT #otalk I agree, driving is convenient & sometimes only poss way to get there, but still problematic(Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:14:38 +0000) |
| @Cathy_OT | @gilliancrossley I have done on long commutes. Especially during my stoke placement. It’s amazing how many skills are required! #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:14:51 +0000) |
| @pd2ot | @clissa89 @BillWongOT @clarewilding Oh yes, I had some ‘interesting’ moments on an overloaded bicycle when I didn’t have a car #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:14:55 +0000) |
| @clarewilding | @gilliancrossley #otalk freedom yes, but also creates other difficulties(Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:15:25 +0000) |
| @OTalk_Occhat | @LeonoraOT this is a really good point, re rural living. Think @pd2ot also mentioned driving being necessity #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:15:29 +0000) |
| @BillWongOT | @clarewilding But I do say sometimes not driving is better. This AOTA conference I am getting there by train instead of driving. #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:15:33 +0000) |

| @allisulli | @gilliancrossley I think about it all the time because a lot of what you see when you drive is terrifying #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:15:40 +0000) |
| @gilliancrossley | @Cathy_OT yes stroke placement really made me think about this. There are s huge amount of skills needed #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:15:53 +0000) |

| @Cathy_OT | @gilliancrossley Would certainly be a struggle. Especially if driving is considered a meaningful occupation in itself. #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:16:24 +0000) |
| @gilliancrossley | @clarewilding can you elaborate? #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:16:36 +0000) |
| @BillWongOT | @pd2ot @clissa89 @clarewilding Since I can’t bike, my problems would be walking w/ heavy stuff to the nearest bus stop. #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:16:37 +0000) |

| @BillWongOT | @allisulli @gilliancrossley and sometimes non-city roads can present their unique challenges. #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:17:41 +0000) |
| @gilliancrossley | @Keeper85 @OTalk_Occhat stress relief for me is driving in the country, singing my head off!! #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:17:46 +0000) |
| @OTalk_Occhat | @queenmullers great point – I often hear people say that driving is a great space for reflection #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:17:55 +0000) |
| @gilliancrossley | @Dai2584 @Cathy_OT absolutely! #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:18:16 +0000) |
| @BillWongOT | @Keeper85 @OTalk_Occhat haha! Me too. Though I don’t drive too fast as I don’t want to get a speeding ticket. #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:18:21 +0000) |
| @allisulli | @OTalk_Occhat @leonoraot @pd2ot also driving = occupational justice. It is illegal for women to drive in some countries! #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:18:24 +0000) |

| @pd2ot | @gilliancrossley I observed a memory clinic and this was an issue on initial ax – was generally the most significant part of session #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:20:05 +0000) |
| @clissa89 | @BillWongOT @pd2ot @clarewilding yup 😦 that’s a weekly problem for me. hypermobile joints & heavy shopping don’t mix! #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:20:07 +0000) |
| @gilliancrossley | @queenmullers @OTalk_Occhat same for me! I value the alone time driving gives me #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:20:29 +0000) |
| @Cathy_OT | @Symbolic_Life @gilliancrossley I agree. For example a lot of jobs won’t consider you unless you have a driving licence. #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:20:36 +0000) |

| @Sibellgul | #OTalk once I had a client he worked as a driver and only driver at home. RTA lost use of his legs. His world changed upside down(Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:21:46 +0000) |
| @Cathy_OT | @queenmullers @otalk_occhat I find the same. Plus it feels like more natural reflection than forced (if that makes sense) #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:21:48 +0000) |
| @gilliancrossley | @BillWongOT if you had concerns about the safety of driving would you talk to them? #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:21:56 +0000) |
| @allisulli | @gilliancrossley this needs to be done with great sensitivity. It should involve more than OT/client. Clear communication. F/u #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:22:01 +0000) |
| @BillWongOT | @clissa89 @pd2ot @clarewilding and for me, it would be sweaty palms and things that are heavy and need good grasp don’t mix either. #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:22:13 +0000) |
| @Helen_otuk | yay everyone here has managed to send a tweet #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:22:18 +0000) |

| @pd2ot | @Helen_otuk alt ‘3’ I think? Maybe… #OTalk #(Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:23:14 +0000) |
| @BillWongOT | @gilliancrossley I might note what I observe (using clinical observation skills- if applicable) and use motivational interviewing #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:23:34 +0000) |
| @clissa89 | @pd2ot @helen_otuk yup 🙂 #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:23:51 +0000) |
| @gilliancrossley | @clarewilding yes there are def negatives. They are things I think about but the need to drive is always more important #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:23:57 +0000) |
| @BillWongOT | @clarewilding @pd2ot @clissa89 well… with this technology age, sometimes ordering online is not a bad idea. #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:24:12 +0000) |
| @queenmullers | @Cathy_OT @otalk_occhat yes i definately agree! Although sometimes you can overthink something which has an adverse effect #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:24:23 +0000) |
| @gilliancrossley | @barryclift1 yes this is often what happens in my area of practice #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:24:38 +0000) |
| @BillWongOT | @clarewilding @pd2ot @clissa89 But if it’s not applicable, it might be good to pay a friend or family member to do the task. #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:24:39 +0000) |
| @clissa89 | @BillWongOT @pd2ot @clarewilding I order online sometimes, but delivery costs are getting increasingly expensive #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:24:46 +0000) |
| @OTSophie | Driving for me is:habitual as it is part of my daily routine.It’s also time for reflection,concentration and mindfulness #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:25:01 +0000) |
| @BillWongOT | @clarewilding @pd2ot @clissa89 That said, they still will have autonomy somewhat because they can come up with a shopping list. #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:25:06 +0000) |
| @pd2ot | @clissa89 @BillWongOT @clarewilding I found waiting for delivery/letting strange person into flat stressful #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:25:30 +0000) |
| @clarewilding | @clissa89 @billwongot @pd2ot #otalk does shop provide a delivery service?(Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:25:36 +0000) |
| @OTalk_Occhat | @OTSophie you make driving sound so peaceful! 🙂 #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:25:53 +0000) |
| @BillWongOT | @clissa89 @pd2ot @clarewilding I always do the math before hand. If it’s too expensive, then I would find ways to save money. #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:26:00 +0000) |
| @Cathy_OT | @gilliancrossley Depends on what driving means to them. And if/how their difficulties could be overcome. Different for each client. #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:26:12 +0000) |
| @clissa89 | @pd2ot @BillWongOT @clarewilding yes definitely… it’s becoming easier but still odd #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:26:43 +0000) |

| @gilliancrossley | @OTSophie do you find it easy to be mindful while driving #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:26:58 +0000) |
| @Symbolic_Life | @Cathy_OT @gilliancrossley especially OT it seems real important #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:27:09 +0000) |
| @Symbolic_Life | @gilliancrossley of course for you to carry out all of these roles with ease and less stress (guess) transportation is essential #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:27:15 +0000) |
| @pd2ot | @clarewilding @Dai2584 @allisulli @otalk_occhat @leonoraot insurance for new drivers is often prohibitive, never mind car #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:27:24 +0000) |
| @clissa89 | @clarewilding @billwongot @pd2ot currently, delivery for me can be about 1/4 of the cost of the shopping – adds up over a month #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:27:36 +0000) |
| @allisulli | @clissa89 @billwongot @pd2ot @clarewilding Well, now a big gas-guzzling delivery truck is using the gas delivering it you, too. #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:27:55 +0000) |
| @BillWongOT | @pd2ot @clissa89 @clarewilding that’s why I am thinking having someone u know to shop for u may sort of solve this problem. #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:28:03 +0000) |
| @gilliancrossley | what about being a passenger? have you ever ensured you clients can access an adapted vehicle?so that they can have more independence #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:28:12 +0000) |
| @LeonoraOT | @Cathy_OT @symbolic_life @gilliancrossley #Otalk Yes! Important to find ways & advocate for our colleagues who don’t drive(Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:28:16 +0000) |
| @pd2ot | @clissa89 @clarewilding @billwongot I tended to do monthly ‘big shop’ delivered and top up fresh stuff on foot to compromise #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:28:22 +0000) |
| @clissa89 | @BillWongOT @pd2ot @clarewilding I was fortunate to have a friend who gave me a lift to shop, made the shop itself more enjoyable #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:28:59 +0000) |
| @clarewilding | @gilliancrossley #otalk agree, have to drive too as I’m rural, but we need to find new solutions. Prob for all to solve(Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:29:12 +0000) |
| @BillWongOT | @pd2ot @clissa89 @clarewilding that’s a great strategy. You just got to figure out what’s work for you before hand #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:29:16 +0000) |
| @Cathy_OT | @Symbolic_Life @gilliancrossley I did meet a community OT who cycled instead. Small geographical area though. And MH so no equipment! #Otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:29:26 +0000) |
| @gilliancrossley | @Symbolic_Life I tried not having a car for 3 months. I was physically healthy but couldn’t geteverything done and was super stressed #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:29:47 +0000) |

| @OTalk_Occhat | @clarewilding have you got any ideas about improvements? #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:30:30 +0000) |
| @gilliancrossley | @Cathy_OT @Symbolic_Life yes if your area is small cycling or public transport is a good option. #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:30:42 +0000) |
| @BillWongOT | @Cathy_OT @Symbolic_Life @gilliancrossley I think biking is good if u can do it. But, road safety is also important. #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:31:15 +0000) |
| @queenmullers | #otalk i have previously done home visits with clients in my own car…handybar is brilliant for providing for assisting transfers(Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:31:24 +0000) |

| @gilliancrossley | @clarewilding we need other solutions. the prob for people who lose the ability to drive is that public trans has new set of problems #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:32:17 +0000) |
| @allisulli | @LeonoraOT @cathy_ot @symbolic_life @gilliancrossley this is why end must be a team intervention. Family, friends, public trans. #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:32:34 +0000) |
| @gilliancrossley | @pd2ot @clissa89 @clarewilding @billwongot I often get shopping delivered that saves me lots of time #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:32:58 +0000) |
| @OTalk_Occhat | @Sibellgul that’s such an important point, when illness/disability impacts on driving & therefore roles – can be devastating #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:33:28 +0000) |
| @BillWongOT | @Symbolic_Life @gilliancrossley When I was in HK, though, driving is not a necessity. Public transportation system is too good. #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:33:29 +0000) |
| @gilliancrossley | @Sal_OTKnut thats great! I think its important to recognize needs and know where to signpost #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:33:42 +0000) |

| @OTalk_Occhat | Sometimes clients will feel more comfortable talking in a car – less eye contact, perceived as less threatening/vulnerable #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:34:36 +0000) |
| @gilliancrossley | @BillWongOT @Symbolic_Life I really dislike public transport! too busy! too unreliable #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:34:37 +0000) |

| @OTalk_Occhat | @Sal_OTKnut what sorts of services are available to support people with driving? #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:37:35 +0000) |
| @pd2ot | @OTalk_Occhat Very true, also experienced it in taxis – had to try and keep the conversation ‘safe’ to protect their confidentiality #OTalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:38:08 +0000) |
| @BillWongOT | @gilliancrossley @clarewilding At least it’s better than airport shuttles. It’s >= $50 per trip if I hire personal driver 1 way. 1/2 #otalk (Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:38:25 +0000) |
