Hi martamiriam,
OP can stand for Original Poster i.e. the person who started a thread, or you may see it in reference to Outpatient/s inc. IOP for Intensive Outpatient Programme (treatment/support)...........although there may be other definitions, hope this helps. Alison |

Working we always use SIB for Self Injurious Behavior. I tend to still use that here.
I always thought this was better than using SI for two things. I still get confused with that. __________________ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
