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. __________________

Thank you so much for sharing this. I've seen abbreviations all over the forums and felt majorly out-of-the-loop because I didn't know what half of them stood for. This is helpful. ♥

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
