As both a clinician and a patient herself, Joanna Behm, gives a fantastic presentation on how occupational therapy can help individuals living with chronic illness. Fatigue is a huge part of chronic illness. It's extremely important for individuals living with any chronic illness-- whether it be Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, dysautonomia, Chiari malformation, syringomyelia, or others-- to pace themselves.
Ms. Behm and her students give a great overview in this presentation. Watch to learn how basic occupational therapy (OT) tweaks can make day-to-day activities more enjoyable and manageable.
This presentation was given at the 2019 Neuro Connect Summit in Rockville, Maryland. Thank you to the 2019 Neuro Connect Alliance partners for making this education and advocacy weekend a reality: Bobby Jones Chiari & Syringomyelia Foundation, Dysautonomia Support Network and the Ehlers-Danlos Society!
