#105 OT and Prevention with Alyson Stover
Episode description
Far too often, people are not referred to occupational therapy until their disease course has progressed to a level of high complexity.
But, what if we could start seeing our clients sooner?
Ideally, we receive the referral at the first sign of trouble. In some cases, we could prevent the full expression of a condition. In other cases, we could work with the client so their condition presents in a less severe way. These services are low cost and high impact.
While it feels obvious that this is the direction we should be heading, there are policy, payment and mindset barriers to overcome.
In this one hour live discussion Alyson Stover, MOT, JD, OTR/L, BCP and Sarah Lyon, OTR/L will discuss the practical steps we can be taking to shift our care towards prevention. Our goal is that you will leave inspired to take steps in your own context.
