An excellent informative podcast from occupational therapist Clare Nicholson on OT for FND in acute, rehab & community settings. So important to have a collaborative approach, 'the first thing is to find out from the patient what they want to work on'. 💚🧡

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is American legislation that guarantees certain rights to people with disabilities. It was one of the first U.S. federal civil rights laws offering protection for people with disabilities.
A federal lawsuit filed late last year by 17 states sought to have Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 declared unconstitutional. Thanks to extensive advocacy efforts by AOTA and state OT associations, Section 504 is officially safe! Learn more: bit.ly/4meLvXt
