After being struck by a car and having a subsequent stroke, Carl Haydel's family was told he may be non-responsive for the rest of his life. Carl had other plans. Though he entered the Claiborne at Baton Rouge, an assisted living facility, in a wheelchair and was referred to three different disciplines of therapy, Carl was determined to be able to get down on bended knee, raise a ring, and propose to his girlfriend. He voiced this mission to his occupational therapist, Amanda Cable, OTD, OTR/L, who was more than happy to help him. We are excited to report that not only did his girlfriend, Rachel, say “yes,” but a video clip of Carl and Amanda's OT sessions went viral and was featured in a recent article by People Magazine. This week, we catch up with Carl and Amanda to talk all about their amazing story, when Carl and Rachel's wedding is happening, and what it's like to be social media-famous!

To close out Occupational Therapy Month, we welcome back Noah Pennypacker, OTD, OTR/L, ATC, to FOX Rehabilitation's Live Better Longer podcast. Originally on a path to be an athletic trainer, we discover what made Noah change course and pursue a career in Occupational Therapy. While he lays out his OT origin story, we also find out that Noah is a thrill seeker, can come up with countless ways to include a deck of Uno cards into a treatment session, and is such a go-getter, that after his flight was cancelled—due to a polar vortex—he drove cross country to attend his interview for OT school. Equal parts heart and humor, we end OT Month with a clinician that any FOX patient would be lucky to call their OT!

Dr. Alicia Reiser, OTD, MS OTR/L is an occupational therapist with over 24 years of experience and the owner of A Rise Above Occupational Therapy Services in the Lehigh Valley, PA. She earned her clinical doctorate from Salus University (Drexel University) with a specialization in vision remediation. An active scholar and adjunct faculty at Drexel, Dr. Reiser bridges the gap between neurological rehabilitation, vision therapy, concussion recovery, ADHD care, and nervous system regulation. She is the co-owner of NeurOT Consulting and co-author of 100 Visually Loaded Activities and Occupations.In this episode, Dr. Alicia Reiser explains the critical but often overlooked connection between vision and the brain following a concussion. She discusses how visual inefficiencies (such as convergence insufficiency, double vision, and blurry vision) can mimic or worsen ADHD symptoms, hinder recovery, and cause chronic symptoms like headaches and dizziness. Dr. Reiser highlights the unique role of Occupational Therapy in vision remediation, the importance of interdisciplinary care with neuro-optometrists, and her work to establish a national Community of Practice within AOTA to standardize vision rehabilitation. She also provides actionable advice for patients and families navigating concussion recovery.Resources Mentioned by Dr. ReiserFind a Neuro-Optometrist: College of Optometrists in Vision Development (COVD) – www.covd.org (Look for the "board certified in vision therapy" box)Book (Co-authored by Dr. Reiser): 100 Visually Loaded Activities and Occupations (Available for pre-order via NeurOT Consulting: https://neurotconsulting.com/)Textbook Mentioned: Understanding and Managing Vision Deficits: A Guide for Occupational Therapists by Dr. Mitchell Scheiman, ODhttps://www.routledge.com/Understanding-and-Managing-Vision-Deficits-A-Guide-for-Occupational-Therapists/Scheiman/p/book/9781032882871Continuing Education Course: Vis Con (through  CiaoSeminars) – https://www.ciaoeminarss.com AOTA Community of Practice (CoP) for Vision Rehabilitation:Enrollment Survey Link: https://forms.aota.org/forms/vision_cop_enrollment_survey_copyOriginal Discussion Board Request: https://communot.aota.org/discussion/vision-remediation-community-of-practice-interestWebsites & Social MediaDr. Reiser's Practice: www.ariseaboveoccupationaltherapyservices.comInstagram: @ariseaboveotFacebook: @ariseaboveotConsulting & Book (with Megan Schneider): www.neurotconsulting.comConnect with Bethany:Website: https://theconcussioncoach.com/Free Guide: "5 Best Ways to Support Your Loved One Dealing with a Concussion" on the websiteFree Coaching Consultation: https://theconcussioncoach.com/free-consultation

We have a jam-packed episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way! Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones have a broader discussion about the Defensive Player of the Year and All-Defensive team races. They discuss what they're evaluating, how they weigh different types of defenders and the value of their responsibilities, what statistics they find useful, and a PSA to always, always #WatchTheTape. From there, the guys check in on Jayson Tatum ahead of a potential Finals preview between the Celtics and Thunder. They talk about his growing fit within the offense, growth areas they're keeping an eye on (OTD shooting, drive, lower-body power generation), and have a mini-debate about the Celtics potentially tweaking his usage to aid his comfort in the offense. Next, Nekias asks Steve about a couple of end-of-game defensive mishaps that led to game-winning baskets -- Amen Thompson's putback against the Heat, and Luke Kennard's three against the Magic -- to see where he thought blame, if any, should go. Finally, New Orleans Pelicans rookie Derik Queen joins the show! In a wide-ranging conversation, the trio talks about Queen's basketball journey, his stacked Montverde team, adjusting to the Pelicans vs. his teammates adjusting to him, the Baltimore Ravens' offseason and more!

In this episode, we will learn from Alicia Reiser, OTD, MS OTR/L, ADHD-RSP. With over 24 years of experience as an occupational therapist, Dr. Reiser is passionate about redefining rehabilitation through a truly integrative and evidence-based lens. After earning her clinical doctorate from Salus University at Drexel in 2018, specializing in vision remediation, Alicia opened her private practice, A Rise Above Occupational Therapy Services, the same year. Her practice was born from a mission to bridge the gap for individuals recovering from concussions, as well as those with ADHD who were often underserved, aged out of traditional services, or never realized how transformative occupational therapy could be. At A Rise Above, Alicia combines neurological rehabilitation with vision remediation, cognitive retraining, trauma-informed care, interoceptive awareness, and polyvagal interventions to address autonomic nervous system dysregulation. Her holistic, brain-based approach helps clients regain not just function—but balance, confidence, and control in daily life. Dr. Reiser's work reflects her commitment to helping people truly rise above their challenges through science, compassion, and innovation in occupational therapy.Contact & Resources:Website: www.ariseaboveoccupationaltherapyservies.comBook and consulting website link: https://neurotconsulting.com/Business website: https://www.ariseaboveoccupationaltherapyservices.com/Blog: https://www.ariseaboveoccupationaltherapyservices.com/post/top-3-reasons-why-occupational-therapy-and-optometry-should-be-best-friendsYouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjYkggEWqhKMVwWuX-jaoeQFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ARiseAboveOT/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Neurot-Consulting-61556820418616/IG: https://www.instagram.com/ariseaboveot/IG: https://www.instagram.com/neurot.consulting/Drexel OTD program: https://drexel.edu/academics/grad-professional-programs/cnhp/occupational-therapy-post-professionalresources/articles: https://scholarworks.wmich.edu/ojot/vol8/iss4/6/https://scholarworks.wmich.edu/ojot/vol11/iss3/8/https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.covd.org/resource/resmgr/vdr/vdr_6_3/vdr6-3_article_fessier_web.pdfhttps://scholarworks.wmich.edu/ojot/vol12/iss4/2/Book: https://www.routledge.com/Understanding-and-Managing-Vision-Deficits-A-Guide-for-Occupational-Therapists/Scheiman/p/book/9781032882871AOTA Community of Practice: Occupation Based Neuro Remedial Vision Rehab: https://www.aota.org/community/communities-of-practiceNORA: https://noravisionrehab.org/Screening tool: Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey (CISS): https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2782898/figure/F2/Screening tool: QOL Symptom Survey: https://www.oepf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/JBO-18-2-Harris.pdfAs always, I welcome any feedback & ideas from all of you, or if you are interested in being a guest on future episodes, please do not hesitate to contact Patricia Motus at transitionsot@gmail.com or DM via Instagram @transitionsotTHANK YOU for LISTENING, FOLLOWING, DOWNLOADING, RATING, REVIEWING & SHARING “The Uncommon OT Series” Podcast with all your OTP friends and colleagues!Full Episodes and Q & A only available at:https://www.wholistic-transitions.com/the-uncommon-ot-seriesSign Up NOW for the Transitions OT Email List to Receive the FREEUpdated List of Uncommon OT Practice Settingshttps://www.wholistic-transitions.com/transitionsotTo Add Your Profile to The Uncommon OT Directory:https://www.wholistic-transitions.com/requestFor Non-Traditional OT Practice Mentorship w/ Patricia:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeC3vI5OnK3mLrCXACEex-5ReO8uUVPo1EUXIi8FKO-FCfoEg/viewformHappy Listening Friends!

Our yearly tradition continues for Women's History Month as we pass the host microphone of FOX Rehabilitation's Live Better Longer podcast to Regional Director, Audra Vellucci, PT, MPT, who speaks with fellow FOX leaders, Carey Sambogna, MSPT, DPT; our VP of Client Services, and Rachel Read, OTD, OTR/L, BCG, CAPS; our Director of Enterprise Systems. Carey and Rachel talk about their FOX origin stories and the transition from a clinical to a non-clinical role, which inevitably ties back to their clinical background. Find out why Carey was persuading the owner of a grocery store to let her borrow a shopping cart and what keeps Rachel afloat living in a tech world bound with updates, glitches, and outages. Not to give away too many spoilers, but it's all about “community;” the guiding force that has kept these three leaders with FOX Rehabilitation for so many years.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1279: Today we break down CarEdge's new Dealer Transparency Index shaking up pricing accountability, GM's MobileService+ reboot with lower-cost gas crossovers, and a fresh bump in consumer confidence that could signal steadier showroom traffic ahead.CarEdge just launched a new public report card for dealers—and it's aiming straight at pricing transparency. The AI-powered platform unveiled its Dealer Transparency Index, grading over 4,600 U.S. dealerships on how “real and honest” their pricing practices actually are.The Dealer Transparency Index (DTI) scores dealers on a 100-point scale, translating into A–F grades based on real out-the-door quotes.Scores are built from 40,000+ verified OTD quotes using CarEdge's AI negotiation platform. Dealers can't pay to improve their grade.The formula weighs doc fees (30%), add-ons (30%), dealer markups (30%), and quote data quality (10%).CarEdge lists 4,957 dealers in their search. 2,403 are graded A, 306 are graded F.CEO Zach Shefska clarified the mission: “We're not anti-dealer. We're anti-deception…"GM is retooling its MobileService+ strategy after dealers pushed back on the original $150,000 BrightDrop EV vans. Now, gas-powered crossovers are stepping in to power the next phase of at-home service—and dealers say this version actually pencils.Starting Q2, GM will offer upfitted 2026 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac XT5 models for mobile service.The move follows the cancellation of BrightDrop 600 production and dealer concerns over cost, size and battery range.Upfront costs are expected to be cut by at least half compared to the $150,000 EV van. Dealers can even self-install the service kit in 6–8 hours.The setup allows stores to remove the equipment and resell the vehicle later—far more flexible than the “one-and-done” BrightDrop approach.MobileService+ Director Chris Hornberger said the new models hit the mark: “This, we feel, is the sweet spot, exactly what the dealers are looking for.”Consumer confidence edged higher in February, snapping a January slide as Americans felt slightly better about jobs and the labor market. While optimism is still well below last year's peak, expectations for the months ahead are starting to firm up.The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index rose 2.2 points to 91.2, beating economist expectations of 87.The labor market differential improved, with more consumers saying jobs are “plentiful” versus “hard to get.”Today's show is brought to you by ESi-Q.

Kellianne Arnella, MS, OTD, OTR/L, is a passionate occupational therapist with nearly 15 years of experience specializing in adult neurological rehabilitation. Recently earning her doctorate, she is committed to expanding access to care through innovative, tech-enabled, and community-based service delivery models. Kellianne has designed and led programs that integrate patient needs with current practice trends to improve outcomes for individuals recovering from stroke, brain injury, and concussion. In addition to her clinical work, she serves as an adjunct professor, mentors future therapists, and is a passionate advocate for OT's vital role in concussion care.Episode Summary & Description:In this insightful conversation, Bethany sits down with Dr. Kellianne Arnella, an OT who is revolutionizing how we think about concussion recovery. They dive deep into why the traditional advice of "rest in a dark room" is often insufficient and how a proactive, "full-scope" occupational therapy approach can lead to tangible, life-changing improvements—even years after the initial injury.Kellianne shares her journey to becoming a neuro-focused OT, discusses the surprising predictability of recovery with the right care, and reveals the common barriers (access, awareness, affordability) that prevent people from getting help. She passionately outlines her vision for building community-based concussion networks and provides practical, actionable tips for listeners—from using earplugs and weighted vests to manage sensory overload, to understanding the "spoon theory" for energy management.Whether you're a patient, a caregiver, or a clinician, this episode is packed with hope, validation, and a clear roadmap for navigating the often-misunderstood path of concussion recovery.Resources & Tips Mentioned by Kellianne:1. Practical "Hacks" for Sensory Overload & System Calming:Loop Earplugs: For reducing ambient noise before entering overwhelming environments to "save your spoons."Palming Technique: Cover eyes with palms, keep eyes open, and look into complete darkness to help "clear the visual pathway."Weighted Vests: Use during light activities (e.g., folding laundry, walking the dog) or as a passenger in a car to provide deep pressure and reorganize the sensory system.Visual Anchoring: To combat motion sickness, find a static point in the distance (like a street sign) and focus on it as you move.2. Key Concepts:The Spoon Theory: A metaphor for managing finite energy reserves (spoons) throughout the day with a chronic illness or during recovery.Micro vs. Macro Influence: The power of individual conversations and community-level advocacy to create large-scale change in concussion care.3. Her Vision & Advocacy:Community-Based Concussion Networks: Building local, interdisciplinary teams to improve access and create a seamless continuum of care outside major hospital systems.The "Full-Scope" OT Role: Emphasizing the OT's unique skill in addressing the functional impact of vision deficits, habituation patterns, and daily life challenges post-concussion.Show Notes & Contact Information:Connect with Dr. Kellianne Arnella:Website: www.evolvebrainandbody.comInstagram: @evolving_otEmail: kellianne.arnella@gmail.com OR hello@evolvingoccupationaltherapy.comKey Takeaways from This Episode:Recovery is possible even in the chronic phase of concussion—it's never too late to seek help.The right care often involves looking at the integrated systems of vision, balance, cognition, and daily function.Setbacks are common; they can feel like going backward but are often part of the progression forward.Education is 80% of the battle—for patients, caregivers, and other healthcare providers.Advocacy at every level (from a social media post to a community meeting) is crucial to changing the landscape of concussion care.

Today's guest is Dr. Meghan Schneider, OTD, MS OTR/L, a neurological occupational therapist, brain injury specialist, and concussion recovery expert. As both a clinician and a TBI survivor, Meghan brings a powerful dual perspective to her work. She is a certified brain injury specialist, a certified functional vision rehabilitation specialist, and co-owner of Neuro OT Consulting. In 2024, she was honored with the Dan Keating Pioneer in Brain Injury Award for her groundbreaking work integrating interoception —our eighth sensory system of internal body awareness—into brain injury rehabilitation. She is the co-creator of the first and only course dedicated to interoception in concussion and brain injury recovery.Episode Summary: What if the missing piece in your concussion recovery isn't just about treating symptoms, but learning how to listen to your body again? In this deeply insightful conversation, Bethany welcomes Dr. Meghan Schneider to explore the critical, yet often overlooked, role of interoception—our sense of internal body awareness—in healing from a brain injury.Meghan shares her personal journey through concussion and post-concussion syndrome, explaining how a disconnect from her body's signals led to emotional dysregulation and delayed recovery. She breaks down the science simply: why trauma like a concussion can “turn off” this internal sense, and how rebuilding it is the foundation for managing symptoms, implementing pacing strategies, and regaining emotional balance.Listeners will learn:What interoception is and why it's considered the cornerstone of self-regulation.How a lack of body awareness can sabotage standard recovery protocols.The practical framework Meghan uses to help clients reconnect with their body's signals, identify emotions, and discover personalized calming tools.Why strategies like “just breathe” don't work for everyone, and how to find what truly helps your nervous system.Inspiration for turning the frustration of recovery into advocacy and hope.This episode is essential for anyone who feels stuck, emotionally volatile, or disconnected from their body after a concussion, and is looking for a nervous-system-based, holistic path forward.Resources Mentioned by Meghan Schneider:1.

Hello! Listen here to get the details of my OTD break.

Today, Dr. Stephanie Holmes talks with Occupational Therapist, Kelly Mahler. The topic is interoception! Every neurotype can struggle with it, but we find neurodivergent folks can have a few more challenges with interoception.Defined by Kelly's website: Many people notice these feelings in their body with the help of an important sense… a sense called… interoception.Don't let the name fool you. The word interoception might not sound very sexy or important. But this sense is a really big deal. Interoception has a huge influence on many areas of our lives, like self-regulation, mental health, and social connection. About our Guest:Kelly Mahler, OTD, OTR/L, earned a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Misericordia University, Dallas, PA. She has been an occupational therapist for 20 years, serving school-aged children and adults.
