In this episode, we’re taking a closer look at how occupational therapy supports individuals living with Parkinson’s disease—not just in the clinic, but in their day-to-day lives. 

We’re joined by Charlene Foote, a skilled occupational therapist who specializes in neurorehabilitation. Charlene shares how she helps patients manage daily activities impacted by Parkinson’s, from dressing and cooking to handwriting and energy conservation. We’ll explore practical interventions, adaptive strategies, and the importance of early engagement in therapy. 

If you’re a rehab professional, caregiver, or someone impacted by Parkinson’s, this episode offers valuable insights into the critical role of OT in promoting independence, safety, and quality of life.
