Responsible for the care of aging and elderly adults in your family?  From structural considerations, to costs, to consultations for CNA's and caregivers, rules, laws and regulations, this episode is a wake up call to any of us with who assume or will assume the responsibility for the life quality of of an aging family member in the home.

Phaedra's bio:

Meet Phaedra Mashburn-Olomo, Occupational Therapist and owner of "The Neighborhood OT", specializing in healthy aging/ aging-in-place for older adults. I received my B.S. in Occupational Therapy from Florida A&M University in 2003, and my M.S. in Healthcare Administration from Utica College in 2018. In addition to being a licensed registered Occupational Therapist, I am also a Certified Case Manager, Certified Dementia Practitioner, and Certified Aging in Place Specialist. 

Bringing 18 years of professional practice throughout the healthcare continuum, I understand the impact of habits, disability, and access on the prevention and management of chronic illnesses and self-care performance. Although I’ve worked across many different settings during my career, older adults have always been my favorite. I am, after all, a “Grandma’s girl”, and often accompanied my grandmother and great aunt during weekly outings where they visited the “sick and shut-in” members of our church. It was undeniably one of the most influential experiences of my childhood that would lead me to occupational therapy. I also experienced a brief encounter with caregiver burnout as a teenager, while helping my mother care for a close family friend with multiple sclerosis. These early experiences greatly influenced my perspective as a service provider, and empathy for family caregivers. Once I experienced treating patients in their homes as a home health clinician, I realized that the home environment, when safe and appropriate, is the best place for our older adults. 

"The Neighborhood OT" was created to provide older adults and family caregivers in our community with the education, skills, interventions, and training needed to safely remain in their homes as they age, as safely as possible, for as long as possible.

Wow!  Every parent, grandparent, family member or family friend of a school-age child needs this episode at their fingertips.

Child Psychologist and Ph.D candidate, Millicent Phinizy shares her expertise to help us learn the facts and key information we need to know about Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder(ADHD).  Millicent discusses in-depth, the signs, symptoms, available resources and how to protect your black child from being misdiagnosed or shorted on resources.

Additionally, Millicent sheds light on some of the myths regarding A.D.H.D. commonly shared within the black community, especially when it comes to medication. While some may still view an A.D.H.D. diagnosis as a negative stigma on a black child, Millicent shared how white parents are often taking advantage of resources such as Individualized Education Plans (I.E.P.) and 504 plans (see section 504 of the Americans with. Disabilities Act and in some cases, section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973).
