About this listen
Michelle Newby thinks that Occupational Therapy should be the fourth pillar of PANS/PANDAS treatment, after controlling inflammation and infection and psychiatric and psychological help. She works closely with PANS/PANDAS children in Australia and explains how OT can be life-changing, helping a child’s body, brain, and environment work together better. Allowing them to manage or return to school, but also with other problems such as eating and sleeping. Her work feels a little like a detective, and her success lies in being curious about exactly how a child's difficulties are holding them back and then coming up with solutions. Her work is gentle and practical and this podcast is well worth a lesson if you're new to OT or a bit of a PP veteran who wants support on helping your child live a fuller life.
