The Dysautonomia Workbook with Joanna Behm, EDD OTR/L and Madison Thornton, OTD OTR/L

Joanna Behm, EDD OTR/L and Madison Thornton, OTD, OTR/L are experts in occupational therapy (OT) as therapists, dysautonomia patients, and Joanna is even a professor of OT. Together they created a workbook that first shares the latest evidence and then leads readers through a series of worksheets and questions to help them find their best OT-based solutions and routines for living better with dysautonomia and related challenges. In this episode they explain occupational therapy, the workbook, and share many examples of how patients can get the most from it, and from an OT mindset in general.

The Dysautonomia Workbook is available here, and other handbooks and handouts created by Joanna and her team are available here.
