The Holistic OT Approach to Epilepsy Empowerment

The Holistic OT Approach to Epilepsy Empowerment

In this enlightening episode of the Passion OT podcast, Parish is joined by Matt Davey from Epilepsy Queensland to delve into the world of epilepsy and the pivotal role of occupational therapy. Matt, who was diagnosed with epilepsy at 23, shares his personal journey and how it has shaped his life. He reveals his experiences with seizures and emphasizes the need for comprehensive support and advocacy.


Throughout the conversation, Matt and Parish explore the often-overlooked role of occupational therapists in managing epilepsy. Matt candidly discusses how he’s never been referred to an OT and highlights the potential for a more holistic approach to living a fuller life despite the condition. Parish, an OT herself, underscores the importance of seeing beyond seizures and supporting individuals through home modifications, daily activities, and anxiety reduction.


Join us as we uncover:

- The broad spectrum of epilepsy and its impact on daily life.

- How OTs can offer a holistic approach to managing epilepsy.

- The crucial need for better collaboration between neurologists and OTs.

Do you know how occupational therapy can transform lives and offer a fuller experience of life?
