EPISODE 25 What kind of supports should you seek? Accommodations? An OT? Both?

For college students on the spectrum, it's hard to predict what might be challenging.  Some folks are academically capable,  feel comfortable with accomodations, and find social stuff difficult. Others may be easy with social interactions, but find it hard to manage time and keep classwork organized. Procrastination can create stress and anxiety.  One way to get extra support is to find an OT.  OTs are occupational therapists -  trained to help anyone navigate their days by figuring out what's not working and collaborating with you to come up with strategies to make it easier. Karen Keptner is an OT and a professor of OT, and in this episode she talks with Katharine about what kinds of support  OTs can provide, how to find one on or off campus, and how to pay for services with insurance.
