This episodes guest is Jason Kreuzman. Jason is a pediatric Occupational Therapist and owner of RewireOT, an outpatient clinic in St. Louis, Missourithat specializes in the treatment of Functional Neurological Disorder, chronic pain and related diagnosis. He created the online FND resource website (RewireOT.com) aimed at education, advocacy and improving access to FND resources with an OT and youth/young adult focus. Jason is a Founding member of the FND Society and is a Co-chair of the FND Society Pediatric Special Interest Group Community Awareness subcommittee. Through collaboration with the FND Society, Jason is currently leading work on developing pediatric FND Occupational and Physical Therapy treatment consensus recommendations.

We discussed occupational therapist role in the treatment of pediatric FND, stigma or hesitancy among OT clinician's regarding FND, and pediatric OT specific FND recommendations. We also discussed "rewiring the predictive brain", the impact of the senses on FND, and the importance of creating resources, education, and FND advocacy in collaboration with patients and caregivers. 

 This was such an enjoyable and informative conversation, we hope you enjoy it too.
