In the fourth episode of the Progressive Multiple Sclerosis Webinar Series, Robert Joyce interviews Lorna Spellman (Occupational Therapist) to learn how occupational therapy can help people with multiple sclerosis become more resilient, by using the many tool and techniques which an OT can advise.

Robert Joyce was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting MS in 1992 and now has Secondary Progressive MS. He has a blog and podcast where he shares his experience of living with MS and chronic pain (www.a30minutelife.com).

Lorna Spellman

Since graduating in 2015 with a degree in Health Promotion and Physical Activity, I wanted to pursue a career that focused on people’s health and well-being.

I discovered the world of Occupational Therapy and found it aligned with my values and my passion to enable people to increase their independence in a way that is meaningful to them. I returned to academia in 2017 and completed a Masters in Occupational Therapy.

Since then, I have worked with a broad range of people across a variety of practice areas in both the NHS and HSE Health services As Occupational Therapists, we focus on enabling engagement in daily activities and promoting both physical and mental health.
