Alicia Reiser, OTD, MS, OTR/L, ADHD-RSP: OT in Remedial Vision Rehab

In this episode, we will learn from Alicia Reiser, OTD, MS OTR/L, ADHD-RSP. With over 24 years of experience as an occupational therapist, Dr. Reiser is passionate about redefining rehabilitation through a truly integrative and evidence-based lens. After earning her clinical doctorate from Salus University at Drexel in 2018, specializing in vision remediation, Alicia opened her private practice, A Rise Above Occupational Therapy Services, the same year. Her practice was born from a mission to bridge the gap for individuals recovering from concussions, as well as those with ADHD who were often underserved, aged out of traditional services, or never realized how transformative occupational therapy could be. At A Rise Above, Alicia combines neurological rehabilitation with vision remediation, cognitive retraining, trauma-informed care, interoceptive awareness, and polyvagal interventions to address autonomic nervous system dysregulation. Her holistic, brain-based approach helps clients regain not just function—but balance, confidence, and control in daily life. Dr. Reiser’s work reflects her commitment to helping people truly rise above their challenges through science, compassion, and innovation in occupational therapy.Contact & Resources:Website: www.ariseaboveoccupationaltherapyservies.comBook and consulting website link: https://neurotconsulting.com/Business website: https://www.ariseaboveoccupationaltherapyservices.com/Blog: https://www.ariseaboveoccupationaltherapyservices.com/post/top-3-reasons-why-occupational-therapy-and-optometry-should-be-best-friendsYouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjYkggEWqhKMVwWuX-jaoeQFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ARiseAboveOT/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Neurot-Consulting-61556820418616/IG: https://www.instagram.com/ariseaboveot/IG: https://www.instagram.com/neurot.consulting/Drexel OTD program: https://drexel.edu/academics/grad-professional-programs/cnhp/occupational-therapy-post-professionalresources/articles: https://scholarworks.wmich.edu/ojot/vol8/iss4/6/https://scholarworks.wmich.edu/ojot/vol11/iss3/8/https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.covd.org/resource/resmgr/vdr/vdr_6_3/vdr6-3_article_fessier_web.pdfhttps://scholarworks.wmich.edu/ojot/vol12/iss4/2/Book: https://www.routledge.com/Understanding-and-Managing-Vision-Deficits-A-Guide-for-Occupational-Therapists/Scheiman/p/book/9781032882871AOTA Community of Practice: Occupation Based Neuro Remedial Vision Rehab: https://www.aota.org/community/communities-of-practiceNORA: https://noravisionrehab.org/Screening tool: Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey (CISS): https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2782898/figure/F2/Screening tool: QOL Symptom Survey: https://www.oepf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/JBO-18-2-Harris.pdfAs always, I welcome any feedback & ideas from all of you, or if you are interested in being a guest on future episodes, please do not hesitate to contact Patricia Motus at [e-mail] or DM via Instagram @transitionsotTHANK YOU for LISTENING, FOLLOWING, DOWNLOADING, RATING, REVIEWING & SHARING “The Uncommon OT Series” Podcast with all your OTP friends and colleagues!Full Episodes and Q & A only available at:https://www.wholistic-transitions.com/the-uncommon-ot-seriesSign Up NOW for the Transitions OT Email List to Receive the FREEUpdated List of Uncommon OT Practice Settingshttps://www.wholistic-transitions.com/transitionsotTo Add Your Profile to The Uncommon OT Directory:https://www.wholistic-transitions.com/requestFor Non-Traditional OT Practice Mentorship w/ Patricia:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeC3vI5OnK3mLrCXACEex-5ReO8uUVPo1EUXIi8FKO-FCfoEg/viewformHappy Listening Friends!
