Occupational Therapy for Real Life: Home & Daily Living Solutions for People with FSHD

Presenter: Cynthia Lourie, MS, OTR/L, ECHM, CAPS

Living with FSHD can make everyday tasks, from getting dressed to preparing meals to navigating your home, more challenging. Occupational therapy (OT) focuses on helping people build or maintain independence in the activities that matter most by adapting techniques, tools, and environments to better support their needs.

In this FSHD University webinar, licensed occupational therapist Cindy Lourie draws on 30 years of clinical experience to walk participants through practical strategies for thriving with FSHD. Cindy will share how OTs can support both patients and caregivers, offer examples of meaningful home modifications, demonstrate mobility and daily living solutions, and discuss lifestyle “hacks” that make daily routines easier, safer, and more accessible.

Whether you’re looking to stay independent longer, reduce strain and fatigue, or rethink how to set up your home, this session will provide actionable insights you can put to use right away.
