Occupations Are Not Limited to ADLs and IADLs

Creator of BOT Portal 

Nice to meet you. 

I’m an occupational therapist who kept seeing the same problem:

Patients who looked “fine” on testing…
but struggled in real life.

They could move—but something felt off.
They could start—but couldn’t finish.
They could function—but broke down under pressure.

No one was explaining it clearly.

So I built a system to do exactly that.


BOT Portal is built around functional cognition—
understanding how the brain performs in real-world tasks, not just in testing.


This platform is designed for clinicians who want to:

  • explain what they’re seeing with confidence
  • connect cognition to real-world performance
  • document and justify skilled services
  • move beyond surface-level treatment

This isn’t just about learning more.
It’s about understanding your patients better.
