The United States Federal Government is attempting to quietly attack your right to access federal buildings through the Department of Energy’s Dockets DOE-HQ-2025-0015 and DOE-HQ-2025-0024. They are attempting to do away with anti- discrimination requirements from Section 504 which is the pillar of anti-discrimination legislator for disabled people in the USA. This is a direct attack on your civil liberties, your rights, and the rights of millions of Disabled Americans.

But there is something you can do to stop this. Comments are open on the dockets until June 16, 2025. Go to the dockets and leave your thoughts. Personally, we will be telling the federal government that our rights to access federal buildings and anti-discrimation is not on the table.

We've been getting some questions about our coaching style. We use a model called Coaching in Context, designed by occupational therapists for occupational therapists. Our style hinges on 4 key pillars: Strengths-Forward, Client-Drive, Positive Psychology Based, and a Disability Justice Approach. These 4 principles ground our sessions allowing us to empower our clients through our coaching conversations.

Service Delivery Update: We are all VIRTUAL for the next new months! After a period of consideration, it was decided that all of our occupational therapy, coaching and consultation services will be primarily virtual for the foreseeable future.

As we operate primarily from a client-driven, neurodiversity-affirming, and strengths-based practice, we have seen just as much benefit to our clients being virtual as we do in-person services. Services will be taking place via phone, Zoom or other platform agreed upon by the therapist and family. This greatly expands our care circle for OT services to anyone in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Coaching services can be delivered to anyone in the USA or beyond.

Thank you for your understanding! We appreciate all of our RTI clients, current, past, and future!

If you have any questions, please contact us so we can address them.

Happy Disability Pride Month from Rhoads to Independence. We are proudly disabled and neurodivergent woman owned. Recently, Janine the OT and Coach at RTI and our founder was awarded a research inclusion grant from the Craig H. Nielsen Foundation. Janine has been working on her Doctorate for over a year now and this grant is a big door opener for her into research. Janine’s primary areas of focus are Coaching for people with SCI, neurodivergent students, and those with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Her doctoral study will be on coaching for those with EDS which is very exciting. Happy Disability Pride Month to all disabled people, and thank you as always for supporting us at RTI!

It’s been long overdue since I shared myself on here! My name is Janine I am the founder of Rhoads to Independence! In addition to that I am a neurodiversity affirming, strengths based occupational therapist and client driven Coach! I love working with people and empowering them to meet their goals.

Some things I love to do are spend time with my family, there are many of us, garden, hang out with my pets and advocate for disability inclusion and belonging. I’m a disabled and neurodivergent OT with a few different conditions that disable me. I have worked with on ways to include disabled OTPs and am working with them on a bigger project right now surrounding addressing the ableism that is so rampant in our profession. I’m very excited to be a small piece in changing OT for the better.

When not working or at home you can find me taking classes for my Doctorate in OT. I am a research Fellow and won a Craig H. Nielsen Grant that enables me to bring my unique perspective to the science field. My interest areas are around coaching, chronic illness, disability and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. It’s been amazing working with the research team and learning from them. I look forward to bringing EDS to the table for more studies into alternative and empowering treatments for the community.

Thats it for now! Thanks for being here and a part of RTI.

You may be surprised to learn this but we are a disabled woman owned business! In 2021, the US Census Bureau reported that only 3% of all business owners in the USA have a disability. RTI is proud to be disabled owned.
