All About Autism Podcast 053: An Interview With Sarah Grant of the Utah Autism Project and President of UOTA

Posted on August 17, 2013 by producer

Hi, and welcome to Episode 053 of the All About Autism Podcast. For this episode, your hosts Dave and Heather Eaton interview Sarah Grant, the president of the Utah Occupational Therapy Association. Sarah is also on the board of directors for the Utah Autism Project. Listeners can consider this episode to be a Part 2, of sorts, from last week’s interview with Gabe Byars, because we explore the field of occupational therapy more.

Also in this episode, Dave and Heather talk about a study that suggests that autism may be linked with inducing and hastening labor. And Heather’s friend, Bill, gets caught stealing, so he talks about these events and the consequence that followed.

The All About Autism Podcast is talk radio for those desiring to be familiarized, energized, apprised, advised and empathized with regarding all things Autism. Your husband-and-wife hosts, Dave and Heather Eaton, bring you a weekly show with new releases every single Saturday. Continue reading →
