I worked with them to try to find things that would help me succeed at work better. Eventually they had an occupational therapist follow me for a few days (I'm an OT too so this was a little weird but also let her be extremely specific in her recommendations compared to if I were in another profession). And her recommendations mostly came down to educating the people I was working with that making slight accommodations would make everything better. Somewhere along the line my provider changed and he recommended SSDI which I was not at all ready to do.

It would have been more helpful if I was wanting to find a new career I think. It turned out that to succeed in my profession I needed to work in a very specific environment and I didn't find that until several years later.

It was a hurry up and wait process for me I think. I can't remember much else. Please ask questions if you have them and I'll see what comes back to me.
