What if ADHD wasn’t something to “fix” — but something to understand and support?

In this inspiring episode, Amy sits down with Dr. Rubina, founder of Abilities Occupational Therapy, to talk about innovation in healthcare, restoring independence through driving assessments, and empowering children and adults with ADHD using strengths-based strategies.

With 19 years of clinical experience, Dr. Rubina shares how her passion for lifelong learning and calculated risk-taking helped her build a niche occupational therapy practice serving Albertans at every stage of life. From medical driving evaluations to launching a pediatric feeding clinic and ADHD coaching services, her work is rooted in collaboration, curiosity, and mindset.

One of the most powerful moments in this episode is her perspective on independence. For many clients, regaining the ability to drive is more than getting a license back. It means freedom. It means visiting a spouse in a seniors’ residence. It means dignity, connection, and mental wellness.

Dr. Rubina also opens up about living with ADHD herself. She explains why strategies and coaching should often come before medication, and how shifting mindset alone can create meaningful change. Rather than pathologizing ADHD, she focuses on empowering individuals to leverage their strengths while building practical coping tools.
