Occupational Therapy (OT) can be an important part of many people's brain injury and stroke recovery. We want to give a big thank you to all the wonderful OTs out there and the specialized care they provide.

Did you know April is Occupational Therapy Month? Occupational therapists can help people with brain injury re-engage with meaningful activities that can be challenging post-injury, from support with things like bathing, dressing, and eating, to helping individuals re-engage with old hobbies or exploring new work or educational opportunities.
