Stroke, Functional Neurological Disorders, Concussion

Neurological Conditions

The goal of occupational therapy is to help you return to activities you’ve stopped and do more of what matters to you. We focus on improving your symptoms and abilities so you can confidently engage in daily life.

  • OT addresses changes in arm function, vision, cognition, and endurance after stroke. We work together to meet your goals, provide training to equip family members and care partners to support you, and provide education on brain health, including steps you can take to prevent another stroke.

    We offer new, more effective and intensive treatments, such as brain-training exercise games that you can do at home on your mobile device.

  • In OT we’ll work together so that you better understand what is often a confusing condition, and develop a personalized toolkit to improve your body’s regulation so that your symptoms decrease in intensity and frequency.

    While for many people it seems that their FND symptoms come out of the blue, in OT you’ll explore factors that contribute to your symptoms and develop strategies to regulate your body’s response to them. You’ll also learn how to modify activities that have been challenging, so that you can do them more easily.

    Our aim is to provide you with the skills and tools to gradually return to activities and roles that are important to you.

  • People who have had concussions can have a range of symptoms including fatigue, brain fog, nausea, sensitivity to light and noise, and blurred or double vision. These make it difficult to return to school and work, be in crowded or noisy settings, read, and spend time with family and friends.

    In occupational therapy, you’ll learn techniques and exercises to improve your symptoms, and strategies to manage them so that when they occur, they don’t spike. Together we will problem solve how to slowly return to challenging activities and settings by using pacing, environmental modifications, and self-regulation strategies.
