#OTMONTH advances health, well-being, and quality of life. The impact of a great occupational therapist can ripple through a person's life - whether it is the one who experienced the stroke or their loved ones. "Rehab is a full-time commitment after stroke, and even when a full recovery becomes unlikely (if not impossible), therapy continues because incremental improvements are still worth fighting for. It is a grind; it is frustrating; and, at times, the slow rate of improvement does not seem worth the effort. But there are also times of inspiration, markers of progress beyond what you’re told to expect, and milestones that open up new levels of independence and keep us moving."
