Carolyn Brown, OTD, OTR/L, CSRS, CLT

Executive Director

Health insurance plans continue to reduce the number of therapy visits for our clients and high insurance deductibles and copays cause many clients to feel financial pressure. This website stemmed from a desire to assist people who are experiencing these health insurance disparities and to offer a long-term guide for the self-management of your stroke. Setting small daily and weekly goals is the key to improving your physical health and quality of life. 

Carolyn's specialty areas in stroke rehabilitation include paired Vagus-Nerve Stimulation using Vivistim®,  the Lifestyle Redesign® model, Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy, and Saebo orthotics. She has 10 years of experience as a clinical instructor for university students.

Carolyn wishes to thank the co-creators of StrokeOT.org, Siobhan Kemple and Micaela Galley who took on this adventure during their occupational therapy student fieldwork experience.  Thank you Siobhan and Micaela for your dedication and contributions to our profession! I also thank occupational therapy fieldwork students who contributed to this website: Allison Zuccaro and Gabby Buckman as well as the interns from Connecticut Bureau for Rehabilitation Services for their input on this website.
