Specialized In-Home Neurological & Low-Vision Rehab Across Dane County
Dedicated to helping stroke survivors, TBI achievers, and families navigating Parkinson’s or MS safely reclaim their independence without the exhaustion of clinic travel.
Why I Bring Specialized Neuro Therapy Directly to Your Living Room
As an occupational therapist, I spent years working inside major inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation centers. I saw patients work incredibly hard to achieve clinical goals in a controlled hospital gym.
But when they went home, reality hit.
A sterile hospital room doesn't look like your kitchen in Middleton or your bathroom steps in Sun Prairie. I watched families leave the hospital feeling completely overwhelmed, left to figure out how to navigate real-life challenges on their own:
Holding your breath every time your spouse stands up from the couch, terrified of a middle-of-the-night fall, or watching them lose their dignity because they are struggling to zip a heavy jacket or button a shirt.
Feeling the silent panic of a stroke or concussion survivor who looks fine on the outside, but finds themselves constantly dropping their car keys, hitting a wall of neurological fatigue by 11:00 AM, or losing their place while trying to read an email.
I founded Neuro Connections to fix this gap. You shouldn't have to spend your limited energy driving through Madison traffic to sit in a sensory-overloading outpatient clinic. We practice your recovery where it actually matters: in your real life, using your own furniture, your own utensils, and your own routines.
Advanced Neuro & Low-Vision Specialization You Can Trust
Neurological recovery requires a deep understanding of neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to rewire itself after an injury. I hold a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and have completed an advanced Graduate Certificate in Low Vision Rehabilitation.
This specialized training allows me to address complex deficits that general home health care often misses:
Cortical Visual Impairments: Helping stroke and TBI patients navigate severe visual field cuts so they can read comfortably and avoid bumping into door frames.
Neuro-Motor Re-education: Using targeted, high-repetition tasks to wake up a weak arm or hand, moving from basic reflex patterns to functional grips like holding a coffee mug.
Cognitive-Executive Strategy: Implementing energy-conservation frameworks for high-functioning adults determined to return to demanding corporate environments in Dane County.
Are you a local physician or case manager? I provide a seamless continuum of care for your patients discharging from inpatient rehab. I see patients in days, not weeks reducing the risk of rehospitalization.
Answers to Common Questions About In-Home Neuro Rehab in Madison
What makes neuro occupational therapy different from standard home health care?
Traditional home health is typically short-term, basic safety care focused on minimal stabilization after a hospital stay. As a specialized neuro and low-vision OT, my focus is on intensive rehabilitation and neuroplasticity. We don't just check if you can walk safely; we work on the exact fine-motor and visual skills required to feed yourself, cook a meal, use a tablet, or prepare to return to work.
In home health care, you are required to be home-bound. This means it is challenging to get out of your home. With Neuro Connections you are not required to be homebound, meaning you can go to the grocery store or a birthday party and not be concerned about therapy ending.
Can an in-home OT help someone who had a stroke several years ago?
Absolutely! Chronic stroke recovery is entirely possible. The brain retains its capacity for neuroplastic adaptation long after the initial event. If a survivor is still struggling with hand stiffness or vision modifications years later, performing therapy within their actual home layout frequently unlocks functional progress that clinic-based exercises couldn't achieve.
