The Neuro Wall

An interactive activities of daily living wall to support individuals recovering from stroke.

About The Neuro Wall

The NeuroWall project came about from Occupational Therapy Student Sophia Shockey working on her capstone. It's an interactive Activities of Daily Living wall with a goal to support individuals with physical and cognitive symptoms in stroke recovery. Her project integrates evidence-based OT principles to promote neuroplasticity, independence, and engagement in meaningful movement-based programs, showcasing the value of collaboration, education, and sustainable recovery.
