OT evaluation: Ot evaluation should cover areas involving fine motor controls such as holding and using your toothbrush, eating utensils, a pen, etc. Furthermore, if the stroke left any sensory problems such as unusual tactile sensations, intolerance of tastes, textures, sensation, sound - basically anything sensory - these should be evaluated by the ot as well. Best of luck to you.

Very important: An occupational therapist is indeed an integral part of a rehabilitation team, and will help with assistive devices, coping skills, use of impaired limbs, and the reacquisition of activites of daily living.
