WELCOME TO THE BRAINY OT
BEHIND THE BRAIN
Occupational Therapist + Certified Stroke Rehabilitation Specialist
Hi fellow Neuro Nerds! My name is Crystal Cabrera and I am an occupational therapist in South Florida. I graduated with my Masters in Occupational Therapy in 2014 and have since immersed myself in the world of neurological rehabilitation. My passions include working with the neurological population, educating others with regards to best practice to optimize functional recovery, and tackling healthcare bias in its many forms. "The Brainy OT" was made to serve as a platform for education and resources to lessen the gap in what research and up to date practitioners know versus what is done in the clinic.
IS THE BRAINY OT FOR YOU?
This site will serve to empower clients, their caregivers, rehab students, rehab professionals, and the general public to lessen the gap between knowledge and action for neurological conditions and functional recovery.

I'D LOBE TO HEAR FROM YOU!
