"Claire Argo, previously to her stroke, was running her own consulting business. She was organizing software training sessions for various groups. One day in 2003, she was unable to get out of bed, unable to get ready for a meeting with an important client, the National Defense. She had just suffered a Stroke.
In 2008, I took over a teaching course describing Occupational Therapy Interventions with impaired adults. I then realized that occupational therapy students had difficulty understanding the consequences of a stroke. They either minimized the efforts required to overcome the impairments, or they couldn't envision opportunities for the person to continue an active life despite the impairments. I immediately recalled my encounter with Claire Argo in 2006 at the University of Ottawa Interprofessional University Clinic. I thought of her as a very inspiring example showing how one could resume an active life after a stroke."
