PARENT AND PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION

Our website content and publications are based on published research, with expert commentary and anecdotal information where appropriate. Parents, clinicians, educators, and therapists alike can access our research-based information.  Our conferences help parents learn from experts so they can help their child success across the lifespan.

INNOVATION

We collaborate with great innovators to bring ideas to life. The Airy Arm and Frog Arm are two prototypes for 3D printed hand exoskeletons to help children with hemiparesis use their affected hand. Our hemianopsia simulators will someday help parents, caregivers, and educators experience what it’s like to navigate the world with homonymous hemianopsia.

SPECIAL EDUCATION ADVOCACY AND SCHOOL TRAINING
