Skills for Life is shaping up to be another amazing event and program! We received an overwhelming response to our call for papers and received abstracts from as far away as Australia and Japan! The preliminary program will be posted on our website sometime in June. We hope you can make plans to join us for this life changing workshop! Some of the topics covered in our program include: driving adaptations, smart/homes, home automation, sexuality/intimacy, surgical considerations, hobbies/sports, sepsis, ADLs (from dressing and bathing to makeup and home management), travel tips, advocacy, foot skills, case management, latest prosthetic technology and many more!
 
Thanks to our amazing sponsors/exhibitors!! This event would not be possible without their support! TIRR Memorial Hermann, US-ISPO, Hanger, Ossur, Motion Control/Fillauer, Advanced Arm Dynamics, Coapt, TRS, Muilenburg, Amputee Coalition, Ottobock, Handspring, Infinite Biomedical Technologies, College Park, TAD, Canine Companions for Independence, Martin Bionics and Biodesigns/Mobius and Amazon.
