Orlando, FL––United Spinal Association is hosting an exclusive new forum addressing the specific needs and concerns of all individuals with disabilities on August 27 and 28 in Orlando, FL.
Creating Your Future: Living with a Disability is a two-day consumer conference and expo featuring over 100 nationally-known vendors showcasing the latest in products and services for people with disabilities.
This includes hands-on experience with state-of-the-art assistive technology; the latest in durable medical equipment, rehabilitation supplies, and accessibility gear; and the answers persons with disabilities need from knowledgeable professionals on pain management, personal care issues, research updates, pharmaceutical solutions and more.
In addition, there are 18 informative sessions such as “Assistive Technology Meets the Computer,” “It’s a Family Affair—Family Issues and Disability,” “Spasticity,” “Let’s Talk About Sex—Ask the Experts,” “I’ve Got to Work,” and “Caregivers 101.”
“With a distinguished faculty from some of the most respected institutions in the country, this is a ‘can’t miss’ opportunity to discover the most effective strategies for living with a disability, networking with colleagues and getting a firsthand look at the latest in products and services for individuals with disabilities,” said Paul J. Tobin, President and CEO of United Spinal Association.
Demonstrations, events and special offers will also highlight Creating Your Future: Living with a Disability. Children and adults will have the option of playing adaptive sports such as wheelchair tennis and football, power soccer and quad rugby with United Spinal’s Sports and Recreation Department, and witness live demonstrations of the remarkable skills of service animals and their trainers.
