BX23 Rehabilitation and Disability Expo

Hundreds of people gathered at the Palace Hall in Brooklyn, New York to attend the BX23 Rehabilitation and Disability Expo. Several dozen vendors participated, some of whom traveled from out of state to attend, representing a broad and comprehensive range of pediatric and adult rehab facilities, therapy centers, providers, companies, agencies and organizations from the world of brain injury, stroke, spinal injury and other areas of disability and rehabilitation.

As at past expos, a special Research and Clinical Trials section offered attendees a rare opportunity to speak directly to scientists and researchers from leading facilities about cutting edge treatments and therapies.  The research section proved to be immensely popular, with people waiting their turn to speak to representatives from prestigious centers at the forefront of the latest advances in their fields.

Individuals with disabilities, family members and professionals were eager to take advantage of every possible opportunity to learn from and converse with physicians, therapists, facility representatives and experts in a variety of fields who participated on behalf of top acute, sub-acute, LTAC, and specialized outpatient and therapy centers.  Information was available regarding law and insurance, vision and cognitive therapy, devices, home care, communication and technology, as well as home and vehicle accessibility and driver rehabilitation.
