Function! – Workshop #1 A S
Magdalena Love, OTR, Clinical Education Specialist, Permobil Inc.
with Tiphany Adams, Star of Sundance Channel's “Push Girls”
Standing is an intervention that has been gaining attention
recently. In addition to the physiological benefits of weight
bearing (standing), the increase in functional performance
that standing provides makes it a desirable feature on a
wheelchair base. This session will look at the research
supporting standing wheelchairs and will discuss how to use
this research to support a consumer's need for a standing
wheelchair. Several successful case studies of people using
standing wheelchairs (both manual and power) will also be
shared.

Nick Scott, President and Founder, Wheelchair Athletics
Foundation; Abilities Expo National Ambassador
Does the perceived challenge of planning accessible travel
keep you from going places? It may not be easy, but it does
not need to be that hard. ABLE to Travel, an agency that
specializes in the types of issues a person with a disability
may encounter, is here to help make your trip accessible
from start to finish and alleviate the headache for you! In this
workshop the presenter will discuss the Air Carrier Access,
the 2010 ADA Standards that have mandated increased
accessibility to hotels and other travel destinations, tips for
travelers, maneuvering through airport security and the
mandates from TSA, and cruises (one of the most accessible
ways to travel). Learn more at www.abletotravel.org.
Nick Scott is a paraplegic who went from being overweight
and discouraged to becoming a professional bodybuilder, a
wheelchair ballroom dancer and a personal trainer. Discover
at this session how you too can gain the skills to improve
your fitness and overall wellbeing. There is no one nutrition
or exercise regimen that is exactly right for everyone. We all
start with different abilities, limitations and capabilities. Nick
will discuss the process of adapting exercises to meet your
unique situation. You'll also learn about mindset, stretching,
setting goals, the importance of rest, food choices, and
developing your self-motivation. Learn more at

disabilities. There are many different types, focusing on
everything from the simple to the complex, including short
surveys, pharmaceutical trials, and complex surgeries. Jen
joins us to discuss the experiences of trial participants,
including her own. She will highlight the need-to-know issues
and discuss the many considerations to review before joining
a clinical trial. Get the tools to help you in the decision-making
process and the resources to learn about clinical trials. Learn

Horse Boy Method: No Horses Required – Workshop #1
Joell Dunlap, Executive Director, Square Peg Ranch, a
HorseBoy™ Center
K
A S
Discover how this method, designed primarily for children
with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) but with benefits for
nearly everyone, offers options to families for whom
traditional classroom learning is proving to be ineffective.
Joell Dunlap will discuss the child-led approach to teaching
everything from language to science using the environment,
movement and most of all - fun. Learn how you can create a
"yes" (rather than a "no") environment for children with
sensory and ASD. Breakthrough principles such as
"communication not compliance" and "start where the child
is, not where you wish him to be" will also be illustrated. The
method offers parents choices and success for children who
find disappointment and "failure" in other approaches. It
gives permission to choose alternate ways of education and
brings fun and enjoyment back to learning and parenting.
