In this video, watch our Spinal Cord Injury Lifestyle Specialist, Aaron Baker, along with our Ostomy Lifestyle Specialist, Laura Cox, visit the Chicago Abilities Expo. They check out the different booths and take a look around to find all the latest innovations that are being offered to the disabled community. Aaron gets a chance to check in with a couple of friends from SmartDriv before he and Laura try out an Orion Twin Tandem Cycle – first with Laura steering, and then Aaron.

I have been paralyzed from the waist down since 2013. I’ve been steadily gaining weight since then, and I’m starting to get self-conscious about it, especially since people already stare at me in my wheelchair. What are some exercises, things I can do to help me lose this extra weight?
Who makes and how does one get the door covers with huge wheelchairs?
My granddaughter is 21 and paralyzed. We live in rural SE Alabama. I feel so bad for her, just wish their was a local community she could be s part of.
