NMEDA Showcases Auto Mobility Solutions at APTA Combined Sections Conference in Boston

The NMEDA team braved the cold and snowy weather in Boston from February 15-17, 2024, to participate in the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) Combined Sections annual conference, held at the Boston Convention and Exposition Center.

NMEDA’s Director of Partner Relations, Trevor Jennings, and Director of Education, Training and Conference, Amy Lane, joined forces with Kristina White from BraunAbility to engage with over 12,000 physical therapists from across the country in the expo hall. A special thank you to MobilityWorks for their support on this event; thanks to them we were able to showcase an accessible vehicle with multiple examples of adaptive driving equipment.

Throughout the three-day event, attendees were introduced to a range of adaptive driving equipment and vehicle options. NMEDA emphasized the importance of understanding where to refer clients for the best outcomes when purchasing vehicles or adaptive driving equipment. Conference attendees were provided with valuable resources to assist their clients who may require vehicle modifications and are exploring personal mobility options.

The APTA Combined Sections conference served as an excellent platform for NMEDA to advocate for safe automotive mobility among physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, PT students, and academia.

NMEDA remains committed to advancing accessibility and independence through auto mobility solutions. Attendance at events like the APTA Combined Sections conference are instrumental in creating opportunities for dialogue as well as fostering collaboration within the healthcare industry.
