Todd (L) and Dennis (R).
We are sorry to say that the April 15, 2020 AWS date is cancelled. This is to comply with CDC guidelines as regards COVID-19 (Coronavirus).
You can still participate in the Amputee Walking School 2020 Steps Challenge even while you are “social distancing”! Amputee Walking School founders Todd and Dennis have just posted the information and want you to get involved! They talk about this activity as part of the Amputee Walking School program, and have set up a little state-to-state friendly competition to motivate people. You can check it out by clicking here!
We will look forward to having them back with us (and co-hosts University of Maryland Rehabilitation and Orthopaedic Institute - UM Rehab) in Baltimore in June 2020. Notice that the June session will be on Saturday - this is to coincide with Peer Visitor training from the Amputee Coalition, at UM Rehab. Other dates have been set for the remaining 2020 sessions of Amputee Walking School. In the meantime, stay safe and healthy, and watch your steps!
