October is National Physical Therapy Month, a time to raise awareness about the benefits of physical therapy and celebrate the contributions of physical therapists and assistants. So, we invited to the show Jean Minkel who is considered by many a pioneer in physical therapy when combined with assistive technology.
A physical therapist and master clinician internationally recognized for her work in assistive technology, Jean is also an independent consultant who provides educational and consulting service to all members of the Assistive Technology team – consumers, therapists, suppliers, manufacturers and payers.
Jean is the former director of the Seating and Mobility Program at the Center for Rehabilitation Technology at Helen Hayes Hospital in West Haverstraw, NY. She has co-authored a Wheelchair Selection Guide and a textbook titled, “Seating and Wheeled Mobility: A Clinical Resource Guide.”
Jean has been recognized by the assistive technology community for her expertise and contributions with the RESNA Fellow award in 1995 and the Sam McFarland Mentor Award in 2012.
