Do It! Spinal Cord Injury Program

Director: Laurie Allen Schneider, MS ED, PT

The Do-It! Program helps people reconnect with the community by offering both individual therapies and group classes that emphasize health promotion, wellness and advocacy. For example, the Peak Performance class uses chair yoga, seated tai chi and qigong, breathwork, meditation and guided imagery to help participants learn new ways to improve wellness.

Many other group activities are offered, including

• Computer education
• Community integration
• Transitions
• Peer support

In recent years, support from the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation, the New York Chapter of the National Spinal Cord Injury Association, The Alan T. Brown Foundation and The Ethan Ruby Foundation has made possible an array of services and programs normally not available in outpatient programs.
