RDSIS was one of the original Special Interest Sections created in 1977. The others included developmental disabilities, gerontology (now productive aging), mental health, and sensory integration (now sensory integration & processing).
The RDSIS is also host to two additional membership groups: The Hand Rehabilitation Subsection and the Driving/Driver Rehabilitation Network.

I find it invigorating working with volunteers all over the country on innovative ideas to enhance membership engagement, evidenced-based practice, and advocacy efforts. Innovation to meet members' needs is what really drive me!
