OT students selected as Finalists in RESNA Student Design Competition

Congratulations to Shalini D'Souza and So Yeon Ahn (OT Post-Professional program) and their Developing Assistive Technology (E40.2900) classmate, Amanda Bernsohn (Tisch ITP) on their selection as one of nine finalist groups at this year's National Science Foundation sponsored RESNA Student Design Competition.  As finalists, the group was invited to present its battery driven, reverse gravity leg bag emptier project at this year's 2009 RESNA conference in New Orleans.  Travel was funded by NSF with additional support given by the NYU Tisch ITP program.  At the conference, Holly Cohen (Rusk Institute for Rehabilitation Medicine), who currently serves as a Clinical Mentor for the Developing Assistive Technology class also presented a poster highlighting an earlier collaborative Steinhardt OT /Tisch ITP project.
