In this week’s ARISE podcast, Tania Anderson, CEO of ARISE,talks to Dr. Nienke Dosa, Developmental Pediatrician at Upstate Hospital. Dr. Dosa, who specializes in neurodevelopmental disabilities says patients benefit medically from adaptive design devices by strengthening arms, legs and core muscles. Dosa says adaptive design solutions also help children enter their peer community through play and recreation which is extremely vital for healthy development. Dosa says, “early learning is motor learning and if children can’t get to where they want to go that affects their development globally.”
