As an Atlanta injury attorney practicing throughout Georgia with a special interest in spinal cord and traumatic brain injury cases, I was glad to see that Shepherd Center, within walking distance from my office, will host the North American Neurorehabilitation Symposium on August 27 and 28, 2010.

The program is designed primarily for medical professionals and users of Houma rehab equipment, and will cover a variety of spinal cord and brain injury rehabilitation topics including several presentations on aspects of robotics in rehab.

I would like to attend if possible, but first would have to resolve conflicts with a trial calendar and a foundation board meeting.
