Theraputic activity support group for wounded Iragi war veterans who have sustained traumatic brain injury (TBI) 2. The Health Professions Problem-Solvers Network: A brainstorming network for use by community members seeking rehabilitation related information. Such as consulting for home modifications and adaptations for individuals with physical challenges. 3. OT “Learning/Living Laboratory Resources, information and innovative occupational therapy services available to community members utilizing the SUNY Orange OTA lab facilities. 4.
