Anyone know where the closest adult BPI specialist is to CT. I know NY has a few. Anywhere else that isn't listed on the resources directory?
Thanks.

Is this for a birth injured or trauma injured adult?

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.
- Location: New York

I saw Dr.Abbott in NY and he did the MRI for me. I tried several local neurologists and they did not have the least bit of knowledge on OBPI/adults. When I went for help I was offered all sort of pills. I needed PT and was told "there is no pain with ERB'S... My emg was so painful and I should have had a bpi specialist do it for me.
It is very important for adult/obpi to have a doctor who understands the injury and can see how this injury has changed their body. If I can help in anyway please let me know- - I live 40 minutes north west of NYC.
