In this video, watch our Spinal Cord Injury Lifestyle Specialist, Aaron Baker, along with our Ostomy Lifestyle Specialist, Laura Cox, visit the Chicago Abilities Expo. They check out the different booths and take a look around to find all the latest innovations that are being offered to the disabled community. Aaron gets a chance to check in with a couple of friends from SmartDriv before he and Laura try out an Orion Twin Tandem Cycle – first with Laura steering, and then Aaron.
