Cindi has practiced as an occupational therapist for 29 years in multiple healthcare settings, treating individuals with traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, progressive neurodegenerative diseases, amputees, and aging adults. Since becoming an ATP in 2001, she has gained extensive experience in the industry of complex rehab technologies (CRT) and home accessibility.
