đź“Ť Virtual via Zoom

Kessler Foundation and the Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems invite you to an engaging discussion on how technology and mobility solutions can support independence while aging with spinal cord injury.

Learn about:
• Smart technology for aging in place (voice assistants, home automation, safety tools)

As March comes to a close, we reflect on both Developmental Disability Awareness Month and Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness Month. 🧠

This month, we celebrated the strength, resilience, and contributions of our community, while advancing research that improves lives.

At Kessler Foundation, awareness is just the beginning. We remain committed to driving discovery, expanding opportunities, and creating a more inclusive future, every day of the year.

After sustaining a traumatic brain injury, Norman Lim found new purpose through research at Kessler Foundation, including studies exploring how something as simple as a nap can make a difference.

Research shows that even a short nap may help the brain strengthen newly learned skills, improving motor performance and making everyday tasks feel more automatic.

For Norman, participating in research wasn’t just about recovery, it was about contributing to discoveries that can help others rebuild their lives after TBI.

His story is a powerful reminder that progress can come from unexpected places… even a moment of rest.

💡 Because recovery isn’t always about doing more, it’s also about knowing when to pause.

Sleep after a brain injury isn’t just about rest, it’s part of recovery. 🧠

Research from Kessler Foundation shows that 50–70% of individuals with traumatic brain injury experience sleep disruptions, from difficulty falling asleep to frequent waking.

And the impact goes beyond fatigue. Poor sleep can affect memory, mood, focus, and overall quality of life.

The good news? With the right support, healthy sleep habits, and continued research, better outcomes are possible.

🎙️ In an interview with Radio LoRa Switzerland, Dr. Trevor Dyson-Hudson discusses the growing importance of aging with spinal cord injury—including later onset, chronic pain, and other health conditions that may develop over time.

As the average age of SCI onset has increased from 29 in the 1970s to 44 today, understanding the long-term needs of this community has become a key clinical and research priority.
