Students from PT, OT, PA and SLP came together to take part in an interprofessional learning opportunity. Interprofessional groups worked together to learn about five of the more common 'rare' diagnoses. Deepest gratitude to Avery Roberts, our guest speaker, who shared herself, her community, and her tips for all healthcare providers. Thank you to all who planned and participated!

LIvin' the DREAM!

This week DREAM, led by the extraordinary Agnes McConlogue Ferro, culminated in a joyful performance featuring over 70 children from across the tri-state area. They lit up the stage with talent, courage, and heart, cheered on by an incredible audience of family, friends, and supporters.
We were also honored to have seven members of Stony Brook’s LEND program and Dean Stacy Jaffee Gropack in attendance.

Agnes is beyond grateful for the support that made this week so special:
✨ Katie D’Angelo (3rd year DPT), who literally saved the day — stepping in to help and even performing in place of a student who couldn’t make it.
✨ Ashley Pav (DPT, alum), who brought one of her Suffolk County students because she believes so deeply in the power and promise of this program.

This is what inclusion looks like. This is what community feels like. This is what DREAM makes possible.

Stony Brook PROUD! ❤️

Make sure you catch Mr G's interview with DREAM:

April is Autism Awareness Month!

Autism Awareness Month celebrates and honors the experiences and identities of individuals with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. It emphasizes understanding, inclusion, advocacy, and support, moving beyond awareness towards meaningful acceptance.

The School of Health Professions, in collaboration with the SBU Alumni Association, will host a virtual panel discussion on April 9, 2026, from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. If you know a SHP alum or student who provides care for and/or experiences care for individuals with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder, we would love to hear their perspectives and lived experiences that encompass both challenges and achievements.

If anyone is interested, they should complete our panelist interest form.
