Neuroplasticity, the brain’s capacity to rewire itself in response to change, means months or even years after injury, the brain can reroute synaptic connections to improve its function.

With Veterans Day right around the corner, this edition is dedicated to Veterans, service members, and the incredible families who support them.

For this issue, we wanted to focus on something that unites and excites us— sports and athletics. We’re hoping to hit a home run with stories about striking a (yoga) pose, duathlon training, and exploring disability-friendly, adaptable options for fandom and physical fitness!

This issue is really for the kids and is all about fun and games. Our cover story is about an incredible group of people redefining the meaning of family. You’ll also meet a remarkable woman who’s on a mission to keep children and adults with cognitive issues moving and grooving.
