Adaptive Fashion Show Featured in PIX11 News Segment
An adaptive fashion show hosted by the Adele Smithers Parkinson’s Disease Treatment Center was featured on PIX11 News. The segment, which included interviews with Adena Leder, D.O., director of the Parkinson’s program, and models from the New York Tech Rock Steady Boxing program, demonstrated how the Center helps to maximize the quality of life for those with Parkinson’s disease. As the PIX11 coverage notes, “For those who are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, everyday activities such as getting dressed in the morning can be challenging. [The] unique fashion show was put together to showcase ‘adaptive clothing’ that helps patients maintain their independence…and featured “easy-on, easy-off” clothing, shoes, and accessories.”
