Let’s Move Mountains
Life with spinal cord injury, paralysis and other complex disabilities often comes with immense challenges, from employment to quality healthcare and caregiving support to living a full life in a world that is not always accessible or inclusive. At Reeve Summit 2025, individuals living with paralysis, caregivers, families, healthcare providers, scientists and others will join forces to discuss creative solutions and take on these challenges together.
Let’s move mountains as a community.
Reeve Summit 2025 is set to break barriers, driving change through creativity and community.
Join us in conversations around crucial issues facing the paralysis community:

Communication Access
All sessions will include ASL interpreters and closed captioning. Conference materials are available in alternative formats upon request. Please indicate your communication access needs when registering for the Summit.
Sensory Considerations
We recognize that loud noises, bright lights, and fragrances can be overwhelming for some attendees. While we cannot entirely control these and other aspects of the environment, we encourage attendees to take breaks as needed and prioritize self-care. We also ask everyone to be mindful of fragrance use, as it may affect others.
Support Services
For those with service animals, a designated relief area will be identified. If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, notify us during your Summit registration so we can make sure your needs are met.
Masking and Sanitation
We encourage all attendees to participate in ways that make them feel safe. The Summit is a mask-friendly event, and we will have masks available and hand sanitizer stations throughout the venue.
These measures are in place to ensure an inclusive, accessible experience for all. If you have any questions about accessibility at the Reeve Summit, or want to request a reasonable accommodation, please email us at [email protected].
