The Skills for Life: Bilateral Upper Limb Loss Workshop is a unique event dedicated to people who are missing both arms or all four limbs. Missing both arms or all four limbs is a rare occurrence and being around others who are in a similar situation is a life changing event.

Typically this is a 3.5 day in person international workshop that includes presentations by limb loss individuals, therapists, prosthetists, physicians, case managers and others. These workshops provide unique opportunities to teach, learn or exchange techniques for being more independent at home and in the community, including basic self-care tasks that most of us take for granted such as eating, dressing, bathing or toileting.

It is the only event in the world that brings together over 70 individuals who are living without both arms, their family members or caregivers, as well as experts in the limb loss rehabilitation field.
