We would like to extend a well-deserved congratulations to our very own Dr. Lori Aden for receiving The Bridge Award from The Hospital Educator and Academic Liaison Association for her work with Reggie's Robots!
The Bridge Award honors the contributions of an individual or group whose work bridges the gap between hospital and school for students with medical and mental health needs.
As the Program Coordinator for Reggie's Robots, Dr. Aden has helped bring this robot to districts across Region 10! Reggie has helped students stay connected with their peers and teachers while recovering from injuries, illness or other factors that prevent them from being in the classroom. Reggie allows the student to develop strong teacher and peer relationships, stay socially connected, boost morale, provide tangible health benefits, and receive quality instruction without falling behind on coursework.
Let's all give a round of applause to Dr. Aden for this remarkable honor!
