Hickok Center for Brain Injury A non-profit organization that supports the survivors of brain injury and those affected by other neurological challeneges.

HISTORY: The Hickok Center for Brain Injury is a non-profit 501(3)(c) organization first incorporated in Rochester, New York in 1989. In April 1996 we began accepting participants (often referred to as members, though we are not a membership organization, but rather consider ourselves a family). We are located at 2320 Brighton Henrietta TL Rd in Rochester, NY.

🌱 Last week, Hickok Center participants enjoyed an outing to the Lamberton Conservatory! Participants explored the beautiful plants and wildlife throughout the conservatory, learned about the turtles, tortoises, and other animals that call it home, and took plenty of photos to share their experience with loved ones.

Outings like these give our participants the opportunity to explore new environments, learn about the world around them, and engage with their community while creating memories together!

Last month we welcomed a new group of Nazareth University Physical Therapy students who will be working with our participants throughout the semester! (Nazareth University Nazareth University Doctor of Physical Therapy program )

Here’s a recap of their first visit, the students spent time meeting with each participant and learning about their interests, needs, and goals for physical therapy. They also completed physical assessments to get a better understanding of each participant’s individual abilities and where they’d like to make progress.

Over the next several weeks, the students will use what they learned during these initial meetings to work hands-on with participants and support their individual PT goals! We are excited to share more of these physical therapy sessions.

Stay tuned to catch up on what the student have done so far with our group!

🛍️ Last week, Hickok Center participants enjoyed an outing to TJ Maxx! Participants spent time browsing the aisles, checking out different items, and doing a little shopping together.

Community outings like this provide opportunities to practice decision-making, money management, and independence while building confidence in everyday settings. 💙💚💛

Yesterday, our team spent the day together on Conesus Lake for our annual staff retreat! 💙💚💛

This year’s theme was “Who Am I? Who Are We?” Throughout the day, we learned more about each other and how our individual strengths and personalities help make the Hickok Center what it is. We shared our Hickok stories, favorite songs, created our very own Hickok playlist, and enjoyed games, a scavenger hunt, and plenty of laughs! Staff also had the opportunity to step into the roles of their coworkers, gaining a better understanding of what each person brings to our team. Together, we worked on dream boards to share our ideas and hopes for how we want the Hickok Center to grow in the future.

We also took time to recognize the coworkers who make our workdays better and enjoyed breakfast, lunch, personalized gifts, and matching shirts!

Staff retreats give us a chance to step away from our everyday responsibilities, get to know one another better, and appreciate the work that goes into everything we do. Building these relationships and understanding each other’s roles helps us work better together and, in turn, better support the participants we serve.

We’re grateful for this team and the opportunity to spend a day appreciating each other, the center, and the mission that means so much to us all. 💙💚💛

🍕 Last week, DSPs Shamiya and Mackenzie led a make-your-own flatbread pizza activity! Participants picked out their favorite toppings and put together their own pizzas before enjoying their creations.

Activities like this give participants the opportunity to practice decision-making, independence, and fine motor skills while making something they can enjoy together!

Last week, DSPs Jamier and Gavin led participants through a few hands-on science experiments! We made disappearing ink, created our own bouncy balls, and made glow-in-the-dark test tubes.

Activities like these are a fun way to work on following directions, problem-solving, fine motor skills, and curiosity while learning something new along the way!

🐢 🌳 Last week, participants spent the day exploring Maplewood Nature Center! We learned all about box turtles, and even got to see one face to face to get a closer look at some of the features that make them so unique. We also met Sassy the black pine snake, felt pieces of shed snake skin, explored different textures, checked out animal skulls, and tried some of the nature-based matching activities throughout the center.

Hands-on outings like this give participants a chance to learn through touch, observation, and conversation while working on cognition, sensory engagement, and social skills. We finished our visit with a walk around the center and some time outside enjoying the fresh air!

This week’s music therapy with Hochstein had everyone singing, playing instruments, and getting up and moving to “Thriller.” And of course, our DSPs joined right in with the dance moves! 💚

We love seeing how music therapy gets everyone involved while giving participants opportunities to work on movement, coordination, memory, self-expression, and social connection.
