The Amputee Series consists of 11 Virtual Conversations� programs developed by IDI under a grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).  These voice-activated programs allow recent amputees and their family caregivers to gain practical knowledge and emotional support through virtual dialogues with experienced amputees and caregivers. 

This Virtual Conversations� series features 11 individuals (8 amputees and 3 caregivers) each on a CD-ROM.  The eight stories in the series include:

Amputees and caregivers who participated in the NIH-sponsored field test experienced significant learning gain and positive shifts in attitudes about amputees.   And, all of the participants strongly recommended that the programs be made available to recent amputees and caregivers early in their rehabilitation process.  

Please see our Press Release for a description of the rigorous scientific study and findings.
