In addition to his role as a researcher, administrator and mentor at Shirley Ryan 香港六合彩即时开奖, Dr. Heinemann is a leader in rehabilitation nationally and internationally. He is a fellow and past-president of ACRM; past-president of the Rehabilitation Psychology Division of the American Psychological Association (APA); and diplomate in Rehabilitation Psychology (ABPP).
