Pictured above is a 10 year old little boy we had the joy of working with. He was unable to move his arms and legs but that didn't stop this little trooper from playing like any other kid his age. He was able to adapt a game of catch by passing the ball back and forth to Emily Horst using only his head. He was also able to color and write our names by putting the colored pencils in his mouth; way harder than you'd think! -Rachel
Featured below is a 17 year old boy who presented with symptoms similar to Charcot Marie Tooth Disease, which is a hereditary disorder that damages the nerves in the arms and legs. He stated his main goal was to walk better and to decrease his pain while walking. We were able to provide him with two canes to help him walk better. He was nervous about trying them out at first, but was very surprised to realize how much better he was able to walk without pain. Below is a before and after video to show the improvements in his walking! -Jessica
