I believe it is important for the individual to have fun, laugh and be active. I was also raised in household with a disability so I have an understanding of what families have to go through. My uncle was a quadripelgic who had lived with me my whole life with that condition, up until in passed in 2018. I'm passionate about working with kids and young adults.
