I am a disabled person. My needs are not special. My needs are human. Deeming them special turns me and my needs into a burden. Disabled people are not a burden.

Is it just me, or does this first week of 2024 feel like it's on nitrous? (Pardon the throwback to my motorcycle press days.) 🏍️

New podcast: Diane Racicot (National Seating & Mobility) and Wayne Grau (NCART) discuss Complex Rehab's "broken" repair system… and what's needed to resolve the crisis. mobilitymgmt.com/podcasts/crt-r…

A wheelchair is not a barrier. Stairs are a barrier. Curbs are a barrier. Inaccessibility is a barrier. Stop blaming wheelchairs and wheelchair users. Blame those who create and perpetuate the barriers.

Great reading. And brings up the question of what manual wheelchair skills should be taught, e.g., how to use arm technique + trunk flexion when navigating cross slopes...?

Wheelchair Rider Barbie's head was bolted to the plastic packaging. In trying to free her, I missed one of the bolts & instead CUT OFF HER HAIR on the right side. 😭

Everyone else: "Weather day = Relax" ATP: "An ice storm closed our clinic, so instead of relaxing at home, I can do that pediatric seating interview you asked me for." 🥹

Testing our new gas struts to simulate 10 tilts per day for 10 years, with a 300-lb (136-kg) test dummy. As you can see in this video, we are using a number counter to make sure we reach 36,500 tilts. #durability #test #gasstruts #mechanics #engineer #engineering #mechanical

After interviewing Lauren 👸🏽PT 🇺🇦🇮🇱, who gave my Barbie a telehealth seating eval, I donated a new Barbie to Lauren's clinic. Lauren just sent me (with their permission) a photo of the mom & little girl who received the Barbie. The child & Barbie both have purple chairs. 🥲
