Transitioning from a Wheelchair to a Walker

After an accident, it’s great news to be told by your doctor that you can start putting weight on a leg, joint, or foot after being confined to a wheelchair for several months.

How Respite Care Saved Me

We've talked about the importance of respite care but hearing someone recount their own experience can drive the point home even more.

When I was nine years old, my mother moved herself, me, and my severely autistic brother in with her parents 'temporarily.' It ended up being a permanent arrangement.
