LESSONS LEARNED FROM A PARENT AND CAREGIVER

 OF AN INDIVIDUAL LIVING WITH SPINAL CORD INJURY

“Missoula is very progressive. 

They do a ton of things for people with disabilities. 

Even with the harsh winters, they keep the sidewalks and crosswalks clear. 

You have to clear your sidewalk by early morning and if you don’t, the city cleans it and gives you a ticket.

That makes mobility possible,” she said.

“We are nature people. 

We hike trails all over Missoula and greater Montana,” she said. 

“Some are too bumpy, some are smooth and accessible to all. Glacier National Park has tons of accessible trails and features and it’s only 2.5 hours’ drive from us.”
