OF AN INDIVIDUAL LIVING WITH SPINAL CORD INJURY
Folgueiras’ chief advice for the parent of a newly-injured child is to start modifying the family home while the person is in rehab – not waiting till the day they come home.
She was fortunate that the Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Program helped
with putting in a ramp, accessible bathroom fixtures, widening doorways and
installing a track on the ceiling to hold a harness that allowed David to move
about and into the shower.
David went
to Miami-Dade Public Schools with an assistant who attended all of his classes
and remains a close friend to this day.
