Limb Difference Awareness Month - Client Spotlight:
Meet Thomas (and Teddy):
One of our newest clients, Thomas, was born with a congenital (from birth) below-elbow amputation.
The amazing thing about children with congenital amputations is their ability to adapt. Thomas will develop physical skills and adaptations to succeed with and without a prosthesis. Thomas recently received his first prosthesis and already uses it for 'tummy-time', sitting balance, and holding items.
If this isn't amazing enough, Thomas and his family recently adopted a new puppy, Teddy. Teddy also has a congenital limb difference (right paw).
As they grow up together, there is nothing that will stop these two from having fun!
