Independent transfers build strength, confidence, and dignity.

I just wanted to let [ADA] know that Carlos's steps have beeen even more successful than I had imagined. He's getting out of his wheelchair on a regular basis. The other day I looked into the room and saw him sitting on the rug with the other first-graders. It was great!"
