Because now I know it isn't funny to have a disability, it is probably hard, so I can be friendly. -Elementary school student

These are but few of the comments I hear as I share a hands-on experience introducing orthotic and prosthetic devices to school children.  It is exciting to watch as their expressions of discomfort change as they get "up close and personal" with the tools used by persons with disabilties.

It all started with a broken ankle in 2000.  While using a wheelchair, I had a chance to see how inaccessible our accessible society really is.  This was also an opportunity to experience how uneducated and ill-informed the public is regarding people with special needs.

In the spring of 2001, I visited a presentation, just to see what ATOU was all about.  As they say, "The rest is history."

The kids with whom we have shared the program and the volunteers with whom I work, have added so much to my life.

It is a privilege to be part of this worthwhile program.
