INDEPENDENT LIVING SKILLS: FINAL WORDS
I chose to focus my article on the things that make life worth living - family, work, nature, sports - rather than details of range of motion exercises, using hand controls to drive a car, and so on. We do cover those topics in the Disability Access workshops. ![]() However, I wanted to begin with what is really important, independent LIVING. After all, what good is it to have learned to drive a car with hand controls if you don't have anywhere you want to go and no one wanting there for you? Getting involved whether it is playing in sports, serving on committee’s, groups or participating in an activity that challenges your mind or body can provide you with rewards that can last for a life time. Each person must find that special thing or click (something innate/inside) that is appealing and fosters the energy to apply it. It helps to find someone who shares in that passion and together you can make the changes or journey to a positive outcome in your life. I often recite the quote , “I am more concerned about the cause, than the applause.” |
