Today, two guest speakers Wayne and Michael,from SEAT spoke to the entire school about preventing spinal injuries by following simple guidelines. For example, wearing of bike helmets, remembering to wear seat belts when travelling in cars and looking for hidden objects if diving into creeks or other shallow water holes.
They also spoke of the difficulties they experience each day being confined to a wheelchair. Just getting ready to go out can take at least an hour and a half.
We thank them for the insight into their experiences.
