#152 - School in an SCI Rehab Facility

We are all life-long learners, and the lessons of neuroplasticity simply prove that learning is growth and healing on a molecular level. So why not prioritize that in a rehab setting? Tune in and learn about our own experience gathering a team of local educators to build back some semblance of normalcy and purpose during the Spinal Cord Injury recovery process by creating our own personalized school at the Shepherd Center. You will learn about some of the hurdles many families face as they independently nurture the individual needs of their loved ones within a large institutional setting. And you will also find many surprising ways in which the sparks of inspiration and learning get passed between generations.

This episode features an interview with:

Heather Robinson, a 6th Grade Teacher at Cape May Regional Elementary School, in the town where Archer had his injury. Heather shared Archer’s story with her students and together they created a beautiful class project that brought hope and inspiration to us in a difficult time.

Blink of an Eye is created by Louise Phipps Senft and co-produced by Louise Phipps Senft and Zera Bloom. Theme music is by Victoria Vox.
