In addition, he helped launch a peer mentoring program and an extensive adaptive exercise program for those with paralysis. He also established a new music therapy program, created an accessible children’s playground and children’s camp program, and procured highly advanced therapy equipment, such as electric stimulator bikes and exoskeleton devices.
