Episode 63. Limb Loss and Limb Difference

Hillary Sussman has been a physical therapist for 24 years, she is a mother of three, and a dog mom to Roxy; the inspiration for her new inclusive children's book series- The Adventures of Roxy 1:00  Hillary Sussman, PT and the Adventures of Roxy 2:30 April is Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month 3:20 Theme of the Amputee Coalition: "Your Ordinary is Extraordinary" 6:15 The Adventures of Roxy 9:40 Inclusive Children's Book.  Call to Action: My hope is that Roxy and her life lessons can be shared with ALL children, specifically those who are living with any physical, learning, or emotional challenge, to help them gain confidence; while also educating ALL children to be more inclusive and accepting of differences. My goal is to get Roxy and her educational activities into all elementary schools, to start this dialogue early and hopefully mitigate bullying.   My call to action is to educate your children EARLY about differences, using inclusive books, to share them in your schools, libraries, and communities, to create a more accepting environment for all kids, especially those living with limb and other differences.
