The disabled athlete, Jim Abbott, is more about ability than disability. He is a one handed baseball pitcher that was raised by parents who taught him to adapt so that he could accomplish what he wanted to. He featured today on CBS Sunday Morning (click on link to view interview) talking about his life and Jim Abbott’s new book, IMPERFECT-An Improbable Life. His life and his book is inspiring.
As group home support staff, we can support the residents in our home to focus on adapting to their differences instead of focusing on their disability and what they cannot do.
This is a great video about Jim Abbott made by a disabled 6th grader…
