Yes You Can: Building Independence with Spina Bifida

Ciarlo: It's great to walk with crutches.

And I can't go sideways with my walker but I can go sideways with my crutches.

Make sure they're against the wall or else you'll fall and hit your head.

Mom: I didn't think of that.

Ciarlo: It's awesome. Bye!

[laughter]

Dad: You're on fire, dude.

Ciarlo: You're on fifteen, by the way.

[laughter]

All good.
