#CPChatNow Recap- 4/10/24

This past week in #CPChatNow was hopping as always. Members discussed art projects, learning how to fall, and their favorite summer activities. This is #CPChatNow co-host, Devin Axtman, taking you along for the ride on this week’s recap.

First, members discussed their like (or dislike) of doing art projects. Timmy shared photography he had done and Chris shared an art project she recently completed.

zach asked if members liked doing art projects. Timmy shared his photography with pictures of baseball
chris shares a picture of a recent art project she did

Next, members discussed a common activity for people with Cerebral Palsy, learning how to fall in Physical Therapy.

zach tweets he learned  how to fall one summer in physical therapy to prevent serious injuries. i tweeted i did the same thing after falling on the playground and almost breaking my wrist. zach tweets he suffered a concussion after a fall in school
veronica tweeted she was taught to go limp when she fell and because it saves her body from more injuries.

Finally, Veronica and Zach talked about their favorite summer activities.

zach asked what members favorite summer activities are. Veronica tweeted swimming, but she doesn't have a pool so she doesn't get to swim often

This brings us to our Extend-The-Conversation Question: What do you remember learning to do in Physical Therapy? I remember I went out by the elementary’s schools playground and I had to try to walk straight on the line students wait behind for the buses. If I fell off to either side, I fell in the “alligator pit.”

Thanks for reading and join us on X at #CPChatNow at 8 Eastern each Wednesday.
