https://lnkd.in/gx2VyjTB I am happy to see Wisconsin be another name added to this growing list of people advocating at the state level. It's because we need space for people coming through hard times, and nets to catch them. It's a progress. Maybe a life pursuit. #cptsd #traumainformed #policychange #advocacy

Health insurance companies need to transition to a proactive vs reactive mindset. 💚 Those of us in the #cerebralpalsy community require the services of #physicaltherapists to avoid major surgeries that may result from the way our muscles, bones and joints function due to the neuro-developmental injury. The cost of maintenance PT is far less than a spinal surgery, hip replacement, fracture repair, etc. #Proactivehealthcare is a win for the whole of society: 1) Those in the CP community will be able to work longer and be less dependent on benefits. 2) Less dependence on benefits will increase the country's bottom line. 3) Insurance companies will remain profitable due to not having to reimburse for surgeries that easily exceed 100K. To help with your calculations, here are a few facts: (a) Cerebral Palsy is the most common lifespan physical neurological disorder. (b) A child is born every hour with CP and lifespan is equivalent to the non-CP population. #HealthIsLifesFoundation #Adultsoutnumberchildren
