Evening all,
Haven’t posted in a long time and it’s great to see all the responses on this issue. I agree with Gene, this is controversial and is an ongoing problem in NYC and the greater region.
On another topic Grace brought up concerning canes. The pediatric belt cane is a fantastic device for early mobility that I’m currently using with a student with very positive results. Thanks to our friends at SafeToddles.
