I found Caralyn a really neat book called "one handed in a two handed world" It's written by a woman who was paralyzed on one side. It has some really neat how-to stuff in it. Alot she has already adapted to but some she hasn't even addressed yet. We'll let you know what she thinks of it after she is done reading it.

Danielle, the OT at Shriner's told us about this book. We are going to get it for Javier, so we can help him and for him to read himself when he is older.
