Lets Talk to an Adult with Level 2 (Mild/Moderate) Cerebral Palsy: Meet Nathan Todd, Part 1

I am so excited for you to meet Nathan. He is a 36-year-old with Level 2 Cerebral Palsy (CP) on the Gross Motor Function Classification System. He has more involvement in his legs than in his upper body. He has mild to moderate involvement. For him this means, he can stand independently but may need a second to get balanced. He can walk independently and can navigate stairs with a railing. He uses a wheelchair when he has to navigate longer distances. He drives and is very active in social media. Nathan is excited to share his journey as an individual with CP to be able to help others similar to him and parents who have a young child diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Nathan is a wonderful and exciting communicator. I am delighted to have his perspective. A long time ago, I was his physical therapist. This interview is broken up into 10-15 minute segments. Watch this playlist for future segments. Nathan can be found on Facebook: On Instagram: @therealnathantodd. On TikTok: @thelonelinesscoach. On YouTube: The Loneliness Coach, BadA$$ Boundaries, and Story Time with Mr. Nathan. He can also be found on --his setting boundaries website.
