Youngsters benefit from Mothers’ March

Ronnie Curtiss is a Grade-1 student at Henderson Elementary School in Vancouver, His mother, Sue, says he is, ‘‘doing just great!”’

by Richard McDaniels Kinsmen Rehabilitation Foundation Directer

Ronnie has two younger brothers in a close-knit family which does many things to- gether, such as swim- ming and horseback riding. A Boy Scout “‘beaver’’, Ronnie has enjoyed an overnight camping trip with his father, Ron Curtiss.

But Ronnie has cer- ebral palsy. He is unable to walk and he has little control over the move- ments of his arms and

impaired, but he has a normal vocabulary for a six-year-old.

In 1984, the Kinsmen Mothers’ March provid- ed Ronnie with a ‘‘Fireball’’ electric wheelchair.

Said Sue, ‘‘That is the greatest thing. It gave him more independence — more than I could be- lieve possible. Before, he used to sit on steps out- side while all the kids would be playing, and he’d just be sitting there. Now he just races after them.’’

She points out, ‘‘It’s because of the wheel-

chair he is able to go to’

a regular elementary school. Now he goes out for recess and goes to the library.”’

‘He does everything

goes to Sunday school and this is his second year as a beaver.

‘Actually, on Re- membrance Day, he was chosen to place the wreath on the Cenotaph, so, he’s been pretty busy.”’

Ronnie is now learning to operate a computer using the morse code system. An ‘‘adaptive firmware card”’ was also installed in his computer by the Kinsmen Rehabili- tation Foundation’s technical aids section allowing Ronnie to use a single switch. to operate his computer.

Because of his lack of motor control, he is unable to use the com- puter keyboard. But, as his mother said, Ronnie will soon be using a com-

the other kids use a pen- cil for.’’

Ronnie Curtiss is just one of the many children who benefit from the funds raised during the Kinsmen Mothers’ March. They are just ‘faverage kids’? who need an opportunity to gain the highest level of independence possible.
