From the article:
Assistive technology equipment has also helped Kerri Morgan, an instructor in the occupational therapy program at Washington University School of Medicine. She uses a manual wheelchair for everyday use and work. For a while she was using crutches, but that wasn't doing the trick.
"It took to much energy," said Morgan, 33, of the Loft District. Besides her manual wheelchair, Morgan has one she uses for rugby. She is paralyzed from the chest down as a result of being diagnosed with transverse myelitis at age 1. "Technology really helps make things possible for people with disabilities," Morgan said. "I use assistive technology so I tell people we may not do it like everyone else, but I do it with the appropriate assistive technology."
