Local children with disabilities get help from Wichita State students
The media are invited to watch as the children use their cars for the first time from 4:30-5:30 p.m. today (Thursday, Dec. 1) in the Heskett Center gym, second floor.
Breckyn is incredibly social and ready to be on the move. She has Down's Syndrome and has had a medically challenging life so far, including cardiac surgeries and nutrition through a feeding tube.
Brody has a form of dwarfism that limits his reach. His feet are not ready for weight bearing yet, and he wears a neck brace to protect his cervical vertebrae.
Jairo has Caudal Regression Syndrome. He is missing parts of his lower spine and pelvis and is unable to move his lower body and legs. He is incredibly strong and is efficient using his arms to get around.
If you're not able to make it in person, the event will be live at
