Living with spina bifida

Meadows offers a glimpse into the life of someone with spina bifida

“From a very practical standpoint, there’s different barriers and I don’t know that I can classify any as the largest barrier. But … from a very practical standpoint, reaching things. Because I sit. So, you’ve got to figure out different ways to do things and to reach things and to get things and to maneuver and to move around and to just get along within the house, within your own home, within your own property.”

Sarah Williams is joined by Philip Meadows, who discusses the challenges of living with spina bifida.
