Cedric was born premature and diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 1 year old, which resulted in severe spasticity.
Determined to help him become as independent as possible as he grew older, his mother turned to The HSC Pediatric Center for rehabilitation and the use of assistive technology — including a power wheelchair.
As thankful as Cedric and his family are for the hospital’s efforts, the staff is just as grateful for the outstanding ideas he presents to them as a member of the HSC Family Advisory Committee.
An accomplished speaker, who is a member of the debate team at Roosevelt High School, Cedric never has trouble making his point. His video documentary on wheelchair access issues in Washington, DC, schools won an award from National Public Radio. He’s even testified before local government officials on behalf of children and young adults with disabilities.
With the help of HSC, there’s no question this young man is going to make his mark on the world.
