Brave in the Attempt Dr Max Kurz
We’re joined by Dr. Max Kurz from Boys Town, who dives into the research he’s conducted on people with disabilities, focusing specifically on cerebral palsy. His studies aim to help individuals with cerebral palsy find effective ways to improve their body movements. Max discusses the practical nature of his work at Boys Town, highlighting how the simplest things in life can significantly impact daily life for those with disabilities.
Even though individuals with cerebral palsy face challenges with movement, Wyatt and Max discuss how participating in activities like the Special Olympics can greatly benefit them both physically and mentally in their daily lives. Engaging in these events not only encourages physical health but also fosters a sense of community and accomplishment.
In a another conversation Max and Wyatt, they explore the everyday challenges faced by people living with cerebral palsy and the importance of raising awareness about these issues. On October 5, Boys Town will host Global Cp Awareness day an event dedicated to increasing awareness around cerebral palsy. Max and his team are committed to amplifying voices of individuals with cerebral palsy to ensure their experiences and needs are recognized.
