Why I’m Here: For My Brother, for My PatientsWhen I work with my patients at Gillette, I try not to impose my story and my “why” on them and their families. But inevitably, it comes up. My younger brother, Peter has cerebral palsy. He’s why I do what I do and why I’m here. I’m immensely proud of him and grateful to have had the privilege of being his sister.

down the trails on her mountain bike and has aspirations to conquer the

nearly all of the fingers on her right hand.Image not found or type unknown

multiple disorders that cause leakage of air into the nasal passages during
speech production. Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare speech-language

Turning Can’t Into Can Since 2011: Peter’s Cerebral Palsy
JourneyIn all the ways that matter, Peter is your typical 8-year-old. He’s a protective

He’s easy to smile, quick to laugh and brings joy to all who meet him. When
you’re in Peter’s presence, the fact that he has cerebral palsy and can’t
speak, quickly becomes an afterthought.Image not found or type unknown

Virtual Appointments Break Down Barriers for FamiliesWhen virtual appointments were first proposed, we were appreciative but
admittedly skeptical about how that would work. But having recently made the
