What a great story about a program at #BostonCollege, led by the amazing @gallaugher.bsky.social
It's all there: #assistivedevices, tech for good, #CircuitPython, electronics hardware, #makerspaces, and lots and lots of #blinkenlights

Two technicians, one in blue with short dark hair, and one in black with longer, pinned up blonde hair, creating a cast of a patient’s left leg as the patient lays on their back. The cast is being done part of a fitting for a brace called a KAFO (knee, ankle, foot orthosis).
Got my leg cast today for a custom KAFO (knee, ankle, foot orthosis) brace. It’ll support my leg, stop foot drag, and prevent knee buckling, hopefully improving my gait. Should be ready in about 3 weeks, and I’m super excited!

It is truly a great medicine. But the hurdles that are in place to get medical, as well as the pricing, are eclipsing to the whole. But I survive but I'm back on a walker at 32. #funtimes #disabilitylife #assistivedevices
