TIMOTHY
Timothy contracted Meningitis as an infant, which resulted in hearing loss and Cerebral Palsy. He attended Campbell’s Children’s School at Grandview, and also participated in speech, occupational, and physical therapies at the Centre as he grew.
Although his parents were once told that he might not talk or be able to take care of himself, today he loves to be independent and do things on his own. He just started Grade 11 and is getting along well with his classmates and loving all his classes.
