Let's Talk to an Adult with GMFCS Level 4 Athetoid Cerebral Palsy: Meet Jessica Kent Morrow, Part 1

I am so excited for you to meet Jessica Kent Morrow. She is 40 years old and an old client of mine. We worked together when she was a teen. She has athetoid cerebral palsy. She is a Level 3/4 on the Gross Motor Function Classification System. She has moderate to severe physical involvement due to quadriplegia. She can walk with a walker, but uses a power wheelchair for day-to-day mobility. She is mostly independent in her activities of daily living. She is married and lives in a home with her husband. She has two part-time jobs that she excels in. If you have any difficulty understanding her, the videos have accurate closed captioning. This interview is broken up into 10-15 minute segments.

Both of you are absolutely delightful. KZbin recommended Jessica’s channel (not sure why as unrelated topic for me) but I have enjoyed watching you both and learnt so much. You’re encouragement Amy to Jess is heartwarming with your comments on her channel. You’re both beautiful souls. Wishing you both so much love and best wishes XX
