Dad to Dad Podcast - A podcast by David Hirsch - Fridays

Categories:

Our guest this week is Dr. Cole Galloway of Clevelend, OH who for more than two decades, was a professor of physical therapy at University of Delaware and is founder of Go Baby Go, a human rights movement dedicated to promoting mobility and social mobility.While doing research, he developed a small car that young children, with special needs, could control themselves thereby opening a whole new world of possibilities. That discovery lead to the creation of Go Baby Go, which has forever transformed the lives and trajectories of tens of thousands of children across the U.S. and beyond. Go Baby Go has an open architecture that allows virtually anyone or any organization to make use of the resources, now in more than 200 locations. It's a fascinating and uplifting story and Dr. Gallaway is our guest this week on this episode of the Special Fathers Network Dad to Dad Podcast.Show Links - Email – [email protected] LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/cole-galloway-1ba715107/Go Baby Go - https://sites.udel.edu/gobabygo/ 55 Page Manuel - https://cpb-us-w2.wpmucdn.com/sites.udel.edu/dist/f/3415/files/2017/07/GoBabyGo_Manual-1m8z16m.pdfTEDx Talk – Changing The Landscape of Mobility - https://www.ted.com/talks/cole_galloway_changing_the_landscape_of_mobilityTEDMED Talk – A Movement For Mobility - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joYgbUWiZAISpecial Fathers Network - SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 500+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.
