Pauls, Anthony
Exceptional Parent, v37 n6 p44 Jun 2007
In this article, the author shares the story of his son, Joshua Pauls. Josh is an energetic young man who learned at a very young age not to let anything stop him from achieving his dreams. Born with a birth defect known as bilateral bibia hemimelia, which means he was born without his tibia bone in both of his legs, Josh was only 10 months old when he underwent an operation in which both of his legs were amputated. Now, at 14 years old, Josh is a member of "The United Spinal Youth Rangers" sled hockey team. His sights are set on the Paralympics.
