He has taught physical and occupational therapies around New England for the past 38 years. Charlie has also spent his time volunteering at the major spinal cord injury centers in and around Boston for the past 35 years.  He has written a book on wheelchair mobility and produced teaching videos on living with a spinal cord injury.  Charlie has served for 20 years as an Impartial Hearing Officer for the state of Massachusetts.  It has been his life's mission to make life better for those with disabilities.

Join us for Mr. Croteau's discussion on how human lives can be transformed by design. Learn how a person with a traumatic injury can become a functional person adding to the fabric of society.  These changes can be made on many levels whether physical, mental, or spiritual.
