The Way He Rolls


Do you have fond memories of getting kicked out of rehab too soon? Did you have physical therapists who were robotic, and whose instructions seemed like they were from a too-old textbook? This very thing happened to Jacob Sharff, a 30-year-old paraplegic from West Palm Beach, Fla., and that is why he decided to start his website — How I Roll — to make sure no other newbie has to go through that experience again

His site has a rich-in-information blog written from his own perspective on how to do to everything as a paraplegic, including how to ride an escalator, how to get accessible seating at specific concert venues, how to transfer from the wheel¬chair to the ground, travel tips, buying your first wheelchair, even how to get a better night’s sleep by using a body blow.
