This program takes a detailed look at a condition that can re-disable survivors of polio later in life: post-polio syndrome. Two case studies shed light on its symptoms, effects, and treatment. Three additional segments focus on Mike Nemesvary, the first quadriplegic to drive around the world unassisted; the Adult Connections in Education initiative at the University of Prince Edward Island, which offers people with developmental disabilities the opportunity to experience college life; and a man who formed a personal support team from his circle of friends to help him retain a high level of independence in the face of his advancing MS.
