Cooper Roy suffered a life-altering car accident in September 2024, which resulted in over 100 broken bones and a traumatic brain injury, among many other injuries.

Today, he stopped by our second-year Therapeutic Skills class to share his experiences on his journey to healing. With over 46 surgeries and countless hours of therapy under his belt, he provided some great insight into a client's perspective.

Huge thanks to Cooper for visiting with us and sharing his testimony!
