Just saw a program on public TV. It was local as it was at Eastern Michigan University. They had a company working with amputees to get them kayaking. The company name was Expanding Horizons. I think their web site was expandinghorizonskayaking.com

: My occupational therapist (OT) wife thinks he will be able to
: paddle. A small loom makes sense to her. If he has trouble he
: could consult at a rehab center or
: hand clinic. A larger kayak store may have a line on programs to
: help handcapped people participate through an adaptive sports
: foundation. He may need to get a laminated paddle to maintain
: strength with the small loom. If he is near mid-michigan, I
: could let him try one of my paddles.
