My mom did a very good job of really shifting the perspective where beforehand we were going to baseball practice, now we’re going to physical therapy. My mom made it so there wasn’t a moment where we sat and felt devastated. It was just ‘this is the situation, so we’re going to make some lemonade.’” As a result, I got into disability advocacy, and really made myself confront my disability as a whole, and how I view myself, how I interact with my disability and allow others to interact with it.” Among other activists activities, Tyler has worked as a Fellow at RespectAbility -- a diverse, disability-led nonprofit that works to create systemic change. Since his injury, Tyler earned high school, Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees and is a screenwriter based in Los Angeles.
