SATURDAY – 10:00 am – 11:00 amArt Dilly LectureLou FigueroaGrowing up in Southern California before moving to Colorado with his family in 1991, Lou Figueroa was an avid snowboarder and mountain biker who enjoyed the great outdoors.

At the age of 27, while out with a group of friends in the downtown district of Denver, Lou encountered a beverage that was laced with an unknown substance, experiencing a rapid onset of intoxication. In a daze, lost and disoriented he walked nearly two miles before he was found lying in the Union Station rail yard. In the early hours of the morning a train was approaching the rail yard and saw Lou’s body at the last minute. The result would be the loss of both legs. After surviving a week long coma gripping to life, Lou awoke in the hospital on life support and feeding tubes.

Since his amputations, Lou has traveled across the globe sharing messages of hope and inspiration to hundreds of audiences. He will discuss how occupational therapy plays a crucial role in the recovery process of amputees and how occupational therapy taught him the life skills needed to function in meaningful, everyday environments.
