Kids all around the world are in need of prosthetics. The kids in your classroom can help, thanks to the Limb Kind Foundation (limbkind.org)
Robert Schulman, C.P. is a Certified Prosthetist who founded the Limb Kind Foundation in 2019 and serves as the organization’s Executive Director. Limb Kind was founded with the goal of improving the lives of children with limb loss both domestic and international, by strengthening the amputee community, and providing pediatric prosthetic care to all.

Robert, a native Long Islander, graduated from SUNY University of Buffalo in June 1994 with a B.A. degree in Sociology. It was after graduation that Robert discovered the field of Prosthetics, and what would turn out to be his life’s passion. He started out as a Prosthetic Technician at Allied Orthopedics in Brooklyn, NY, learning how to build and fabricate prosthetic limbs, and is now a Certified Prosthetist. Robert has helped thousands of men, women, and children with limb loss, regain their independence after providing them with prosthetic limbs.
