Ten-year-old with cerebral palsy has trouble climbing library steps — so she invents a solution

A ten-year-old with cerebral palsy said she had trouble climbing the steps at the library — so she invented a solution.

Sadie McCallum, 10, and her sister Claire, 6, of Weare, N.H., invented the Amazing Curb Climber, an all-terrain walker, to help her climb steps.

The kid inventors showed host Jimmy Fallon how the Amazing Curb Climber works during a recent episode of the Tonight Show.

“So I have cerebral palsy, which means I have to use a walker,” Sadie told Fallon. “So one day I was at the library and they have these big steps. And I couldn’t get up because my walker couldn’t climb up curbs or stairs. So I decided to make one that could. And so I did.”

Fallon told the McCallum sisters that he loved their invention.

“This is genius. You’re a genius,” he said. “I love this. Can it go over my foot?”

“Of course it can,” Sadie replied before she demonstrated doing just that.

In a blog post for Boston Children’s Hospital, Sadie wrote that she loves to read and wants to “be an author or librarian” when she grows up.
