LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — A 16-year-old boy who was paralyzed last month after diving into a retention pond near a Lawrence high school has been released from a rehabilitation facility.

The Lawrence Journal World reports that Kaleb Hatman is paralyzed from the chest down.

Hatman was a sophomore at Free State High School at the time of his May 9 accident, when he dove into the pond during lunch.

He was released from a rehabilitation center on Friday. He will live with an aunt and uncle in Gladstone, Missouri, after previously being in the Kansas foster care system.

Hatman has learned to use a manual wheelchair and was recently able to stop wearing neck brace.

The teen says he now feels positive about the progress he has made since the accident.
