📣 Today is Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Day, and we wanted to shine a light on the SCI Community – its size, scope, and the unmet needs that people with SCI face every day. SCI Day started in 2016 by the International Spinal Cord Society (ISCoS) as a “powerful reminder of the challenges faced by individuals living with SCI” and the organization’s “commitment to prevention.” This year’s slogan for SCI Day is “End Violence – Protect Spinal Cord” to “raise awareness and inspire collective action” about the SCI cases resulting from violence. September is also Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month, which focuses on education. For the next few weeks, we will bring you information on the latest research, trends, and stories in the SCI Community. ✨ 💡 Education is a core part of our work, and we appreciate the opportunity to share our knowledge while learning from changemakers in the SCI Community. 🔗 For more resources and education, click on the links below: ISCoS: https://lnkd.in/gu5ZwpuU World Health Organization: https://lnkd.in/ehNqJB-F National Spinal Cord Statistical Center: https://lnkd.in/g6kgntSr United Spinal Association: https://lnkd.in/gN3TDxVv Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation: https://lnkd.in/daYDfpdm The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis: https://lnkd.in/ge6a_bh All ONWARD® Medical devices and therapies, including but not limited to ARC-IM®, ARC-EX®, ARC-BCI™, and ARC Therapy™, alone or in combination with a brain-computer interface (BCI), are investigational and not available for commercial use. #EmpoweringMovement #SCI #SCIday #SCIAwarenessMonth

🎓 Success Story: Meet Easton King 🎓 This past year, I had the privilege of working with Easton King through my partnership with the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. Easton, who has a physical disability and requires a personal care attendant, took charge of his college search and is now preparing to start at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse this fall! 🍂 Easton and I worked together to plan academic accommodations, housing, and transportation. They also ensured he was connected with state and federal benefits to help cover the costs of college and personal care. Easton’s story is a powerful reminder to start early and be proactive. Hear more about how they navigated this journey together in the video. If you or someone you know could benefit from similar support, contact us today to see how we can work together! 💬 Schedule your free consultation today! https://loom.ly/ggUBlEw #Disability #Wheelchair #PersonalCare #College #HigherEd #collegeCounselor #CollegeConsulting #EducationalConsulting #Access #Accessibility
