Last September we did a story about back to school and what it means when you're in a wheelchair.

Are there any products that you are sure to get your kids for back to school? Maybe a calculator with larger buttons? A pencil grip? Water bottle with an easy to drink out of spout? Reply back and let us know! I'd love your feedback on any items![/size]Wed, 28 Jul 2010 10:49:23 GMTJLohttp://www.spinalcordinjury-paralysis.org/forums/Topic4395832-6628-1.aspxI wanted to share some helpful links on spinal cord injury and pregnancy for you.

In November 2009 in conjunction with Seattle Children's Hospital they produced The SCI Forum Growing into Adulthood with a Spinal Cord Injury. Read more below:The SCI Forum Growing into Adulthood with a Spinal Cord Injury, which took place on November 10, 2009 at Seattle Children's Hospital, is now available for viewing on our website as streaming video at http://sci.washington.edu/info/forums/reports/childrens.asp.Everyone faces challenges when moving from the teen years into adulthood. Making this transition with a spinal cord injury can be even more complicated. In this first ever SCI Forum at Seattle Children's Hospital, we invited a panel of individuals who were injured as children or teens to talk about their experiences growing up with SCI -- leaving the family home after high school, pursuing higher education or job training, negotiating the world of work, and developing personal relationships. Please give us your feedback after watching the video.
