“My Parent Has a Spinal Cord Injury: Growing Up in the Wheel World” on Oct. 27

For parents with a spinal cord injury, many complex questions can arise from life with children. If they were born after their parent’s injury, when do they notice that their parent is different? If they were old enough to remember the injury, how did they cope with the life changes? In what ways have their lives been different from their peers? Join the Northwest Regional SCI System for this live virtual presentation on Wed., Oct. 27th at 7 p.m. PST to hear from a panel of people raised by a parent with a spinal cord injury who will discuss the ways in which having a parent with SCI has been beneficial, difficult, bittersweet and has shaped their lives. Register to view this event HERE.

Evan Roberts and Gavin Long will give a perspective of those born after their parent’s injury, while Emily Gall lived through the experience of her father’s initial SCI. Whether you have kids now, are considering having children, or just have questions about parenting with SCI, you don’t want to miss this forum.
