  • Summary

  • As occupational therapy practitioners, we understand disability within the context of diversity, equity, and inclusion. In this two-part episode, occupational therapy student Meaghan Lawrence discusses the program, Empower Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) which supports individuals who have had an injury to their spinal cord. In the traditional rehabilitation model in the United States, rehabilitation stops a few months after injury. Often after discharge is when true rehabilitation needs to occur because the initial shock and comorbid conditions have diminished. Through Empower SCI, the participants have the opportunity to take part in a more meaningful rehabilitation.

    Special Thanks to Meaghan Lawrence for writing and interviewing and special thanks to Michael Manhardt for sharing the Empower SCI story.
