The National Spinal Cord Injury Association has chapters, support groups and developing chapters throughout the United States. Some members have physical disabilities while others do not.
Members participate in a variety of activities.
They work with local and national officials and agencies to develop programs and services and act as community advocates for improved access, housing, transportation, employment, and leisure time activities for disabled people. Chapters and support groups provide peer support and other services. These are fundamental aspects of living that 500,000 people with spinal cord injuries or diseases must cope with after they have been rehabilitated and have returned to community life.
