“I have loved every minute of working on this toolkit! I think it can reach a diverse amount of people and provide so much information that is missing in the world! And to have it all in one concise spot is even better! It also helps you to not feel so alone and gives you hope that other people are dealing with the same things you are!”

“I enjoy doing my part in sharing previous struggles & obstacles in hopes it’ll help my brothers & sisters out down the road. Living with a disability is easier than it was but we can always make improvements. Engaging in study groups / toolkits & seeing your contributions come to life is rewarding. Thank you Lauren for allowing me to be part of this team.”

“For a pharmacist in spinal cord rehab, a crucial area of focus is education around medication management after leaving hospital. People with spinal cord injuries may have to manage complex regimens involving newly prescribed medications for chronic complications of spinal cord injury, often in addition to medications for their pre-existing conditions. Providing relevant information and user-friendly tools to empower them is especially important. It was a privilege to contribute to the development of this toolkit, and I am hopeful that all people with spinal cord injuries may have the chance to benefit from it. ”

“Collaborating on this toolkit with my peers has been such a rewarding experience. Even on those sad days when I feel disabled with nothing to add to the world, I can look back at the process of this build from the very concept and remember that this is a tangible resource based on our lives. My hope is that the toolkit becomes a mainstay in practitioners’ offices, rehab hospitals, and pharmacies, so that every disabled person, newly disabled or seasoned, has information at hand to guide them through the day to day management of their meds. Hopefully this tool alleviates having to forge your own path.”

Assisting in the making of this and seeing the final product has been a pleasure and even I have learned things. This is a gift that keeps on giving as you may find you refer to it several times throughout the years.”
