FacingDisability.com: Resources for Families of People Living With Spinal Cord Injury
About this episode
The episode features Thea Flaum discussing her creation of FacingDisability.com to support families of those living with spinal cord injuries.
When Thea Flaum suddenly found herself caring for a family member with a spinal cord injury (SCI), she quickly discovered a lack of resources and support for the loved ones faced by this unexpected challenge. To address this gap, she created FacingDisability.com , a comprehensive platform offering valuable information on everything from medical care to a video series featuring the firsthand experiences and insights from people living with SCI. On this episode of INside the OUTcomes, learn about Thea’s journey and how she created one of the most extensive, free resources for families of people with SCI. Also, hear about her new podcast, “ I Was A Wheelchair Kid ,” aimed at children and teens with SCI. Transcripts for all episodes are available here . INside the OUTcomes is supported by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (grants 90DPKT0007, 90RTGE0004, 90SIMS0015 and 90DPHF0012).
