Taking the Leap: Growing into Adulthood with SCI
Everyone faces challenges when moving from their teen years into adulthood. Making this transition with a spinal cord injury can be even more complicated. In this first ever SCI Forum at Seattle Children’s Hospital, we have invited a panel of individuals who were injured as children or teens to talk about their experiences. The focus will be on the time when they were becoming independent adults, including deciding what to do after high school, leaving the family home, pursuing higher education or job training, negotiating the world of work and developing personal relationships. Children, teens, parents and others touched by spinal cord injury are welcome.
