The PRC provides a free 442-page Paralysis Resource Guide available in multiple formats and languages, downloadable fact sheets on hundreds of topics including power wheelchairs, exoskeletons, vehicle modifications, home modification, pressure injury prevention, attendant care, and travelling with paralysis. Trained information specialists are reachable at 1-800-539-7309 Monday through Friday to answer individual questions and connect callers with local resources.
Anyone living with paralysis from spinal cord injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, ALS, cerebral palsy, or other causes — along with their caregivers, family members, and healthcare providers — who need comprehensive, evidence-based, and freely accessible guidance on living well with paralysis.
