If Shanna is studying to get her degree to help those of us with spinal cord injuries [whether psychology, PT, OT or Medical,] I will support her efforts. If helping those of us with SCI earn her a decent living wage, say more power to her--she's earned it.
I understand that there are people out there who take advantage and greedily prey on people with disabilities, but in my opinion requests such as this are not in that category. I'll be happy to look at the survey and fill it out if I can be of help. Good luck with your degree, Shanna.

Each year around this time of the season the Quad-List receives several requests for us to share tangible information so that people like yourself can graduate and make tons of money, while many here are barely living at the poverty level.. just to survive. May I ask.. Is your present study supported by the National Spinal Cord Assoc as an approved study? Is your present study supported by any of the national disAbility programs or support groups? I personally haven't taken the time yet to visit your survey, but it would be nice to see that some kind of benefit would be available to those who are supplying you with the information for your survey to graduate and make tons of money. I hope you never, never forget those who supported your study. Best Wishes In a message dated 2/14/2011 9:44:04 A.M.
