Hello, I'm an occupational therapist at a pediatric rehab facility. I've been mostly lurking on this list for years, picking up great tips and ideas for many of the SCI patients I treat - many thanks for all the wealth of knowledge you all share so freely.
I write/edit a newsletter that is sent out to all of our former SCI patients. We're a children's hospital, but after all these years most of our former patients have become adults, so we gear the newsletter to that demographic. We had a request to do a newsletter on the topic of caregivers - how to get them, how to keep them, how to treat them, etc. We have articles from places like Paralyzed Veterans of America about the basics of hiring aides, etc, but we like to go a little deeper in our newsletters. I figure that our readership has been dealing with this stuff for years and probably knows more about it than we do in many respects. I am wondering if anyone in this group would be willing to share thoughts/resources/tips, etc that go beyond the basics. Many thanks for any help you can offer! Sue Berres, OTR/L
