An information resource describing the assistive technology experiences of indviduals with quadriplegia from their own perspective.

“Some people want to sit at home, have their reading board, have their mouth stick, and read. Some people want to skydive. Some people want to bowl. Some people want to shoot. But you can’t shove all this [equipment] on someone and say, ’Here you go, this is going to get you through life.’”
- Ken’s story

SCI PILOT contains the assistive technology experiences and insights of individuals who have had a spinal cord injury.

Rather than a catalogue of products, you'll find advice and strategies from those who have first hand experience in getting and using assistive devices, and descriptions of practical, homemade inventions that solve real-world problems.
