9 The historical evolution of the spinal cord injury community across the 20th century.
The SCI portion of the disabled community as a whole has had a significant impact on the culture of disability and the behavior of people with a disability at home in the United States. The disabled community was more passive and, due to the extremely high death rates of spinal cord injured people prior to the wide availability of antibiotics resulted in people with an SCI to be a small portion of this community.

Hello brother. I'm glad you are enjoying my story. I expect many similarities with a huge number of differences in the details. Hang in there.
Very interesting commentary, loved the personal touch, and good listening enjoyment. Looking forward to hearing more.

Hi Sharon. Nice to hear from you. I'm glad you like and are enjoying these videos.
you add so much perspective by focusing on the history and demographics of disability. Sad to think that our war casualties have at least advanced medical knowledge so that more maimed veterans are able to live and disabled people benefit from medical therapies developed.

Let us hope and let us let our politicians know to provide the homecoming veterans received enough support in the medical arena, in social support and assistance in becoming resettled so that they do not become the homeless population of tomorrow.
Very interesting history. What are a few ways you think parents of children with disabilities similar to yours can better prepare their children for adulthood?

One thing that I have seen is that parents of children with a disability don't require of their children age-appropriate behavior. Because a child has a disability does not mean a child should not be held to behavioral standards of courtesy which are required of other children of similar age. Obviously, if some specific kind of disability impact a child's ability to control a verbal outburst or something like that, that behavior cannot be controlled and should not be made to be a instance of bad behavior by that child. But, generally speaking, unless some disability directly impinges upon some specific behavior, a child with a disability should be required to behave in age-appropriate ways. A person who is allowed to behave inappropriately will face social sanctions needlessly for that inappropriate behavior later in life. Thank you for the question.
