WHEN PEOPLE WITH SCI HELP DESIGN IT
“People with SCI are experts in our own right by virtue of our lived experience.
What we have to say matters and can directly influence the direction of research priorities, as well as how projects are designed and administered,” says Anita Kaiser, a doctoral candidate at the University of Toronto and a research trainee in the SCI Mobility Lab.
“I recognize the dual role and unique perspective I bring as a
person with lived experience and the value of that in producing high quality
research that reflects the priorities and needs of the SCI community.”
Kaiser says when people with SCI drive
research, they focus on reduction and treatment of secondary complications,
improvements to quality of life and accessibility as well as finding a cure for
paralysis.
