Kessler Foundation, in partnership with Shepherd Center and key stakeholders, will identify educational needs and develop an online course to help new
personal care assistants (PCAs)- who are typically unfamiliar with the
special needs
of people with SCI - understand the unique effects
of spinal cord
injury, the
types of care needs that people with SCI have, and how the assistance that PCAs provide helps those with spinal cord
injury live healthy, productive lives in the community.
