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

“…To me, 99 per cent of the time I’m just shorter. I built an apartment downstairs myself without any assistive devices, unless you call electric tools like nail guns assistive devices. Which I guess they are. Everybody’s got assistive devices.”
- Bradley’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.
