Supporting Americans with Spinal Cord Disabilities


Overview

In 1946, a group of World War II veterans, who had sustained spinal cord injuries on the battlefields of Europe and the Pacific, established the Eastern Paralyzed Veterans Association. With limited resources beyond government-issued wheelchairs, they faced significant challenges, such as inadequate housing, lack of transportation, and inaccessible local stores.

Early Advocacy and Achievements

By 1948, these veterans had successfully lobbied Congress for laws ensuring one-time grants to paraplegic veterans for wheelchair-accessible homes and specially equipped vehicles. Their efforts also led to the creation of design standards for wheelchair access in new public buildings.

Forty years later, these veteran leaders played a pivotal role in supporting the passage of the Fair Housing Amendments Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Expansion and Ongoing Commitment

Now known as the United Spinal Association, the organization has broadened its mission to support all Americans with spinal cord disabilities. Our dedication to veterans remains unwavering. Last year, we helped secure essential legislation for traumatic injury insurance for soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Direct Support and Advocacy

We send trained service officers to VA hospitals to identify veterans' needs and assist them in obtaining their benefits. We also advocate for their interests with the Department of Veterans Affairs in Washington, D.C. Our support extends to sponsoring recreational and athletic events to aid veterans in their transition to civilian life. Additionally, we fund two renowned spinal cord research facilities at veterans hospitals.

Dedicated Growth

Rooted in veteran support, we have evolved into the fastest-growing organization in the nation dedicated to assisting individuals with spinal cord disabilities.
