Contains news and information for the National Paraplegia Foundation. News from chapters of NPF across the United States is presented and advertisements from various companies promoting items for people with disabilities. Stories include research on rehabilitation of people with spinal cord injuries, establishing residential facilities for people with disabilities, and amendments to the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. The introduction of no-fault auto insurance is of interest to the NPF, as it would make money available for hospital and rehabilitation expenses in the case of an automobile accident; to go along with this there is a photo guide that shows proper rescue methods for removing victims from cars after accidents.
