Abstract: Over 1000 cases from the Job Accommodation Network caseload that involved workers with spinal cord injury were examined in terms of the nature of the industry, job, career progression, job function and accommodation solutions suggested. The cases for those who reported the disability as paraplegia and quadriplegia were compared. Suggested accommodations and issues raised by the callers are also discussed.
