The Spinal Cord Injury - For Your Information (SCI-FYI) Resource Directory is a product of the Rehabilitation Research Center (RRC) for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). The RRC compiles local and national spinal cord injury resource information for dissemination to any individual that requests it. The SCI-FYI's focus is on resources available in the San Francisco Bay Area, but many of the resources are regional and/or national. A product of the compilation is this online book. We hope that this book is a useful tool.

There are print versions ($16.00) of the SCI-FYI available. Email lois.roberts@hhs.co.santa-clara.ca.us for more information.

All information presented in the SCI-FYI was verified by phone or mail. This does not mean that this information is still valid or current.

We do not personally endorse any of the services nor make any guarantees regarding the information or services included in this directory.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge all of the individuals whose contributions helped make this valuable resource a reality. Debbie Burdsall, MPH, OTR, is the editor of the SCI-FYI. Debbie is the SCI resource contact person at the RRC. You can email her at debra.budsall@hhs.co.santa-clara.ca.us. Christin Corelis spent endless hours working on the first edition of the SCI-FYI - contacting agencies, obtaining information, and word processing. She started with a filing cabinet full of information, created a layout for the resource guide, collected and organized information, and saw the project through into its final stages. The revision of this resource guide would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of Sherri Rogers who spent endless hours on the phone contacting the agencies and verifying information. Jerry Wright, Administrator for the Rehabilitation Research Center for TBI and SCI, was responsible for the layout, design, and indexing of the revised SCI-FYI. John Hatten was a co-worker at the Traumatic Brain Injury Project and editor of the third and fourth editions of the Traumatic Brain Injury Resource Directory (TBIRD). John's outstanding work on the TBIRD provided us with a working model for the SCI-FYI, and made the seemingly insurmountable task of compiling such a guide possible in the first place. Diana Harrison from Therapeutic Recreation at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center provided thorough and valuable information on recreation, leisure and transportation resources in the original version of the SCI-FYI. This resource guide was peer reviewed by Tamara Bushnik, PhD, Mary Lou Gustafson, RN, BSN and Kazuko Shem, MD. The time and effort they put forth to give valuable input is much appreciated. And lastly, those of you who provided us with updated and accurate information should be acknowledged for your contributions to this SCI Resource Guide and, more importantly, for enriching the lives of individuals with spinal cord injury.
