My friends who use wheelchairs and specifically those of you with spinal cord injuries, I have some questions. Feel free to boost this far and wide. We really want to know the tips and tricks. I am an ambulatory wheelchair user. My spouse has a brand new SCI. We're good on many things because of my needs. But with him now not being able to stand, how do we make the kitchen easier for him to use? One thought I had was a counter or table that's lower than the built-in for the coffee maker and other stuff he uses a lot. Would that be helpful? Honestly, go beyond the kitchen. Tell me anything that's going to make our home even more accessible. A specific issue is our sink. It's a corner sink and I cannot use it from my chair. Any ideas at all? (Don't worry about ramps and room for wheelchairs. We did that for me, so it's there waiting for him.) #SCI #NEISVoid #SpinalCordInjury

    @genXcrone@fandom.garden I’m not in a wheelchair but I am disabled. My mom however is in a wheelchair and I picked up a few tips over the years that I can share if that would be okay. I’m not a part of the group you requested advice from so I wanted to ask first before just offering ideas.
