PVA ALSO SPONSORS AND FUNDS INDIVIDUAL ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENTS TO MEMBERS' RESIDENCES OR PLACES OF EMPLOYMENT.
PUBLIC AFFAIRS: ADVOCACY IN THE COMMUNITY IS A MAJOR, ONGOING CONCERN. WORKING WITH OTHER VETERAN AND DISABILITY GROUPS HAS INCREASED PUBLIC AWARENESS OF THE POTENTIAL OF PARALYZED AND DISABLED PERSONS IN THE WORK PLACE AND IN THE COMMUNITY. THIS ALSO INCLUDES A MENTORING PROCESS TO ASSIST THE NEWLY INJURED SPINAL CORD PATIENT WHICH ENCOURAGES EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT AND TEACHES SKILLS FOR COPING WITH A NEW DISABILITY.
