What the program funds
The Paralysis Resource Center (PRC) grant is awarded to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. The mission of the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation in carrying out the PRC activities aligns well with ACL’s mission and provides important new programmatic opportunities for persons with disabilities and older adults. The PRC provides comprehensive information for people living with spinal cord injury, paralysis and mobility-related disabilities and their families. Resources include information and referral by phone and email in multiple languages including English and Spanish; a peer and family support mentoring program; a military and veterans program; multicultural outreach services; free lending library; quality of life grants; and a national website. The mission of the National Limb Loss Resource Center, operated by the Amputee Coalition is to reach out to and empower people affected by limb loss to achieve their full potential through education, support, advocacy, and the promotion of limb loss prevention. The National Limb Loss Resource Center programs will use both traditional and innovative approaches to educate and inform people with limb loss, their family members, health care providers, policy makers, community members, and the general public about limb loss and limb difference. The Limb Loss Program will continue existing activities and programs that promote health, wellness and the adoption of healthy behaviors with the objective of preventing and/or reducing chronic conditions associated with limb loss.
