Hi there guys, I was just wondering if anyone knew of any jobs that are suitable for Quads, for obvious reasons there are many they cant do but there must be a lot they can. A very close friend of mine has just lost his income that he relied on and I was hoping I could come up with some suggestions of things he may like to try. Even if it was only part time, it would also benefit him in filling in his time and give him a sense of accomplishment too. Any ideas would be appreciated even if they may seem silly to you. Thank you in advance.
Life is to short so make the most it while you can!!! And by the way smile, it makes everyone wonder what you have been up to lol

I'm a c6 complete (Oct. 4, 2004) and also totally blind (since birth) and I run my own business. I know quads who are on vents who work for organizations like the Rick Hansen Foundation who do jsut as much as anyone else like phoning people etc. With a little assistive technology you can do anything you set your mind to if you really want to do it.


I hope your friend finds a job they like. :)

i'm a quad since age of 5... working as a graphic designer and internet marketing/corporate communications consultant.

what to do is very individual and mostly depends on one's interests/talents. quad, para, AB, ... doesn't matter really.
