Hello everybody, i am a french 25 years old man. I graduated in 2006 with a "French licence" (which is the equivalent of a bachelor of science) in adapted sports education. I am creating this new topic because i will be in San Antonio, Texas, the 2nd of February for 3months, looking for a job or an internship. Therefore i am looking forward to hearing from you, who are the most concerned about this topic, to indicate me any association you could know, and to which i could send an application.

If you read this topic and live in San Antonio, i will be really happy to meet you in person.

You can mail me directly at: thomasliot@hotmail.fr

I am looking forward to hearing from you very soon! Any related topic is welcome!

Hi Thomas, Welcome.

You do not make it clear whether you are looking for info on rehab, sports and rec facilities or whether its a general SCI/Other area which you wish to work in. I am not from the San Antonio area, or even the USA, so the following is just info I have come across. I apologise if you have this already. I am sure that others will be keen to share their experiences if they have them of the area you are traveling to.

Action Online ~ adaptive sports & Recreation May hold some answers for you. Its the unitedspinal.org online sports and rec section.

Also, please see the adaptive sports foundation press release pdf. It has info regarding Veteran programs for those spinally injured. Walter Reed and Brooke Army medical centres.
