Expert Profile: Leslie Hartman

Expertise: In 1995, a car wreck left me with a c7 spinal cord injury. I am female (which I note as it is fairly unusual with SCI), age 33. I have a working knowledge of physiology and a degree in Rehab and Psychology, and I can answer questions concerning adaptive equipment, the mental and emotional states/changes, physical changes, travelling (via car or airplane) and obstacles you might encounter at home or in the world. I can also tell you, based on past experience, several things NOT to do...

Education/Credentials
