FORWARD
FORWARD is our bi-monthly publication available only to members of SIA. Each issue takes on a theme close or related to SCI, and features articles written by SIA members, SIA staff and other healthcare professionals. FORWARD maintains a steady balance of hard hitting articles, practical suggestions, advice and members’ correspondence and stories. Past issues have covered themes such as transport, world travel, volunteering, spinal research and wheelchair sports.
