“Disability only becomes a tragedy when society fails to provide the things we need to lead our lives- job opportunities or barrier-free buildings, for example. It is not a tragedy to me that I'm living in a wheelchair."

The Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Advisory Council (The “Advisory Council”) is charged by the New Hampshire Legislature with investigating the unmet needs of New Hampshire residents with brain or spinal cord injuries. See NHRSA 137-K.
The Advisory Council has been holding public hearings for twenty-eight years, since its establishment by statute in 1997. The information provided at the hearing will be submitted in a report to the Governor, DHHS Commissioner, legislature and key stakeholders in order to provide recommendations to better meet those needs.
The council has decided that in place of the 2025 spring public hearing that a survey would be sent out to individuals and family members of brain and spinal cord injuries.
The survey link is www.surveymonkey.com/r/2025BSCIAC
We ask survivors, family members, caregivers, friends, professionals and service agencies to complete the online survey to provide personal and professional input on the unmet needs for individuals living with a brain or spinal cord injury.
It would be appreciated if you could:
• Forward this information to individuals and/or family members with brain or spinal cord injuries that The New Hampshire Council on Developmental Disabilities supports.
• Place the attached survey information on your website and include in your social media materials/newsletter.
