• 61% of those who reported being paralyzed due to SCI were males
• males were almost twice as likely (1.77) to incur SCI as females
• 67,000 (7%) of those who reported becoming paralyzed as a result of accident or injury also reported that the paralyzing accident or injury occurred while serving in the military

Access Paradigms
Universal Design (UD): usable by the widest range of people to thegreatest extent possible, without need for multiple separate adaptationsor designs; addresses both accessibility and inclusion via a broad-spectrum solution
Barrier-Free or Accessible Design: enforceable and prescriptiveminimum design requirements that comply with the Americans withDisabilities Act (ADA) of 1990; has often resulted in separate andstigmatizing solutions
