Sam Schmidt of Conquer Paralysis Now | accessiBe’s Spotlight Sessions [Video]

Welcome to our Spotlight Sessions, a series dedicated to conversations with change-makers and people that have made an impact on the community of people with disabilities.

In this episode, we had the opportunity to speak with Sam Schmidt, Founder and Chairman of Conquer Paralysis Now, a nonprofit founded in 2000 with a commitment to find a cure for paralysis and help give independence to individuals living with neurological conditions. As a leading authority in spinal cord injury (SCI) research and treatment, the organization is determined to find a cure for paralysis.

Sam shared thoughts on the following topics:
1. What led to his spinal cord injury and the rehabilitation process.
2. How the nonprofit evolved with the needs of its community.
3. Receiving the nation’s first driver’s license for a semi-autonomous vehicle.
4. The stories of community members that have led a lasting impact on him.
