Quick Profile: Steve Mallory
Using the Internet to support other stroke survivors.
In June 1994 and at age 36, Steve Mallory had a brainstem stroke. It
resulted in quadriplegia and a severe speech impairment. Steve has since
dedicated his life to helping other stroke survivors, with the tremendous
support of his wife, daughters, faith, and online stroke support group.
Steve is President and CEO of the Stroke Network: a non-profit organization
that provides on-line support to survivors of stroke and their caregivers.
Their services include:
* mailing lists
* chat sessions
* message boards
* monthly newsletter
* bookshop
* articles
* links
* handbook about stroke
* website (Stroke Awareness)
In addition to running his website, Steve writes articles and does
web design. He types using a head pointer (Headmaster by Prentke
Romich, Inc.) and an on-screen keyboard (WiViK2).
Before his stroke, Steve was an Aerospace Engineer. To learn more about
Steve, you can visit his staff page on the Stroke Network where he writes:
"I want to dedicate the rest of my life to
helping other stroke survivors get their on-line life started because
it makes me so happy to show them that there **IS** life after having
a stroke. I feel very driven about assisting my stroke brothers and
sisters with finding support and resources on-line. It is hard to
explain but I know that this is God's plan for me and little did I
know it, especially right after my stroke, but it always has been.
I am a strong believer that using the computer heals the brain by
using and exercising it."
