Christi Porter

Hello, my name is Christi Porter. I have worked in various environments, including inpatient and outpatient facilities and currently spend the majority of my time in the Home and Community division of Rehab Without Walls as both a Speech-Language Pathologist and a Vocational Rehabilitation Specialist. Many individuals with spinal cord injuries I work with are re-entering the workforce in a different capacity or in a completely different field secondary to their injury. Along with the comprehensive team and clinicians at Rehab Without Walls, we work closely together with these individuals to identify newfound strengths and how these can be combined with their interests to successfully and happily re-enter the working world.
