Dan Thompson

Dan Thompson is a Registered Rehabilitation Professional, Registered Vocational Professional, and Certified Life Care Planner. In 1980 he was involved a serious car accident from which he acquired quadriplegia. His life was changed forever: he was permanently disabled. His high school classmate with muscular dystrophy inspired him to understand his injury. But understanding didn’t mean becoming a victim. After discharge from hospital he founded the London & District Sports Association. He played wheelchair rugby and eventually he coached the Ontario Wheelchair Rugby Team to win the Canadian Championship. Through a series of responsible jobs in government and business, he learned to be a manager and a business executive. Twelve years ago he started what is now a prosperous and successful international practice as a Vocational Rehabilitation Consultant helping people with burns, amputations, brain injuries, orthopedic injuries, spinal cord injuries and congenital disabilities.
