About this Event

Content Overview

Do you ever get calls from client’s – “my new wheelchair isn’t right….”

Don’t let the lack of confidence prevent you from making simple adjustments to your client’s wheelchair ever again.

During Tool Time, we’ll show you how to adjust back heights and angles, change armrest position and leg rest lengths. We’ll have a go at changing wheel position on manual wheelchairs. We’ll also adjust and modify backrests and headrests to improve posture and comfort.

You’ll have the opportunity to feel how these modifications affect posture and function first-hand.

This is a hands-on, skill building workshop. Tools and practice wheelchairs provided. Come energized and ready to learn helpful and time saving tips and tricks!

Gain professional development credits.

Refreshments provided.
