Wheelchair skills Series - SBHI

Description

The Wheelchair Skills online learning series was developed by Dr. Jenn McKee during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020 to ensure that individuals with spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus had the opportunity to develop their skills in their own environment in the absence on in-person Wheelchair Skills Training.  

The Wheelchair Skills online learning series consists of 6 modules. The first module starts with the basics of safety, falling, getting to know your chair, caster control and skill basics.
