Spring 2020 Advanced wheelchair skills - Virtual

Shorter hospital and rehabilitation stays may not allow enough time to learn important wheelchair skills, or changes through aging require a brush up course to learn new skills to remain independent. Wheelchair skills are vital as they help prevent secondary conditions or isolation due to an inability to navigate our environment. It also teaches individuals to become more efficient in the usage of their wheelchair.

Come and join us in some practical advice from those who know and have been doing it for years. You're never too old to learn something new or you might help someone new just starting this new journey of their life.

The Spring 2020 Advanced Wheelchair Skills Classes will all take place on May 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th. (every Thursday of the month) at 4:30PM-6:30PM. Due to the current health concerns, ALL of the classes will be via Zoom call.

These classes are FREE. Registration is still required.
