Wheelchair Skills Program

The Wheelchair Skills Program (www.wheelchairskillsprogram.ca) is a set of free online low-tech, high-impact, evidence-based resources for the assessment and training of the wheelchair skills of users (with or without the assistance of their caregivers) of manual wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and motorized mobility scooters.

WARNING: Many wheelchair skills can be dangerous to perform. We strongly advise against attempting them, at least initially, without the presence of at least one knowledgeable and skilled spotter such as a therapist. A spotter is a person whose role is to ensure safety.
