Wheelchair Skills Courses
Our Wheelchair Skills Courses are hands-on, confidence-building sessions designed for wheelchair users, caregivers, clinicians, and support professionals who want practical, real-world skills that translate directly to everyday life.
Through guided practice and expert instruction, participants learn how to move efficiently, navigate obstacles safely, and support others with confidence, while gaining a deeper understanding of how wheelchair setup impacts performance, safety, and independence.
Course objectives include:
Developing efficient propulsion techniques and safely practicing foundational skills such as wheelies
Learning how to effectively guard and assist someone while they perform wheelchair skills
Understanding how wheelchair configuration and setup influence mobility, control, and overall performance
Whether you are building your own independence or supporting someone else on their journey, these courses provide practical tools, shared problem-solving, and the confidence to move through the world with greater ease.
