What is your favorite way to hop a curb? What tricks do you use to get
yourself off the ground? Never sat in a manual wheelchair and have always
wanted to try a wheelie? Stop by the Empower SCI table at the expo and we
will help you brush up on old skills and learn new skills from others. The booth
will be staffed with both manual wheelchair-users and able-bodied staff to offer
education and opportunities to learn new wheelchair skills. Skills will
include curb-hopping, fall recovery, wheelie management, wheelchair maintenance,
and challenging transfers. Open to both wheelchair-users and able-bodied
individuals, there will be several wheelchairs present for able-bodied
individuals to try out these skills. Visit us for a personal "Learn New
Skills" time where you can spend 15 dedicated minutes getting one-on-one
assistance with a skill you'd like to master. Based on availability.
