POWER WHEELCHAIR ACCESS OPTIONS: CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDEPENDENCE
There are many options when it comes to controlling a power wheelchair and controlling other technology. Specialty controls allow those individuals who lack full control over their bodies to be able to have a level of independence by controlling the power wheelchair through its sophisticated electronics. The electronics these days provide further independence through Bluetooth and Infrared technology available on many wheelchairs. There will be a lecture and a hands-on portion of the class to provide participants with a variety of learning experiences.

STANDING: WHY, WHAT AND HOW?
Supported standing is recommended and used clinically in the pediatric population
for a variety of neuromuscular diagnoses. The justification for a standing program is
based upon several factors. Clinical goals may vary or change with the age of the
individual. This presentation will review the documented benefits of a standing program. The rationale used to select one type of stander over another will be discussed. The clinical benefits and rationale for selection will be used to create the medical necessity of the standing device.
