Shepherd Center’s Advanced Wheelchair Skills Clinic aims to provide persons who are using manual wheelchairs with continued education to learn, review and practice wheelchair skills under the guidance of Shepherd Center therapists. Practicing these skills may translate into increased confidence, safety and independence when performing manual wheelchair skills during daily activities and in the community. Skills covered in this clinic may include propulsion technique, wheelies, curbs, falling safely, uprighting the wheelchair, and negotiating elements such as grass, stones, sand and stairs.

The event this year is being held on the PT Day of Service as part of Physical Therapy Month. It is staff by Shepherd Center volunteers, many of whom are physical therapists. Read more.
