Free Wheelchair Skills Training

Nearly 300,000 Canadians use a wheelchair to improve their mobility. However, wheelchair users often receive very little training in how to use it effectively and efficiently. TEAM Wheels is a 4-week program designed to improve wheelchair mobility skills for activities that are most important to the participant. The program includes a self-managed training app along with 3 teleconference sessions with a peer trainer (an experienced wheelchair user). All training happens at home, using a computer tablet provided during the 4-week training period. The program is being offered as part of a research study, so it is entirely free for participants.
