We just got a wheelchair for a family member — where do we start?

Book an initial session and bring the wheelchair. We'll assess fit, review the home environment, and build a stepwise plan starting with the most important skills for daily life.

Can caregivers join the sessions?

Yes — and we strongly recommend it. Caregiver training is built into the program so assistance is safe for both the user and the person helping.
