Course Description: This will introduce the concept of early introduction to power mobility devices and the positive benefits this can have on function and participation for the developing child. We will briefly review the evaluation and decision-making process that assists in the selection and appropriateness for power mobility in the pediatric client. Once equipment is selected for our growing client, the most important part of the process is to assure they are able to utilize the piece of equipment. The rest of the presentation will explore the concepts of stages of learning in power mobility, and appropriate drive training interventions that can be performed at each stage.
