Power Wheelchair or Power Add-On? There are differences between these two assistive technologies, and it’s easy to become confused about the options. When is it suitable to prescribe a power add-on? In what situations is it not suitable? Does a power wheelchair fit into your client's lifestyle and environment? What drive wheel option is best for my client? Or perhaps you want to know more about power wheelchairs in general. Whatever your burning question is, this hands-on, practical education session will help clarify the differences and unique qualities of these assistive technologies. Learn from seasoned Occupational Therapists and Wheelchair specialists who will take you through everything you need to know about power wheelchairs and power Add-On’s so you can come away with a greater understanding of the options available, what they are and how they can assist clients to achieve their goals. This session will also have you in the wheelchair seat to see, test and feel the differences for yourself so you have the confidence and know-how to operate these assistive technologies and to educate and clinically justify these options to your clients. This practical education session will assist you with: - Identifying suitable AT solutions for clients - Learning the many features Power Wheelchairs and Power Add-On’s offer - Understanding the limitations and practicality of each AT solution - Confidence in assessment skills, clinical reasoning and decision-making.   Plus, you can enjoy a BBQ lunch on us! **All attendees will receive an attendance certificate for their professional development requirements.**   ![About the Speaker](https://info.activemobility.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/About%20the%20Speaker.png?width=277&height=56&name=About%20the%20Speaker.png) Active Mobility System's clinical team brings over 20 years of combined experience as Community Occupational Therapists and Assistive Technology Product Experts, addressing numerous complex cases and significantly impacting clients' lives.
