About the Event
Many power wheelchair drivers face a variety of issues related to their independence, safety,
efficiency, and accessibility as a result of impaired motor control, visual deficits, impaired
reaction time, inattention, and various other deficits that are common among wheeled mobility
users. In this course, we will discuss the continuum of currently available SMART technologies
that can be incorporated into the power wheelchair to address these issues and improve driver
safety, confidence, and independence.
