The aim of the Association of Wheelchair Children is to visit all children in the UK who use a wheelchair to ensure they are properly trained. After, we are able to refer the child to the Health Service to acquire a chair that meets the child’s clinical needs as demonstrated by the course. The combination of the right chair and the right training means that children will have functional parity with their peers.
In the case of electric wheelchair training we offer a dedicated one-day course in the use of electric chairs for children who cannot use manual chairs. If children demonstrate sufficient skill during the course, we may feel that they should be starting to go outdoors in the chair. If however the child's chair cannot be used outdoors, we would be able to apply to the Health Service for an indoor/outdoor electric chair on their behalf. If we are still unable to obtain a suitable chair from the Health Service in certain circumstances we would offer to fundraise in order to purchase an electric wheelchair.
