Why we know this works
Why we know this works
We love this course because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we know the car transfer is the one families avoid, and skipped car rides quickly turn into missed doctor visits and a shrinking world. How do you get someone from a wheelchair into a car? You plan it before you ever reach the door: this 30 minute video covers the easiest, safest ways to plan for and perform transfers into and out of a car, including training with both wheelchairs and walkers.
It is especially important for caregivers driving a loved one to appointments after a stroke, a hip or knee replacement, or with the leg weakness that makes the step into a car seat feel scary. If sliding across the seat is the sticking point, our Car Transfer Slide Sheet can help, and if your loved one cannot bear weight through their legs, take the Transferring Folks Who Can't Bear Weight course before attempting car transfers.
