Abstract
It has been 5 years since Chris was evaluated for a powered wheelchair, and she has had two occupational therapists and three physical therapists since the evaluation and training process began. It has been a long and arduous process, full of triumphs and setbacks. Chris's level of functional mobility, self-confidence, and ability to socialize, however, have increased dramatically as a result of her perseverance. The powered wheelchair, which she can control herself, has increased her ability to explore her environment and to master the increased activities made available through an expanded environment.Keywords
