Alternative Driving Methods for Power Wheelchair Mobility
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS
Video
Course: #6841Level: Advanced2 Hours
While some clients require a power wheelchair for independent mobility, not all can use a standard joystick. Clients with paralysis, muscle weakness, increased muscle tone, and uncontrolled movements can often drive a power wheelchair successfully when matched to the most appropriate alternative driving method. This course will systematically explore power wheelchair proportional and non-proportional alternative driving methods, including specific features, to match these complex client needs. Case studies will be used throughout.

Power Assist Devices For Manual Wheelchairs
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS
Video
Course: #6840Level: Advanced1 Hour
This course will present power assist devices to increase manual wheelchair efficiency and decrease pain and injury risk. Power assist devices increase the force of each handrim stroke for increased travel distance as well as power to overcome slopes and uneven terrain. Various types of power assist devices, with clinical indicators for each, will be presented.

Implementation of AAC In The Adult Population
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS, Kim Winter, MA, CCC-SLP
Video
Course: #6500Level: Advanced3 Hours
Master skills to implement in your practice immediately with Continued Master Class. Implementing augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) with adults can be challenging and requires a team approach. Evaluation and implementation must include positioning to optimize function, access to required assistive technology devices, and mounting. This course will highlight many variables and modifications that can optimize AAC access.

Supporting Respiratory Equipment on Wheelchair Bases
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS
Video
Course: #9591Level: Introductory1 Hour
Many people who require respiratory equipment, such as oxygen and ventilators, use a wheeled mobility base. This course will address how to support respiratory equipment on an adaptive stroller, manual wheelchair, or power wheelchair safely and as a part of a team.

Wheelchair Positioning to Optimize Respiration
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS
VideoText
Course: #9590Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Wheelchair positioning is designed to provide postural support and alignment, pressure distribution, and stability for functional activities. Positioning can also be used to optimize respiration by facilitating an upright trunk and head and supporting the diaphragm. This course presents common positioning scenarios where respiration may be compromised and interventions to address these concerns.

Pediatric Power Wheelchair Assessment And Training
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS
Video
Course: #6317Level: Advanced3 Hours
Pediatric power wheelchair assessment, including determining and developing cognitive and motor readiness, team evaluation, and mobility training as a part of the school day, will be comprehensively addressed in this course. Assessment, skill development, and skill training are critical to achieve functional and independent use of power mobility.

Secondary Supports: It’s All In The Angles!
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS
Video
Course: #6111Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Wheelchair seating systems often include secondary supports including pelvic belts, anterior trunk supports, and ankle straps. This course will explore secondary supports and appropriate clinical applications, as well as what to do when secondary supports are required, and team members have restraint concerns. Case studies will be included.

Mounting Assistive Technology to Wheelchairs
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS
Video
Course: #9569Level: Intermediate1 Hour
People who use wheelchairs may also use assistive technology such as speech-generating devices, computers, tablets, and smartphones. This session will present mounting options for each of these technologies to secure the device to the wheelchair for optimal visual regard, access, safety, and security.

Assistive Technologies For People With Sensory Impairments
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS
Video
Course: #5940Level: Introductory1 Hour
This course presents sensory technologies in the context of preparing for the ATP examination. Sensory Impairments include hearing loss and deafness, low vision and blindness, and deaf-blindness. This course will review each sensory impairment and various assistive technologies to augment or replace an individual’s sensory loss.

Switch Assessment: Determining Optimal Switch Type And Placement
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS
VideoText
Course: #5928Level: Advanced2 Hours
An access method is used by the client to control assistive technology devices, such as power wheelchairs and speech generating devices. Single or multiple switches can be used for access, though careful switch assessment is required to determine optimal switch placement and switch type to meet an individual’s needs.
