Description
This course focuses on adaptation issues for wheelchair users. Delegates explore essential concepts such as turning spaces (circles) & clear opening widths for doorways and are shown ways of measuring up both properties & individual wheelchair users for these. Some key wheelchair standards are addressed (such as space requirements by bed & WC) and ways of assessing individual properties for their accessibility are explored. Casework, videos and practical exercises are included.
Please note, there is a 'sister' course to this one entitled "Design Issues for Wheelchair Users". In that course, the focus is more on generic wheelchair design standards and on new-build wheelchair housing. Both courses are stand-alone.
