The 'Skills on Wheels' program empowers young wheelchair users by teaching them crucial navigation skills in a supportive environment, boosting their confidence to tackle life’s obstacles.
Savannah Healton, a 12-year-old participant, shares how learning to do wheelies helps her navigate curbs effectively, emphasizing the practical skills these children gain in the program.
Tony Chase highlights that the fear of falling significantly impacts children's activities, indicating the program's role in fostering confidence and encouraging participation in social events.
The program aims to bridge the gap created by a lack of training in wheelchair navigation, while not claiming to change physical accessibility but instead enhancing individual confidence.
