OT and PT Training | OT/PT Seminars | Rehabilitation Mobility Seminars

Wheelchair vans and other mobility products come in many different styles provided by dozens of leading equipment suppliers. Sorting through which products will work better for a particular patient's needs can be a daunting task.

MobilityWorks' on-site training sessions and support group participation provides for face to face discussions with patients and therapists about specific products and concerns.

MobilityWorks is able to provide mobility equipment and accessible van training for occupational and physical therapists (OT/PT) in conjunction with many local colleges and universities. We are also able to provide a mobility consultant for in-service events, such as spinal cord injury support groups and rehabilitation center group meetings.
