Wheelchair Care & Repair — What You Need to Know: An Online Q&A with a Wheelchair Repair Technician

Your wheelchair is essential to your independence — and understanding how it works can help you prevent problems, reduce downtime, and get the most out of your equipment.

Join us for an online Peer Connection session featuring a wheelchair repair technician with years of hands-on experience, who will share practical knowledge about both power and manual wheelchairs and answer participant questions.

Topics will include:

• Everyday care and maintenance for power and manual wheelchairs

• Common issues and early warning signs to watch for

• Tips to help prevent breakdowns and delays

• What to know before requesting repairs or service

• Asking the right questions when something isn’t working

There will be plenty of time for live questions, making this a valuable session whether you’re new to using a wheelchair or have years of experience.
