Wheel Chair Experience With Simulation Of A Disability
REFLECTION:
Assistive/Adaptive equipment are introduced in this class. This class will put your creativity to the test. One of the projects required is to come up with your own assistive device that is not out in the market, designed for a certain disability. The "cart" which contains a variety of treatment equipment was also presented to familiarize oneself with equipment that are utilized in the clinic. Splinting is also incorporated in this class which was a good learning experience.
