Wheelchair Service Training Package - Intermediate level
Overview
It is estimated that more than 70 million people worldwide require wheelchairs, yet only 5-15% of people have access. To address this, WHO has developed a series of Wheelchair Service Training Packages. The Wheelchair Service Training Package – Intermediate Level (WSTPi) is the second in the series and its purpose is to support the training of personnel to provide an appropriate manual wheelchair and cushion for children and adults who need additional postural support to sit upright. Personnel are expected to have taken WSTPb training and gained some clinical experience in the provision of basic wheelchairs prior to completing the WSTPi training.
How to use the materials
The package contains a trainer’s manual, participant reference manual, and workbook, as well as supporting forms and checklists, posters, and presentations. There is also a series of training videos that can be downloaded or accessed on YouTube. The materials may be adapted for local contexts, but following the lessons in sequential order is recommended respecting the timing allotted for each session.
