In an #OT-led workshop on the use & care of #Rehadapt mounts, our staff got to learn and tinker with Rehadapt parts. It was valuable to experience how these mounts that hold #assistiveTechnology for many of our students should be properly secured to wheelchairs.

#OccupationalTherapy #PhysicalAccess
A man demonstrates holds a mount surrounded by three women in an office setting. One woman holds a booklet, while the others watch attentively. Three people are assembling a chair's armrest, focusing on attaching a mechanism. They are seated on an office-style carpeted floor. A person in a red striped shirt and face mask demonstrates a device to four attentive individuals around a table with tools and equipment. A man in a brown sweater uses a wrench to adjust a camera mounted on a tall chair leg, while another person rests their hand on the chair.
