Accessible Travel Tips - 0 views

  •  
    Last year when Dennis (injured hang-gliding) visited our lab and when we watched the video of Charlie Croteau, I thought one of the most interesting topics they mentioned was how to travel on airlines with a wheelchair. Both men emphasized the importance of the items you need to take with you onto the plane and the space restrictions you could anticipate. I was also interested in how the wheelchair could be disassembled into a very compact space. This website is aimed toward those who may be traveling with a wheelchair and offers practical advice such as labeling your w/c parts and requesting assistance at airports.

Tendon Tip Sheet - 3 views

  •  
    I found this on the AOTA's website and it is a tendon tip sheet. It tells exactly what a tendon injury is and also what OT implements with this form or injury. It is a short, but informative page on this topic. I thought it would be beneficial to print out as a source to keep to look back on.
