Wheelchair Clinic on Monday
CARE for Children will partner with Presque Isle Rehab Technology to hold the Verner W. Smith Wheelchair and Adaptive Equipment Clinic for children with disabilities on Monday, September 8th at their offices on 20 Russell Boulevard in Bradford.
This free clinic is a community service to provide expert evaluation to assess needs for custom seating, positioning, and mobility. The annual clinic was renamed in memory of Verner W. Smith of Bradford who passed away in June 2008. Smith was a long time supporter of CARE for Children as well as a recipient of services from the agency as a child.
Jim Noland, Certified Rehab Technology Specialist and Owner of Presque Isle Rehab Technologies will be conducting the clinic. Noland, a licensed Physical Therapy Assistant, specializes in many fields including wound care, brain injury and spinal cord injury.
The clinic includes assessment of the current equipment being used, as well as the functional status, social history and seating/mobility needs of the patient. Correct seating can maximize the functional independence, mobility, posture and breathing of each patient and serve to protect skin integrity.
Presque Isle Rehab Technology works with certified suppliers and insurance companies to meet the individual needs of each child. Presque Isle Rehab Technology specializes in custom wheelchairs and medical equipment for people who are profoundly involved.
CARE for Children is a local non-profit organization that has been providing services for children of all abilities since 1924. For more information please contact CARE for Children.
