Wheeled mobility solutions are often seen as a last resort or a failure of conventional therapeutic or medical interventions. This course intends to share insight into how early wheeled mobility facilitates development and should be used in combination with traditional interventions.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe three potential benefits of using early wheeled mobility as a therapeutic intervention.
• Relate the body of evidence presented to at least one intervention that can be applied in their clinical setting.
• List two potential barriers to initiating early childhood wheeled mobility.
• Summarize one strategy for utilizing power mobility in children under three years of age.
