This presentation will illustrate the development of a unique training platform equipped with both a typical adjustable slope transit bus ramp and a wheelchair securement station.The idea of the platform was the result of collaboration among a therapist,supplier,local van modifier and researcher.The platform is able to support both teaching the skills of entering and exiting a city transit bus and increasing consumer knowledge to allow them direct others to properly secure their manual or power wheelchair--whether or not it has four WC19 securement points.The session will use a consumer empowerment approach and will also serve to educate therapists and suppliers when making decisions about recommending wheelchairs suitable for transportation purposes as well as addressing consumer transportation problems or questions.
