In person & Online support for wheelchair skills

By Lamise ElBetar | Project leader

Active wheelchair users

Dear all Alhassan Foundation’s friends, believers & supporters,

It’s our pleasure to announce we are now approaching different partners to help us offer more effective solutions for wheelchair users to practice & learn basic wheelchair skills that can help them be physically independent.

Our target in the 1^st phase of our In person solution of this program is to:

Offering monthly one to one training sessions that provide "Learning Activities of Daily Living as well as Occupational Therapy“ for 200 persons with disabilities as 1st batch (Ongoing project).
Holding this therapy program will enable wheelchair user (applicant) to gain upper-body strength and improve his/her posture, learn basic wheelchair skills, and develop unexpected independence. They will be able to dress themselves, deal with an equipped car, and move & live independently.
Our vision is to let wheelchair users live the concept of (YES I CAN!)

Our target in the 1^st phase of our Online/Offline solution of this program is to:

Online solution (YouTube): Wheelchair users can check our Youtube channel online to view & practice video tutorials for learning basic wheelchair skills.
Offline solution (Mobile App): Wheelchair users will be able to watch the 25 episodes of Rise up (Our OT tutorials) OFFLINE.
Provide users with the availability of search option to find what they want through tags or key words and communicate with other users & trainers for their convenience.
These episodes includes exercises to gain upper-body strength and improve the wheeler’s posture, learn basic wheelchair skills, deal with an equipped car, and move & live independently.
To be Available on Android & iOS (bilingual).
