Ally is learning to drive her loaner power chair. She mostly goes in circles, but is starting to change directions (which I had a hard time capturing on film). She is 3 years and 4 months old and has Type 1 Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). We are in the process of ordering her own chair ; )
I thought that electric wheelchair were not provided for children below 4 years old, because of the difficulties in manoeuvering them below 4 years old. I suppose that if the occupational therapist has tried and recommended one for Ally, she has proven capable of manoeuvering it. Has Ally received it since this post made? How is she doing with it, do you find that Ally is a safe electric wheelchair driver?
My Grand daughter actually driving her power chair by herself. What a champion Princess.
