Manual Wheelchair Beginner’s Guide

Hello! In the past month or so, I have condensed (or expanded?) my spiel about what to look for in a first manual wheelchair from hours of talking into a 75 slide presentation. The reason for this is because I am advising multiple of my friend’s on the manual wheelchair process and I figured the information would be useful to have written down. I plan to post this publicly when I’m done so anyone who needs it can use it as a resource.

I am looking for people who are willing to give their opinions on what I have so far: what’s missing, what don’t you agree with, etc. I would especially appreciate the input of nonambulatory wheelchair users here because I am ambulatory and I’m sure there are things I’ve missed that apply to nonambulatory people.

If you want to help with this, send me a message and I’ll give you the google drive link! I am not quite ready to share it with all of Reddit.
