Getting ready for the new wheelchair ramp by practicing with threshold obstacles | PT demonstration

Once a month, Alex's school physical therapist does a home visit to teach us (parents and PCAs) different physical therapies. This month, she showed us how she's helping Alex "power over" threshold obstacles so he can get up ramps safely and efficiently -- a good thing, since we are installing our own ramp for him!



And here Alex is watching the workers assembling the modular aluminum wheelchair ramp in front of our house -- he jumped every time they used a power tool, which is why he's smiling!


I'm working on a post and video about the construction and assembly of this wheelchair ramp.
