Beck thought life would never be never be the same again – until Better Rehab Occupational Therapist Caitlyn started working with her a year ago.
In addition to home modifications like a wheelchair access ramp, Caitlyn identified how assistive technology could help Beck. Caitlyn arranged for Beck to get a Batec power assist unit and gave her the support and training she needed to use it.
The unit attaches to Beck’s manual wheelchair and is steered like a bike to enable maximum mobility. Beck couldn’t be happier with the result and the positive impact it has had on her sense of independence and confidence:
‘The Batec and front access ramp have changed everything for me! I can now go to so many more places,’ she said happily.
