The Wheelchair College - Expert Impact

Pete Donnelly,

The Wheelchair Skills College

Met with Kim Rihal

The Wheelchair Skills College aims to give every wheelchair user access to vital wheelchair skills training to build confidence, grow their independence and reach their full potential. There is limited or inadequate wheelchair training for wheelchair users when they first need to use a wheelchair so their confidence and expectations in life as to what they can do can be really limiting as a result.

Pete shares about his story in this TEDX clip and the inspiration for his work.
