Description
Wheelchair users encounter added stresses during air travel due to the inability to remain in their own wheelchair while onboard an aircraft. As a result, the risk of experiencing pressure ulcers, infection, and injury during air travel is amplified for wheelchair users. Facilitators will lead a community conversation to discuss strategies and develop solutions for stakeholders to support wheelchair users in reducing health disparities during air travel.Back to Session: Poster Symposium 1C - Employment, Housing and Transportation and Community Living and Supports
