What should you do when there is a process in place that creates barriers for your clients receiving the assistive devices that they require to their live to their full potential? Occupational therapists have a role in addressing barriers to occupational participation for their clients (ACOTRO et al., 2021) by utilizing the unique occupational therapy lens to solve the problem.

This webinar will share an innovative practice model entitled the Wheelchair Rapid Assessment and Prescription (WRAP) program was created by the presenter, an occupational therapist, out of a desire to improve access to clients for wheelchair seating in a long-term care home where there were extensive wait times. The webinar will describe the team-driven, collaborative process that was developed to first identify barriers to care delivery and then to explore required actions to improve the wheelchair assessment and prescription process. The change process, barriers, solutions, and outcomes will be reviewed.

After taking part in this webinar, participants will be able to: 

1. Gain an understanding of the process used to initiate system change to wheelchair/seating process in the long-term care setting.
2. Identify/consider an area in their own practice where a process/principles similar to this might apply to be able to initiate a positive change in their practice.
