Wheel Chat: Episode 1 Inaugural Episode - Meet Anthony and Justin

Join us on Wheel Chat for our inaugural episode as we discuss why we're launching this podcast and dive into co-host Justin Boulos's background and motivations. Anthony Mitchell and Justin Boulos share the story of their friendship, evolving from online connections to real-life adventures. They clarify complex industry terminology, exploring what we mean by custom, configured, and prescriptive wheelchairs. The conversation highlights the differences between manufacturers like Permobil and distributors like Independent Living Specialists, while also addressing the changing role of Assistive Technology Professionals. Additionally, we examine how occupational therapists contribute to this specialised field, particularly in Australia, making this exploration vital for anyone seeking to understand mobility solutions. Our vision for Wheel Chat extends beyond mere information; it's about empowerment. We blend personal stories with professional insights to support the emotional well-being of wheelchair users. From discussing our favourite wheelchair models like the RGK Sub4 and Magic 360 to emphasising the significance of tailored solutions, we aim to offer valuable insights for both professionals and individuals invested in mobility technology. Join us on this exciting journey as we explore the world of wheelchair technology together. 📌 Have a favourite mid-wheel drive chair or a burning question about mobility equipment?
