Getting wheels - Wheelchair Prescription for Children with Neuromuscular Conditions with Dr. Sarah-Grace Paguinto

In this episode, host Bec Sampson speaks with occupational therapist and researcher Dr. Sarah-Grace Paguinto. With over a decade of experience at Sydney Children’s Hospital’s Neuromuscular Clinic, Sarah-Grace shares insights from her PhD on creating a psychoeducation resource to support parents through the emotional and practical aspects of wheelchair prescription. Tune in to learn about her parent resource booklet, the importance of early mobility support, and how clinicians can better guide families through this transition.

Show Notes:
Sarah Grace’s booklet that she developed during her PhD is yet to be published widely but if you would like a copy you can email Sarah Grace at Sarahgrace.Paguinto@health.nsw.gov.au

The resources Sarah Grace mentions in this podcast around further professional development for clinicians are not available direct to the public either but Sarah Grace has kindly offered to share them with anyone interested. You can contact Sarah Grace at Sarahgrace.Paguinto@health.nsw.gov.au
