Presenter: Cassy Churchill, Performance Coach, Dealer Development BraunAbility

This session presented by BraunAbility offers a structured, educational program for learners to become more familiar with the BraunAbility portfolio, services, and dealer network.  This program will feature a live presentation and a hands-on/live-in person component to showcase product. Resources will be provided to participants to enhance learning. Participants must be present for the session including the hands-on product demonstration activity to earn contact hours. The first section of the course will review the history of BraunAbility, their value proposition and review the portfolio of products. This will include wheelchair-accessible vehicles (WAV’s), lifts and seating products. The second section of the course will include product demonstrations conducted by BraunAbility and their Mobility Equipment Dealer. The final section of the program will be presentation of case studies and application products that the participant has learned about with case scenarios to demonstrate application of products to fulfill client needs.  We would prefer to have these case studies include real life examples from the field, provided by the chapter members/chapter leadership.
