- This resource is a visual support to help with wheelchair safety. I’ve used these visual supports for patients with cognitive deficits such as memory and safety awareness. This has also been a helpful tool for someone who is new to a wheelchair. The locked and unlocked positioning of the brakes might vary depending on the style. I’ve included visuals for different variations to accommodate those situations. Different sizes were created to fit the patient’s needs. Copies of the visual support include different colors and boarders to pick from. Giving the patient a choice on color and boarder might seem like a small detail, however it makes them feel like they are customizing it to what they like and I’ve found they are more open and willing to place this visual on their wheelchair.
