In this episode of Wheel Chat, Anton Mitchell and Justin Boulos catch up to unpack a few standout cases from their week—including a powerful moment of first-time independent mobility for a young client with complex cerebral palsy needs.

From clever adaptations and growth planning to the value of simplicity and knowing when not to start from scratch, this conversation is packed with practical strategies, clinical insights, and those feel-good moments that remind us why we do what we do.

What’s in this episode:

• Power wheelchair trial success: driving down fear and up a steep Blue Mountains driveway
• Smart scripting for abduction, post-op spinal supports, and custom footrests
• Simple tips for supporting safe learning in first-time power mobility users
• Growth management in children’s wheelchairs: depth, width, and practical workarounds
• Knowing when to refurbish vs. replace—and why a small fix can make a big difference
• Why reps (yes, reps!) need to write better notes
• The importance of celebrating small wins in the assessment and delivery process

Whether you're a therapist, rep, parent, or AT enthusiast, this episode is full of the real-world reflections and relatable wins that make Wheel Chat what it is.
