Learn How to Help Evacuate Those Needing Special Attention

Using a training doll, get hands-on experience at transferring someone from a bed to a wheelchair and in a wheelchair. Using equipment such as goggles and weights, you’ll also find out how it feels to be a person that requires special attention.
