page 1 - Facilitator Orientation Training, 21 & 27 Feb 1999 The roles of Facilitators who accompanied the participants on the experiential wheelchair-bound journey on 14 Mar 1999 included facilitating experiential learning as well as overseeing the team's safety. As such, two sessions of wheelchair orientation training were held to familiarise the facilitators on all practical aspects of wheelchair handling, movement and how to assist a wheelchair-bound person. The training was held at the Handicaps Welfare Association (HWA) and conducted by a group of highly experienced and very helpful HWA volunteers led by Judy Wee and Patrick Ang, respectively the Vice President and Executive Committee Member of HWA.
The session was well structured...		...beginning with the theory...

		... following by classroom style practical sessions... << Judy patiently provided step-by-step coaching to the facilitators on how to safely help a wheelchair-bound person get down a curb.
... there are indoor facilities to practise wheeling down a ramp safely...		... and negotiating an 8" curb safely...

.... and finally graduating to the outdoor to tackle the real stuffs to affirm their newly acquired skills.
