Imagine someone suddenly grabbing and moving your body without warning.

For wheelchair users, whose chair is a physical extension of their personal space, it can startle even with a friendly voice. This is especially true for people living with dementia.

Our Dementia Education and Partnerships Director, Rebekah Wilson, explains three ways to build trust before you move a wheelchair:

👀 Stay visible: Approach from the front or visual field

🗣️ Slow down: Allow time to process your words and add gestures

🤝 Ask first: Always request permission before touching
