severe or profound. The way individuals with intellectual disabilities face these challenges every day and how adaptive behaviors and advocacy can help these individuals. I used the information from this article to better understand intellectual disabilities. 4. Brienza, D., Kelsey, S., Karg, P., Allegretti, November 10, 2010. A randomized clinical trial on preventing pressure ulcers with wheelchair seat cushions. American Geriatrics Society. https://agsjournals.onlinelibrary. wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1532-5415.2 This article is about determining the effectiveness of wheelchair seat cushions and the prevention of pressure ulcers or sores on the skin. They go through the research with having 232 participants assigned at random to a skin protection foam cushion for 6 months or until a pressure ulcer incident. The locations were 12 nursing homes, the age of the participants were 65 and older who used wheelchairs for 6 or more hours per day. The cushion was randomized in skin protection foam and variety by air, viscous fluid foam or gel. They concluded that the skin protection cushion with fitted wheelchairs lower pressure ulcer incidences. I used this article to better understand the importance of comfortable and high quality material cushions. 5.

This article is about the wheelchair needs for children and young people. A charity called the Physical Disability and Sensory impairment forum researched local parents who had concerns relating to the assessment of mobility equipment. This project was set up to consider those concerns, looking into the role of the wheelchair in children’s mobility. The children’s needs were met and unmet. The charity sent out questionnaires to the parents and children to gain insight. However their results were disappointing and results were not presented. I used the information from this article to see how other people have interviewed children with disabilities. 6.
