The report
From 1990 to 1994 CALL ran two projects to first develop the Smart Wheelchair, and then evaluate them. The main outcome of the evaluation (apart from the Smart Wheelchairs themselves) was a report and annexes. Although this report was originally published in 1994, it is as relevant now as it was then. It is still one of the only pieces of qualitative research into the evaluation of the effective use of Smart Wheelchairs as a part of children’s emerging mobility, communication, education and personal development.
The report focuses on the development of the chair and the tools used to evaluate its use. Twelve CALL Centre Smart Wheelchairs were introduced to three Edinburgh based special schools.
