The primary objectives include: 1. Measuring the effect of TEAM Wheels on satisfaction with participation in important activities of life compared to current practice; 2. Measuring retention of participation benefits at 6-months post treatment. Secondary Objectives relate to additional rehabilitation Outcomes and include: 1. Comparing the effect of TEAM Wheels to current practice on wheelchair skills capacity and performance; wheelchair-specific self-efficacy; health-related quality of life; and objective measurement of wheelchair mobility. 2.
