Stefanie Laurence wants to live in a world where every wheelchair is perfectly fitted, comfortable, functional, and used correctly. As an Occupational Therapist and Clinical Educator for Motion, she’s been on her soapbox for over 35 years at colleges, universities, group homes, hospitals, and conferences across North America and even as far as Europe. When she’s not teaching about seating and mobility equipment, you can find her with her arms wrapped around a client helping to create a custom seating system, or elbows deep with a team to sort out a challenge.
