Stefanie Laurence wants to live in a world where every wheelchair is perfectly fitted, comfortable, functional, and used correctly.

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.
