About Michael Shannon, ATP

Enhancing Mobility and Quality of Life

  My name is Michael Shannon, I have been working in the mobility industry for over 20 years. I am a RESNA Certified Assistive Technology Professional. My expertise is in evaluating people with disabilities for manual and power mobility equipment. My goal is to provide individuals with a better quality of life by helping in the education, selection and use of hi-tech mobility equipment. I strongly believe that having access to appropriate mobility equipment can significantly improve the overall well-being and independence of people with disabilities.

As an assistive technology professional, I work closely with individuals, their families, and healthcare providers to identify their unique needs and recommend the most suitable mobility solutions. This involves conducting assessments, taking measurements, and recommending customized equipment that meets the individual's functional abilities, lifestyle, and environment.

I also provide ongoing training and support to ensure that individuals are using their mobility equipment effectively and safely. This includes teaching them how to properly operate and maintain their equipment, as well as providing guidance on how to navigate different environments and situations.

In addition to helping individuals with disabilities, I also work with organizations and businesses to make their facilities and services more accessible. This includes conducting accessibility audits and providing recommendations for improvements, as well as training staff on how to interact with and assist individuals with disabilities.

Overall, I am passionate about enhancing mobility and improving the quality of life for people with disabilities. By providing personalized mobility solutions and education, I believe we can help individuals achieve greater independence, confidence, and participation in their communities.
