Mentoring is an invaluable learning tool when working with service providers in developing the necessary skills to prescribe wheelchairs to individuals with mobility needs. The ISWP, therefore, developed a mentoring initiative to be integrated into current practice and adapted for service provider training needs to better serve wheelchair users globally. Learning Objectives: 1. Recognize the important role of mentoring in competency and skill development to facilitate appropriate wheelchair services 2. Describe different types of mentoring approaches to fit organizational and mentor/mentee needs 3. Evaluate the development and use of ISWP’s mentoring initiative, while demonstrating how to adapt and apply it for enhanced practice in participants’ own organization
