Twenty disabled people and wheelchair users in Jiangsu each received a unique and most suitable wheelchair on September 28.
The Reed’s Home, a civil charity organization in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, led 7 wheelchair assemblers, wheelchair mechanics and volunteers in tailoring wheelchairs for these special people. All procedures were carefully carried out in accordance with the wheelchair service specifications of the World Health Organization, according to the Reed's Home.
The Disabled Persons’ Federation of Haizhou District, Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, held a wheelchair donation ceremony in Xinghua Community, Xinhai Street. More than 30 people participated in the event, including representatives from local enterprises, Amity Foundation, wheelchair adaptors from Reed’s Home, recipients, and their relatives.
To provide custom-made wheelchairs, the center also carried out "wheelchair social service". The wheelchair assemblers first interviewed the users for evaluation, to determine whether they had a brain injury, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or stroke. Wheelchair users were inquired about their lifestyle and environment, such as the approximate distance they moved every day. Then, the assemblers measured the width of the hip, the depth of the seat, and the distance from the popliteal socket to the sole of the wheelchair users. Eventually, the recipients were trained in the use and maintenance of the wheelchair.

9月28日上午，当日共20名残障人士、轮椅使用者收到了独一无二的且最适合自己的轮椅。
活动现场，由镇江芦苇之家义工服务社牵头组织的7名轮椅装配师、轮椅机械师及志愿者为他们量身改装轮椅，一切流程都按照世界卫生组织的轮椅服务规范认真进行。
江苏省连云港市海州区残联在新海街道星化社区举办轮椅捐赠仪式。海州区爱心企业、爱德基金会代表，镇江芦苇之家轮椅适配师以及受赠残疾人及亲属，共计30余人参加了活动。
“轮椅社会服务”流程介绍：
1.轮椅装配师先与轮椅使用者面谈评估。确定轮椅使用者是脑损伤、脑性瘫痪，还是肌肉萎缩症、中风等。
2.询问轮椅使用者的生活方式和使用环境。如使用轮椅后，每天移动的距离大致是多少？
3.对轮椅使用者的臀宽、坐深、腘窝到足底的距离进行精准测量，从而开具“轮椅处方”
4.最后对轮椅使用者进行轮椅使用和保养的培训。
