[tri-med] Re: wheelchairs

kam has good trunk control.  i think some of the kids are strapped in so much 
they dont have to work at sitting up.  we just use a lap seat belt in her wc 
and the h chest strap on the school bus.  she likes to have her feet sticking 
out so i made a little black elastic strap to keep her from snapping of an 
ankle!  i can send a photo if you'd like
