JMCC Seating and Mobility Program – Custom Fabrication and Modification

The John McGivney Children’s Centre (JMCC) provides rehabilitation and support services to children and youth with disabilities in Windsor-Essex. One of its key services is Seating and Mobility, which ensures that children have customized equipment—such as wheelchairs and adaptive seating—that helps them participate in daily life safely and comfortably. This project proposes placing a student from St. Clair College’s Biotech Engineering Program as an intern within JMCC’s Seating and Mobility team. The intern’s technical skills will allow the Centre to go beyond day-to-day operations and advance innovation in equipment customization and fabrication. This initiative will help develop clinical protocols, create reusable templates, and improve overall service delivery.
