Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
After obtaining informed consent, participants in the first two groups will complete baseline questionnaires. They will then receive the transfer training program.
Participants in the third group (a wait-list control group) will complete the baseline questionnaires and be contacted one month later to complete a transfer assessment instrument questionnaire. They will then wait 5 months. After this period, participants will complete the baseline questionnaires a second time, and then receive the transfer training.
After completing the transfer training, all groups will be contacted immediately post training to complete additional questionnaires to assess the effectiveness of the remote transfer training program. Participants in the 2nd and 3rd group will be contacted 1 month and 6 months post-training to complete additional questionnaires.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Immediate Training (no follow up)
Individuals may decide to participate in the research study training program, but not in any follow up questionnaires. This group will have immediate access to the independent transfer training materials. They will complete data collection measures embedded in the transfer training program, including demographics, Online Learning Readiness Scale (OLRS), Moorong Self Efficacy Scale (MSES), Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS), Transfer Assessment Instrument Questionnaire (TAI-Q), and the Wheelchair User Shoulder Pain Index (WUSPI).
Independent Transfer Training
Independent Transfer Training Program: ITTP training starts with an overview and self-evaluation using the transfer assessment instrument questionnaire (TAI-Q) followed by three core modules: wheelchair setup, body setup, and flight/landing. Wheelchair setup includes factors such as the angle and distance of the wheelchair to the transfer surface, removing barriers, applying the brakes, and height of the transfer. Body setup involves positioning one's body for an optimal transfer and covers foot, hip, arm and hand positions. Flight/landing discusses how to achieve a smooth and controlled transfer, the head-hips relationship, use of transfer device, and safe landing.
Immediate Training (with follow up)
Individuals may decide to participate in the research study, but do not want to be randomized. After consent is obtained, these individuals will be directed immediately to the baseline questionnaires (see above) before and after the independent transfer training. Participants may also be asked to complete a user satisfaction survey.

Randomized Training
Individuals may decide to participate in the research study and agree to be randomized. These individuals will be immediately randomized into an immediate or a wait list control group. The immediate will receive the independent transfer training program after completing the baseline questionnaires. The wait list control group will wait approximately 6 months before receiving the independent transfer training program.
