Background/aim: People with profound cognitive disabilities are not expected to learn powered mobility use. The Driving to Learn project focussed on what this population could achieve from practising in a joystick-operated powered wheelchair. By means of using grounded theory methodology an eight-phase process growing consciousness of joystick-use was identified. In addition, a tool for assessment of actual phase of joystick-use and facilitating strategies for each phase emerged. The aim of the present study was to evaluate inter-rater reliability of the assessment tool.
