Workshops and Education

This hands-on, intensive, two-day workshop provides occupational therapists and physiotherapists with foundational seating and mobility assessment skills essential for working with clients across the lifespan and in any care setting. We explore the clinical process from assessment to setup of a new seating system and wheelchair, with real clients and vendor support.

The workshop builds on the pre-requisite “Wheelchair Seating and Positioning: Practical Applications” to explore concepts in complex seating and mobility. This course will review the seating clinical process and build on this foundational knowledge, exploring complex seating intervention through a mix of presentation, case studies, and hands-on experiential learning with clients and vendors in small breakout groups.
