    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.
