Tweaking Seating Systems: Setting up Seating to Individualised Needs

We’re sure that most clinicians have been asked to review a user’s existing seating system and make some ‘tweaks’. Sometimes the user’s needs have changed over time, and we need to have systems that adapt with their needs. Having to review an existing seating system can be overwhelming and it can be difficult to know where to start. 

In this half-day workshop, we’re going to learn how to assess the effectiveness of a seating system to determine whether it is meeting the user’s goals. We’ll have the opportunity to get hands-on with seating products and learn how to adjust the seating angles and postural supports (pelvic belts, harnesses, head supports, trunk supports and thigh supports) to meet seating goals. You’ll finish the workshop feeling confident and looking forward to the next time you’re asked to review a seating system.
