This educational session was designed to provide applicable concepts and strategies to clinicians involved in the assessment and prescription of seating systems and mobility devices. The focus will be on creating a process that enhances successful outcomes. Special emphasis will be placed on the value of the “hands on” seating assessment - what parameters to assess in both the supine and sitting assessment and when its ok to skip the supine assessment. At its conclusion, clinicians will have improved skills and confidence in wheelchair assessment.

As work and funding demands increase during the provision of CRT, personalities, frustrations and genuine dislikes of others can also increase. There are times when parties have to overlook these issues to accomplish the end goals. Often times, one's own biases can exaggerate these issues. Understanding and owning our own issues can result in greater comfort and ease during these times.
