On the Road Again: Transport Considerations Across the Lifespan

Discover the importance of personalised transport solutions for individuals with medical conditions and disabilities, addressing safety, well-being, and comfort concerns.

In this workshop we will navigate the road to comprehensive transport considerations, unveiling key components essential for crafting a safe and tailored transport plan. Our journey spans from infancy to adulthood, highlighting specific focus areas for each age group. Once armed with an understanding of transport plans, we shift our focus to practical solutions within the realms of Car Seats, Vehicle Seat Positioning, Transfers, and Wheelchair Access.

PM Session

Seating options, Kids Style

“Posturally supportive seating systems come in numerous styles and designs, assisting children with a range of seating needs who require access to different environments across their day.”

This session will highlight key seating principles and explore the relationship between posture and function, linking clinical reasoning to product rationale.

We’ll go over different options as well as how to set up and adjust them to enable children to access their surroundings and engage with everyday tasks.
