Transfer and Seating Assessment

The Transfer and Seating Assessment offers advice and practical trial of equipment to improve access to a car seat and advice on seating and posture to improve comfort for car journeys.

The two-hour assessment is carried out by a qualified occupational therapist who will produce a written report to confirm the outcome of the assessment and recommendations.

The assessment can help to identify the problems that are causing concern during car journeys, either for a passenger or a driver. The large indoor demonstration area offers an opportunity to try various aids and adapted vehicles to find the most suitable solutions. Loading equipment such as wheelchairs or mobility scooters into a car is also considered, as are people who need to travel whilst seated in a wheelchair.
