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.
