This service works closely with vendor reps/techs and equipment specialists to provide a collaborative approach to assessment and fitting of wheelchairs and seating systems.

We provide:

• recommendations of appropriate seating equipment and wheelchairs for children aged 0-18 years
• delivery and fitting of seating equipment
• growth and repair service for seating systems
• custom fabrication of seating and seating accessories to meet assessed complex needs
• seating service outreach to specialized schools in the Calgary Zone
• support to community therapists for skill and knowledge building around assessment and troubleshooting of seating and wheelchair positioning concerns

Equipment is provided according to the policies and procedure set out by Alberta Aides to Daily Living (AADL), Non-insured Health Benefit for First Nations and Inuit agency (NIHB) and Interim Federal health (IFH) as determined by eligibility for funding. The service also supports children and families to access seating and wheelchair equipment through private medical insurance and donor funding (as needed) based on a comprehensive assessment and needs analysis.
