Customised Equipment- Making Things Possible

This session will provide an overview of REMAP, a national charity that has been making and adapting equipment to meet the unique needs of individuals at no cost to them.  The variety and complexity of equipment provided is wide-ranging and limited only by the creativity and skills of its volunteer engineers.  The equipment created is explicitly designed for the client. 

Sharing case studies, we will showcase the life span of REMAP’s service and explore how your professional curiosity can help clients achieve much more. We will discuss what can be achieved and how to consider the language we use as occupational therapists when working with the engineer. We will explore how you can influence commercial manufacturers to design accessible and cognitive infusion products.
