Comfort versus positioning: What is the difference and can we have both?
In this 1-hour webinar, we will explore the clinical distinctions between comfort seating and posture-protecting seating systems. Through evidence-informed discussion and practical examples, participants will gain clarity on how seating choices impact posture, function, and long-term health outcomes.
We will examine the design features and intended use of comfort seating versus posture-protecting systems, and critically evaluate their implications for individuals with complex needs. The session will also support therapists in applying clinical reasoning to seating prescriptions, balancing comfort, alignment, and participation goals.
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.

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.
