Occupational Therapy Seating Advice

Following your Occupational Therapy assessment and a loan of home seating has been provided, your therapist completes a handover form of relevant information to add you to the review log. The review log is monitored by the CYPOT service.

A seating review is completed annually, every 12 months and you will be contacted by a member of the service to arrange either a virtual or a face to face appointment at this time.

The purpose of the seating review is to ensure that:

• The seat is still meeting the identified needs
• The seat is of correct size
• The accessories applied to your seat are working

Your child and their chair must be present at their seating review.

Your child’s seating appointment is very important and as there will be limited appointments within your time period. If your offered appointment is not suitable you must contact the service to discuss if an alternative can be offered, as soon as possible.

If you identify a problem with your seating prior to your annual review, please contact the CYPOT service to discuss support.
