What will you learn?

In this workshop, you will gain practical knowledge and tools to:

•  Reframe strollers as community access equipment by linking recommendations to participation and endurance
• Make clear clinical decisions between stroller, wheelchair and activity seating based on functional need
• Strengthen clinical reasoning by balancing postural support, safety, development and real-world use
• Incorporate family capacity, routines and environments to ensure recommendations are practical and sustainable
• Identify and prioritise equipment features, harnesses and accessories that add meaningful clinical value
• Recognise and respond to restrictive practice considerations in paediatric mobility
• Write clear, defensible NDIS justifications aligned with funding expectations
• Apply practical strategies and clinical insights to improve everyday paediatric AT decision-making 

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is designed for Occupational Therapists who:

•  Prescribe paediatric assistive technology under the NDIS
• Recommend or trial disability strollers for children
• Want clearer clinical reasoning between stroller, wheelchair and activity seating
• Navigate funding justification and documentation requirements

It is particularly valuable for Occupational Therapists who:
