Scooter Assessments

Our Occupational Therapists are able to assess and provide impartial advice about whether a scooter is a suitable option for you, which type and what to look for when purchasing.

The assessment will be tailored to your individual needs but may cover the following areas:

• Physical & Cognitive abilities
• Vision
• Medical conditions and prognosis
• Sitting posture
• Lifestyle requirements & Home situation
• Funding options
• Carers’ abilities (if applicable)

The assessment will also include some training in the safe use of a scooter and address other considerations such as storage, loading into a vehicle etc.

We can also provide training-only if required to build confidence and skills in using a powered scooter.
