Adult Wheelchair and Seating Program

Directions and Contact

At the Parkwood Hospital Adult Wheelchair and Seating Program we assess and prescribe wheelchair and related seating equipment for adults in Southwestern Ontario.

We emphasize a team approach. An experienced team, including a physiotherapist, occupational therapist and the vendor of your choice, will address your wheelchair and related seating issues. If needed, the skills of a seating technician can also be accessed through some vendors.

Our therapists are registered authorizers with the Assistive Devices Program (ADP).

We do not accept referrals for scooter or walker assessments.

• To improve/maintain the quality of life for adults in Southwestern Ontario by addressing their wheelchair and related seating needs;
