SSE OPEN RESOURCE SERIES – ASSESSMENT

The SSE Open Resource Series – Seating Tools: Assessment of a Client was created to assist you to correctly assess the needs of clients for mobility and positioning devices. Assessments should be carried out with input from a qualified practitioner – Shonaquip Social Enterprise (SSE) cannot take responsibility for the quality of work carried out using this guide or its accompanying resources.

• MEASUREMENT SHEET

There are many variations of measurement and client sheets around – this one was developed by Shonaquip in collaboration with DARE consult. It is thorough and easy to use – all of our seating therapists use this form to record client measurements.

• CLIENT CONSENT FORM TEMPLATE

Photos are critical to the assessment, prescription and manufacturing process – they are also often required by NGOs or funders for reporting purposes, or to share on Social Media.  Make sure your organisation or practice has a well-constructed Consent Form that protects the rights and dignity of the client, their family and yourself – never take photos without consent!

• TAKING CLINICAL PHOTOS

Clinical Photos are critical to the assessment, prescription and manufacturing process – use our Clinical photo guide to make sure your photos are an asset to your work!
