Congratulations! Whether you’re a newly qualified occupational therapist or currently in the midst of your training, becoming an OT is a challenging, yet profoundly rewarding achievement.
As you embark on your journey from studies to the professional world, we’d like to offer a full rundown of how our team is here to support you along the way.
The right wheelchair ramp can be the difference between your client being restricted to their house and being able to freely access their garden, friends, shops, and more. Yet, ramp assessing can feel complex, especially at first.
We’ve put together this comprehensive guide and all of our resources to help make ramp assessment simple, safe, and effective, ensuring freedom for your clients.
Learning wheelchair gradients, lengths, and all the different types for various thresholds can sound stressful. That’s why we offer a live demonstration webinar with specific, practical advice for local authority teams and prescribers. Everything you need to know, from calculating gradients and ramp lengths to overcoming tricky threshold types, is covered in this session.
In just an hour and a half, you’ll be fully introduced to the world of ramping and have the opportunity to join a live Q&A session at the end. You’ll receive a certificate of attendance along with our comprehensive Access & Ramp Assessment Guide after the session.
There’s nothing quite like face-to-face training. Seeing the ramp solutions in real life and trying them out yourself provides a much better understanding of which ramps will be best suited to your clients’ needs. Our ramp experts will visit any location for any size team to provide hands-on ramp training.
These sessions are a brilliant opportunity to cover any specific ramp and access challenges you are facing and to gain personalised training to confidently approach ramp assessment.
Take the stress out of specifying ramps by getting in touch with our expert team. Talk to us in whatever way works best for you, from a phone call or email, to booking a free video call to thoroughly discuss your client’s specific situation.
We will help you confirm the measurements needed, review the critical details that must be considered for each client, and specify the right ramp for your client’s needs. With over 27 years of experience, ramp assessing and specifying is our bread and butter. If you’re having any difficulty at any point, reach out to our team – we’re here to support you.
Many OTs started where you are today: new to ramps, new to specifying, and unsure where to start. That’s why, alongside our free support structure, we’ve built these essential tools and guides for you to reference at any time:
Use our video series to find the information you need, understand what’s best for the end-user, and determine the correct gradient.
