Healthcare Professionals

Mobility choices works closely with Healthcare professionals to ensure the correct solution to meet client/patient needs. Most commonly we will work with the OT (Occupational Therapist) RE (Re-hab Engineer) and/or social worker. We will also work with Legal and Specialist advisors, particularly in the case of accident victims.

A principal objective of this web site is to provide a resource to healthcare professionals to assist them in deciding the issues surrounding choice of solution, and updates in technology and practice.

The Healthcare Professional sections are accessible by login and password to those involved in the diagnosis Help and support of the disabled community.
