Mechanical Design & Services

The Mechanical Design and Services Program provides adaptive equipment to meet a child’s specific needs when a suitable product is not otherwise available. These needs may be in:

• Seating
• Alternate positioning
• Mobility
• Mounting or positioning of other assistive technologies and/or
• Safe containment

The child’s needs may be addressed through:

• Modification of a mainstream consumer product, such as a bicycle, tricycle, toboggan, classroom chair or kitchen chair
• Customization of commercial adaptive equipment, such as wheelchairs and seating products, commodes or walking aids
• Custom design and fabrication of a unique product, or
• Fabrication of “standard RCC design” adaptive equipment such as standers, pommel walkers, wheelchair trays, or adaptive toilet seats.

The Mechanical Design and Services clinicians function as members of a multidisciplinary team in the provision of assessment, intervention, and education to clients, families and caregivers.
