Becky Breaux, PhD, OTR/L, ATP and Michelle L. Lange, OTR/L, ATP/SMS

This mixed-methods study is supported by a grant from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR grant number90SFGE0077).  NIDILRR is a Center within the Administration for Community Living (ACL), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).  This study includes the development and dissemination of a cross-sectional survey to individuals who use dynamic seating and their caregivers, followed by semi-structured interviews with a subset of participants. Data will be used to investigate the characteristics of users, their patterns-of-use, and their perceptions about the impact of dynamic seating on their health, functional abilities, participation, and experiences of disability.

Upcoming Survey

We will be distributing a survey soon to clients who are using Dynamic Seating components and their caregivers. If you are working with clients who use Dynamic Seating, and are willing to share the Survey link with those clients and their caregivers, please provide your email address. We will send more information soon. Thank you!
