ATP and specialised seating teams alike will appreciate the 2018 publication of Seating and Wheeled Mobility: A Clinical Resource Guide. It is a comprehensive instructional clinical package (440pp) providing practical assessment instruction, clinical reasoning consideration and process required to optimise wheeled-mobility function with specialised wheelchair technologies. Seating and Wheeled Mobility: A Clinical Resource Guide is an amazingly dense text and an extraordinary sector resource. It imparts a range of expert analyses of current evidence-based practices for effective team approach aimed at informing competent seating teams and participating consumers. It provides clinical and service practice backgrounding as to the `what, how, when, why and why not' procedures to support developing specialist skills essential for more sophisticated seating-wheeled mobility prescription. In doing so it addresses a wider seating audience. - Dr Rachael Elliott Schmidt, Occupational Therapist PHD
