Getting the right wheelchair shouldn’t take months of back-and-forth appointments with separate providers. The Seating Clinic at WVU Medicine Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute was built around a simpler model: one visit, one coordinated team and a complete evaluation from start to finish.

The clinic brings together a physician, a certified occupational therapist and an assistive technology professional alongside an on-site mobility equipment vendor. That team approach means patients with complex mobility needs, those replacing an existing chair and first-time wheelchair users all receive a thorough, coordinated evaluation without having to piece together care from multiple sources.

The clinic’s occupational therapist holds both Assistive Technology Professional and Seating and Mobility Specialist certifications, making her the only occupational therapist in West Virginia with that dual credential. That level of specialized expertise is available here, without traveling out of state.

From the initial evaluation through insurance coordination, fitting and long-term equipment support, patients have one team behind them.
