ABSTRACT

Approximately two and a half years ago, the staff of the Adult Day Treatment Program at United Cerebral Palsy Association of Western New York, Inc., noted that increasing numbers of clients were poorly positioned in their wheelchairs or needed equipment that would ensure functional positions for daily activities. It was also known that the process of ordering and justifying proper dura­ ble medical equipment required time-consuming efforts, especially on the part of the occupational therapist.
