# Event Details - **Event Name**: Wagga Wagga Clinical Education Day – Exploring Seating & Postural Care - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 15 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 am – Tue, 15 Sep, 2026 at 03:00 pm (+10:00) - **Event Description**: Explore alternate seating and postural care, with practical insights into effective seating solutions and real-life clinical outcomes.About this EventJoin us in Wagga Wagga for a practical Clinical Education Day exploring two important areas of supported seating and postural care.Across two focused sessions, participants will explore assessment, clinical reasoning and decision-making for effective seating solutions across a range of real-life situations — from rest and relaxation through to recreation and daily activity.The day will provide opportunities to apply clinical concepts through assessment analysis and case-based decision-making, with a focus on aligning seating solutions with individual client goals, postural needs and functional priorities.Please select one session ticket when registering, or choose the Full Day ticket to attend both sessions.Session 1: 9:00am to 12:30pmPostural Care in Seating – Considerations for Effective SolutionsFor a person living with a physical disability, effective postural care across all areas of function can make an incredible difference to quality of life.Postural management programs aim to incorporate a comprehensive schedule of daily and night-time positioning, equipment and physical activity to help maintain or improve body structures and function, while supporting activity and participation.Supported seating is an important part of this overall approach, with applications throughout the day for mobility, activity and recreation, and rest and relaxation.But how do we gain a global understanding of a person’s needs, wants and goals to inform effective clinical recommendations?It all starts with assessment.This practical workshop will explore key considerations when assessing postural care across different forms of sitting, with a focus on evidence-informed clinical reasoning.Participants will explore assessment interpretation and selected assessment tools, including MAT and SATCo, before considering critical seating factors such as postural and functional priorities, risk and trade-off analysis, and case-based decision-making for supported sitting.Behavioural Learning ObjectivesBy attending this session, participants will:Identify key elements and tools used in postural assessment for supported sitting.Analyse assessment findings, functional goals and postural support needs to determine priorities for supported sitting interventions.Justify a preliminary equipment trial or configuration plan using clinical reasoning, client goals and identified risks and trade-offs within a case study.Session 2: 1:00pm to 3:00pmAlternate Seating – From Rest to Recreation and the Real Life in BetweenSupported seating is a valuable component of an overall postural management program, with applications throughout the day including mobility, activity and recreation, hygiene tasks, and rest and relaxation.Making effective clinical recommendations for assistive technology (AT) solutions across these different areas can be a complex balancing act between postural and functional priorities.Thorough assessment, clear and aligned client and clinician goals, and well-supported clinical reasoning provide the foundation for these decisions.This practical workshop will use assessment analysis and case-based decision-making to explore and contrast key considerations for postural management across rest, recreation and daily activity.Participants will consider postural and functional priorities, risk and trade-off analysis, and potential AT solutions for case studies across each of these key areas.Behavioural Learning ObjectivesBy attending this session, participants will:Identify key seating considerations across the areas of rest, recreation and daily activity.Justify a preliminary equipment trial or configuration plan using clinical reasoning, client goals and identified risks and trade-offs for a case study in each of these areas. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/1cfa8430-a5f0-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w1200-h512-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/1d491960-a5f0-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf8d848-gmir.jpg SPECIAL GUEST PRESENTER:Both sessions will be led by Mellinda Clarke, Clinical Educator and Physiotherapist at APEX Mobility.Mellinda trained at the University of Queensland and is a physiotherapist with more than 25 years’ experience.
