>>What do you define as special wheelchair controls? We would provide
>>what is needed, to enable someone who has the ability to control their
>>own chair. We would look at any type of switch, joystick, scanner and
>>utilise any funtional ability. This would all come under the wheelcahir
>>service budget. Assessments are done by RE and OT and RE would sort out
>>any modifications needed to controls and positioning thereof.

>>Does this help?
