When Would You Determine Funding for Wheelchair Assessments?

Question

Answer

I know some people that look at funding immediately and say okay they are not going to even consider options that are not going to be fundable.  I am usually aware of someone's funding, but I try to do the same assessment regardless of the person’s funding source, and recommend what I believe is optimal.  From there, we can work with our options as necessary from funding.  Usually if a funding source says no, it does not mean no.  It means give more information.  We have an opportunity to provide additional information to that funding source to help not only this individual client, but future clients as well.
