Reports on a project commissioned by, the Physical Disability and Sensory Impairment Forum, to investigate local parental concerns relating to the assessment for and provision of mobility equipment. The article reports on the results of the literature review carried out in order to establish current practice in the National Health Service wheelchair service in England, the role of the wheelchair in children's mobility, the wheelchair and seating needs of children and the met and unmet need. A questionnaire was also distributed to children and their parents to gain their views, but due to a poor response rate the results are not presented in the article.
