Toby is an ATP who works for Numotion in Connecticut. I’ve had the opportunity to work with Toby on a few occasions and I truly admire his amazing knowledge and experience. He works quite a bit with dynamic seating and I had an opportunity to talk with him about that recently.

Dale Thomas is a supplier with National Seating and Mobility in Lexington, Kentucky.

Change Can Be Good! An Interview with Cary Yarbrough of Action Seating and Mobility
Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS
Cary Yarbrough, ATP, works with Action Seating and Mobility in Sherwood, AK. He has been working with dynamic seating for many years, having mainly recommended the Kids Rock wheelchair in the past. When this was discontinued, he set out to find other options. Cary’s number one goal at the 2017 International Seating Symposium was to find Dynamic Seating – and he did at the Seating Dynamics booth.
I had a great conversation with Cary by phone and asked him a few questions.
Supplier Interview: Concussions don’t Just Happen in Football
Michelle L. Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS
Recently I had a nice conversation with a colleague about Dynamic Seating. Joe McKnight is Director of Business Development in California, Nevada, and Arizona for Numotion, and he has been in the wheelchair seating and mobility field for a long time – probably longer than he would like to admit! Having that much experience provides a unique view. Joe states that “how we practiced 30 years ago and how we practice now should be different. We need to re-evaluate how we are doing things and how we need to change.”
