What Kind of Wheelchair Control should I choose? Which would be suitable for me?

Hi Noah, thanks for your reply. My spatial awareness problems are severe. That option sounds interesting, but it does sound like it would be really expensive.

Hi Noah, I have already attended Naidex a few times, and that was useful, and they had some models of chairs I like. the only thing was I can't transfer into a chair on my own, and when I told them, the people at each equipment stand said they couldn't help with transfers as they didn't have the manual handling skills or equipment. so, I just saw the chairs from a distance, which was a disappointment. it's very different seeing a chair to physically trying it out. I was recommended Permobil, but there's the cost factor behind that. I've looked at chairs by Invacare and Sunrise Medical too. I'll let you know how I get on. the only thing is, there's a waiting list for wheelchair services. I've been to wheelchair services in Oxfordshire before, and all they did was measure me for chair width, and say they didn't have enough money so they gave me a basic manual chair which is useless to me and I can't use because I can't push a manual chair. they, and the physio I was with at the time, told me they realised an electric chair would be better for me but they couldn't fund it, and that the manual chair would be good "in the meantime." it doesn't have the positioning I require, and like I say I can't push it myself, so what use is it to me?none. All I got from them was a list of powerchair providers in my area. I have been trying to save the money up since. I contacted some charities but they said they didn't have the money. I really feel I'm missing out on a good service here, and severely compromising my needs by not being able to access what I need. I have thought about Motability but as I need the chair all the time, renting is a costly option for me. should I go back to the wheelchair service or see an OT again? I'm not sure whether going back to the wheelchair service will get me anywhere. I went to my GP and then to a neurologist and asked to be re referred to the wheelchair service, he refused to refer me. Am I going down the right track with this? I contacted wheelchair manufacturers, and their answer is "we don't sell to the public, ask your technician." I need to get a technician and people capable and willing to help me, because I have found that going just on a salesperson's advice, I have made the wrong purchases although I know my needs well because of what they offered me.
I feel I was short changed in the assesment at the wheelchair service, as they didn't take into account my posture, comfort, needs to control the chair, and to have a chair that's right for me, instead using the excuse that there are cutbacks and I'm "not disabled enough" for some things. that's ridiculous.
another post I wrote here about problems with a technician outlines all the problems I had with the last one, who hasn't got back to me. during the assesment at the wheelchair service, I was with a physio, but she just stood back and let the wheelchair service technician
measure me (just for chair width, no other measurements) and gave no input whatsoever or asked no questions about my needs. none of them did in fact.
