Imagine a kitchen so beautiful and elegant that it must have been created by leading interior designers. 1 In a complicated world, the AKW four point specification process is a simple route to ensure the best multi-user friendly kitchen solution for those with or without physical mobility limitations. Needs assessment The first stage of the specification process is to assess the needs of the user. Determining such factors as the mobility limitations of the user, what the intended use of the kitchen will be and who else will need to use the space is a key part of this process. Our kitchen experts are ready to assist you every step of the way. Imagine a kitchen specification so fully-loaded with features and built to the highest standards yet offered at such a surprisingly affordable price. Imagine a professional kitchen design so flexible that it can be enjoyed by all the family including those with limited mobility and wheelchair users alike; a kitchen inspired by leading occupational therapists and created by a company with decades of expertise in making independent living easier.

Part of the preparation process is the ability of the disabled person to access and use white goods e.g. oven, hob and/or fridge; this is often not achievable with their existing kitchen appliances and new ones need to be purchased. The Occupational Therapist should work in conjunction with their client to assess, review and clinically reason the need for any new appliances and state that they are deemed to be necessary and appropriate to fulfil the legal requirements of being able to prepare food as set down by the Act.
