DS are a well organised lot. I think they fly into Salzburg. Each disabled person has a qualified adaptive skier, and a volunteer ski assistant. All the lift attendants are trained to operate the lifts to suit the particular needs, may it be a sit ski or other need.
Post Script: I have put a note on BASI, will just see if there is a response.
I would check to see if Seefeld has an adaptive instructor. You might also phone DS, based in Aviemore who seem to do most of the organising. They may be aware of someone to meet your needs. I will put a message on the BASI website, and see if it comes up with anything.

Thank you so much for all the information and postings!
I think that's a really good idea to give DS a call. Schlick 2000 website has info on it but they haven't replied to me which is a shame as only 15 minutes outside of Innsbruck.
Appreciate your advice and help.

Two sessions booked with Sara = one very happy, excited little 8 year old boy. I cannot thank you enough for your help and putting me in contact with Sara.
I'll pm you some photos from his sessions when I return.
Kindest regards

The Adaptive ski instructor made the young lad's day. I have watched the video, and they skied over some bumpy stuff ~ not easy in a sit ski.
