Mobility for People with Special Needs

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.

This weekend was one of the most glorious weekends that we have had this year. It was sunny and warm but breezy enough to give us such a luscious temperature. Since we only get this kind of weather like five days a year (lols), what better way to spend it than to soak ourselves in as much sun strolling around. As soon as we woke up, honey, Bee and me packed our bags, got in the car and headed off to the nearest park. While we were parking, the driver of car two cars away from us grabbed my attention. He was getting off the vehicle and I noticed that he was being assisted by his passenger coz he was transferring into a wheel chair.

It never ceases to amaze me how much differently abled people have more mobility now. I can only imagine how restricted a handicapped person might feel and how limited they actually are without the technological advancements and aids that they now enjoy. I believe that the progress in terms of disabled people going back on track to their much desired road of independence are fostered by institutions such as NMEDA. NMEDA is the only association that promotes safe driving and equipment for disabled people. They are non-profit and their members are required to adhere to the safety standards of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. NMEDA dealers (members) are the ones who sell handicap vans and vehicle modifications for disabled people.

Through organizations such as these, people who are handicapped can be assured that they are getting help towards becoming more mobile and by transacting with dealers who are accredited by NMEDA, they can be assured that their safety is priority and the quality of the products they acquire are assured. Dealing with accredited dealers does not only benefit the disabled person but also their families and caregivers not only because these products help them become more independent but also because they are assured of their safety when using the products they purchased.

Safety and independence are two words that I know disabled people give much importance to and I think that it is great that there are institutions now like NMEDA who work towards the betterment of disabled people.
