ROAD SAFETY FOR SPECIAL PEOPLE

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

Handicapped people requires extra special care. That is why NMEDA gives information on road safety and correct consciousness towards travel. In many occasion, NMEDA been help people get that right information. My uncle was a handicapped for about 12 years already. The doctor told him that he has to be stationed in a wheelchair due to a road accident that badly injured his left leg. He was severly injured because of that accident. The bone doctor told him that walking would be a problem for him because of the accident.

We were supposed to acquire a wheelchair using the catalogs in the Internet. But the doctor told us to better get a QAP assurance that the wheelchair is fit for my uncle. The Quality Assurance Program (QAP) is the only nationally recognized accreditation program for the Adaptive Mobility Equipment Industry. It is like a testing program that certifies that the product that you are acquiring is bestfit for a handicapped person. The assurance that the QAP provides is very good for a product, such as a wheelchair. The biggest advantage in buying in a NMEDA qualified dealer is that they conduct on site evaluation to custom fit vehicles to your specific needs.

Every time we travel, we are assured that my uncle is safe and sound in our car. It would take more years before my uncle can start to walk again. That was his physical therapist told him. With the NMEDA information and QAP assurance, we know that we are buying the right thing for my uncle's special condition.
