People with disabilities are like any normal people; they need freedom in everything that they do in terms of mobility. Making them comfortable and safe is important not only for those with disabilities but for their families as well. If you have a member in your family with disability, especially if you are directly involved in providing care for them; I am sure you understand what I am saying. A reliable or dependable mobility vehicle gives the user freedom to move around while lightening up the task for the caregiver, thus, an improved vehicle works for both parties involved – the caregiver and the person with disability.
To make sure you are providing them the best quality transportation services, only buy your mobility vehicles from dealers or manufacturers that are members of the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association or NMEDA. A non-profit trade association, NMEDA is composed of mobility equipment dealers and manufacturers, driver rehabilitation specialists, and other professionals committed to providing people with disabilities with the best options to improved transportation. This is what NMEDA is committed for – to provide people with disabilities more freedom through a safe, dependable and quality transportation. You can also get a vehicle customized to your individual needs. Members recognize the need for people with disabilities to be able to drive or be transported in safe and dependable vehicles modified with mobility equipment. Despite disabilities, freedom through improved transportation has been made possible through NMEDA.
NMEDA members agree to adhere to the safety guidelines set by NMEDA. The Quality Assurance Program (QAP), on the other hand, measures how much a member adheres to these set guidelines and practices on equipment installation and modifications. A member who wants to be accredited has to pass all the standard requirements in the program, which means the member has been certified as adhering to the highest guidelines in the industry.
