Adaptive driving info
One of the main topics we try to deliver on is getting information to the disabled that is not readily available from other sites. To that end we periodically add its to the "Useful Goodies" section of the site. If you haven’t checked this out then we strongly recommend you do. In the mean time here are more places to check out to help:
Adaptive Driving Devices
http://www.sylacaugahandicap.com/adaptive_devices.htm
Shows various adaptive devices for driving a car. It does not include the prices of the devices as pricing depends on the vehicle to be installed in.
Toyota Mobility Program

Most car manufacturers have programs in place to allow the disabled to drive their products. This page shows the various vehicles that can be converted along with special pricing and rebates that are available. Also note that many states will pay to convert a vehicle as long as it is not more than three years old. There are also companies that will sell used vehicles that are already adapted and ready to go. You save money and get a vehicle that already has the equipment you need.
National Mobility Equipment Dealer Association
This site is for consumers and shows all the different programs that are available to the disabled to get them back on the road. Go to the "Consumer" area and click on the "rebate" section to see what is available in your state. Each has its own programs and money available depending on the level of disability. It is best to get paperwork in early in the year because that is when everyone has their new budget. The sooner you get in line the better chance you have of getting the funding you need to get in that new vehicle or to convert the minivan or other small vehicle.
