Need help with adapting a car for a disabled driver?

If you are or have a disabled person in your life who drives, then you should definitely check out NMEDA.  They are a non-profit trade associate that educates consumers on buying products from a NMEDA qualified dealer, they don’t actually sell anything!  As a non-profit, their members are required to adhere to the safety standards of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.  NMEDA members are the ones who sell handicap vans and vehicle modifications for disabled people. 

NMEDA has both dealers (members) and Quality Assurance Program dealers.  A NMEDA dealer will help get the right driving solution customized to the user’s specific lifestyle and needs.  They offer a personalized “in-person” evaluation since no two people with a disability are exactly the same.  The Quality Assurance Program (QAP) is the only nationally recognized accreditation program for the Adaptive Mobility Equipment Industry.  It is based on the principle that to satisfy customers consistently, companies must have a systematic and documented approach to quality. 

My aunt is a caregiver for my grandma and it is tough.  I know if my grandma was more in a position to drive herself that she would do anything to get back behind the wheel.  By talking to a NMEDA dealer you  could find out whets possible and affordable, without any crazy sales pitches.  You can visit the nmeda.org website, hit the dealers locator button and type in your zip code to see if there is a qualified dealer near you.
