Living with special needs or with a certain disability can make the simplest task seem very hard, and that is not just for the person inflicted but for those involved such as close family and friends. Special needs equipment can greatly enhance a persons quality of life and can also restore dignity, a true sense of pride, and that is not leaving out independence which is very important.
At home, adjustable beds can be really beneficial for raising the head and feet especially with rails to help with stability. A person having problems with walking up and down the staircase can use stair lifts that attach to the staircase with pretty much smooth transition. Wheelchair and scooter users can benefit from ramps fitted to the home making entering and exiting a lot easier.
Special needs/disability equipment can greatly improve ones mobility in the form of motorised wheelchairs (and of course normal wheelchairs) and specialty scooters, special lift raises on wheelchairs and vehicles equipped with lift ramps for easy access.
These days when it comes to travel, just about all commercial airplanes and cruise ships are adapted to suit the special needs person in the form of wheelchairs, walkers and canes (cruise ships). Airplanes are adapted in the form of space for wheelchairs and rails in the bathroom. With most cruise lines, systems are available such as Deaf and impaired hearing In cabin visual-tactile alert systems, these are available on request. When it comes to elevators on cruise ships, most have braille on their menus.
Grant is passionate about providing special needs equipment and information about special needs/disabled persons. The subject is close to me because I live with a down syndrome child and often think about ways to make it easier for him and my wife (who is Jacob's mother). I would very much like to see special needs equipment grow and expand and learn a bit along the way, you can read about it here: Special needs equipment
