Adaptive Equipment

Adaptive Equipment Can be Confusing

The adaptive equipment available to you can be confusing and overwhelming and you may not be even sure what you need.

When you work with Susie at Adaptive Mobility, you will get recommendations for the adaptive equipment you need. You’ll be able to try the tools to discover what works best for you and then Susie will help you navigate your state licensing and write the prescription for the specific equipment you need to purchase.

Once you have your equipment, Susie will check in with you to make sure you like it and are happy.

She isn’t selling the equipment to you, she is there helping you find the right fit.

Hand Controls

Hand controls allow the driver to operate both the brake and gas pedal using levers that are typically mounted below the steering wheel and attach to the pedals themselves.

Steering Devices

Steering devices are apparatuses attached to the vehicle steering wheel to permit safe operation and aid in turning the steering wheel for drivers who must steer with one hand. It allows them to remain in contact with the steering wheel at all times.
