My father in law's doctor would not approve a scooter until he had some PT (and complied with it). I'd call insurance directly. Some plans say you can have a certain number of sessions. Others say you can have as much OT as you can squeeze into a pe…
Obviously if someone goes to a store and writes a checkm they can get what they want.
If they are working through insuance, then their doctor will be involved in the process. If they are covered under Medicare, it is common practice (and required in…
Those ground effects with leds are pretty cool. I'm going to suggest it to my friend with a power wheelchair who drives in the dark with no lights -- I couldn't believe that power wheelchairs usually don't have lights. Isn't it obvious that at some…
Hi Gene,
That is cool what you guys are doing with upbeat photos -- I got inspired.

Wow, what a powerful story.
I'm new to the disability world, having setup a mobility scooter website, and these stories help me understand the types of challenges people on wheels face and how I might be able to make a difference.

thanks so much for joining the disabilityresourceexchange.com I really appreciate it feel free to introduce yourself by writing a blog post or starting a forum or group discussion.

I would love a group where women could talk about their disabilities. If you were born with, or had an accident, or living with a chronic pain of some sort. Developed MS. Anything you want to talk about you can do it here. Even Family members....
Hi, I have problems with the educational system. When I was in school they told my mom I had no IQ and I was mentally retarded and could never learn. They also told my mom to put me away in a mental hospital which she did. I am only blind. But I gue…
