Disabled Adventures!

I like to think that I stretch the boundaries of what can be done in a wheel chair, well at least I used to until I ran across this young man in Maine! This is incredible stuff. I guess we all face at least some self imposed limits. Go Enock G! Makes me think thatContinue reading “Disabled Adventures!”

I Posted a Silly Video Demo Of my Accessible Van Some Weeks Ago: This Piece is Much Better

Flipping through my Google alerts, I came upon this piece by Max Gravenstein: How to find a used wheelchair van. Hats off to you, Max, this piece puts my effort to shame.

The wheel chair did not enhance the enjoyment, I tell you. I needed a solution. I built with my own two hands, from the comfort ofContinue reading “Easy Backyard Access”

Maxime Rolls up to the Beach!

Maxime has taken advantage of a plastic mat to facilitate his access to the beach. I had the same fabulous experience many years ago in Wilmette, Illinois. This an example of a very low-tech, low-price, high impact adaptation. Anyone in a chair who has struggled in the sand would appreciate this simple accommodation. I haveContinue reading “Maxime Rolls up to the Beach!”
