This guide is a section of US company Mobility Works 7 Steps to Adapted Vehicle funding. The funding part of this brochure is US based and not of use to Canadians; however, the Getting Started Guide is an excellent resource for people considering purchasing an adapted vehicle. This section covers many useful topics that should be considered before making a final decision on a vehicle purchase.
Topics to consider include whether the wheelchair user will be the driver or passenger, wheelchair type and dimensions, where the vehicle will typically be parked (and size of parking areas), whether the person can transfer into the vehicle or if they need a ramp or a lift, budget, etc.
