    Problems with mobility are major barriers to disability-inclusive development. For people with disabilities, the lack of access to handicap-friendly transportation prevents them from becoming independent. It also interferes with their function in society. A solution to help individuals and families with members who are handicapped is to adapt or modify vehicles to meet the needs of those with physical impairments. Adapted vehicles allow drivers, passengers, and caregivers to get in and out of a car faster and easier. They also encourage independence, offer comfort, and improve convenience.

    Access Improvement

    One of the most common vehicle adaptations is to make it easy for wheelchair users to enter and exit cars and vans. According to reliable cerebral palsy resources, modifying family cars can make it stress-free for parents and caregivers to put a child in a wheelchair in the vehicle without compromising safety. It is also feasible to install a hoist or lift to facilitate loading and unloading. A converted vehicle may fit a wheelchair directly or the individual can transfer to a seat and stow the equipment in the trunk.

    Inside the vehicle, there are seating options that may be available to a person with partial or complete mobility issues. Swivel seats are possible allowing a car seat to turn 90 degrees so that it is facing the door. This feature is helpful for those with hip problems making it easier to sit in the vehicle and turn to the front.

    Driving Controls

    The ability to drive gives a person independence because they can go where and when they want without relying on others or public transportation. Drivers with a handicap or reduced mobility in one or more limbs can make use of different modifications to make driving easier. For example, hand controls can be fitted such as a lever that you can pull to accelerate and push to brake. If you find that pushing and pulling takes too much effort, you can opt for an electronic accelerator. There are different types available to assist drivers with limited mobility such as a trigger, over ring, or ghost ring accelerator. Pedals remain useable as well so that family members or carers can drive the car using the traditional way. In addition, secondary controls for wipers, lights, turn signals, and so on can be installed near the steering wheel for immediate access and operation.

    Vehicle modifications are valuable to people with disabilities. They foster independence enabling individuals to drive with a handicap and make it hassle-free to transport passengers in wheelchairs.
