This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.
In my previous post, I kept whining about waking up so early to attend a special care training that is needed for my present job. Now I realized that I did not lose anything but a few hours of sleep and gained a tremendous amount of information from our trainer, who is a very nice lady. She discussed about getting to know children/adult with disabilities (which I prefer to call them people with special needs), building relationships with their families, and how to include people with special needs in daily activities.
The last topic that I mentioned above is what hit me most because some people who have physical limitations tend to just exclude themselves from the world, which unfortunately, should not be the case. There are certain trainings, special services, and equipment that they can use for them to have more freedom and independence. Let say for example, they need wheelchairs, or vehicles with modified mobility equipment, they can rely on NMEDA(National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association).
NMEDA members (dealers) are dedicated people who made sure that they strictly adhere to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and NMEDA safety policies and guidelines. These members, who went through an NMEDA accreditation called Quality Assurance Program or QAP, are the ones who sell high quality mobility equipments, handicap vans and will do vehicle modifications for disabled people. QAP is given to dealers to make sure that they meet the guidelines in accordance to motor vehicle safety standards.
NMEDA by the way does not sell anything to consumers. They are a non-profit trade association of mobility equipment dealers and driver rehabilitation specialists. NMEDA is there for you to help you get the right equipment or vehicles that fits your daily life and needs. They sure will make you and your family’s life easier.
If you think you need NMEDA, check out their website and enter your zip code to see the dealers closest to you. I did and found at least five in my area.
