  1. ACCESSIBLE VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS: A GUIDE FOR PEOPLE WITH MOBILITY CHALLENGES www.accessautomobility.com.au

  2. INTRODUCTION With the advent of technology, disability support devices and modifications have evolved greatly over the years. With the aid of today's technology, disabled people can accomplish a lot more with devices that compensate for their disabilities or help them to accomplish tasks that seem impossible. One area where there has been significant success is in modified driving solutions, which allow people with disabilities to manage motor vehicles freely. Being able to drive independently is a highly important step for anyone living with a disability because it opens up a whole new world of possibilities for them, such as greater career chances. There is a vast range of vehicle modifications available to accommodate different types of disability. Let's look at a few of them now.

  3. WHEELCHAIR ACCESS VEHICLE (WAV) MODIFICATIONS Modification to vehicles are typically designed to make them easier to use for passengers in wheelchairs. The modifications made are designed to help people in wheelchairs, their families and caregivers, live better. Vehicles can be equipped with motorised wheelchair ramps that fold up neatly once they've been used. Modifications can allow wheelchair users to also be positioned as front passengers or drivers, so they don't have to sit at the rear of the vehicle. There are also automated wheelchair hoists, which enable a wheelchair to be quickly hoisted and stored on top of the vehicle, as well as removed down. A hoist has the advantage of being a less invasive adaptation than a ramp because it does not require the removal of chairs to accommodate it. It also implies that, with the proper modifications, there should be few to no barriers to a wheelchair user gaining unrestricted access to a motor vehicle.

  4. Hand-controlled acceleration and braking • Persons with disabilities such as amputees, paralysis, and other disabilities hindered from using foot pedals can operate a vehicle independently by using hand controls. • Spinning knobs • Spinner knobs look and operate similarly to the knobs seen on steering wheels of large semi-trailers or forklifts, allowing for a tighter turning circle. These basic and discreet technologies can make a significant difference for drivers with disabilities who find it difficult to use a regular steering wheel. • Walking rails • Walking barriers are another modest improvement that significantly improves the quality of life for disabled divers. Installed along the upper edge of the car's sides, the rails integrate flawlessly with the rest of the vehicle's design and provide the additional assistance that a disabled driver might need when operating their vehicle. • Indicator/horn switches • Drivers with disabilities can also access the horn and indicator controls by modifying the location of those controls.

  5. MAINTAINING YOUR MODIFIED VEHICLE Modified vehicles require similar maintenance to other vehicles, however their custom features may require additional considerations. Regular servicing is essential since failures can be more than simply inconvenient; they can also impair your freedom and mobility. Always work with a professional for Disability Vehicle Modifications in Central Coast who knows and can properly repair your modifications.
