NMEDA on the Road to Mobility Independence

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Moving around with your own car is easy but for those who have difficulties moving around might rather be challenging most especially when living alone. The top priority of buying a car or any vehicle is not how it looks but how it functions for quality is a must for transportation. Empowering through actively supporting individual members engaged in the modification of quality transportation for people with disabilities and widening the opportunities for them is the main goal of the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) which was originally formed in Florida as an organization of mobility equipment dealers in 1989. NMEDA is a non-profit group of mobility equipment dealers, driver rehabilitation specialists, and other professionals dedicated to enhance transportation options of people with disabilities. Their members are required to stick to the safety standards of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

NMEDA has dealers and Quality Assurance Program (QAP) dealers. The latter is the only nationally recognized accreditation program for the Adaptive Mobility Equipment Industry. This is particularly based on the principle that in order to satisfy customers consistently, companies must have a systematic and documented approach to quality in order to further promote safety and reliability within the industry. Moreover, when you specifically need additional training or product refinements, your NMEDA dealer is always there to assist you. This is not only for people with disabilities but also for those elderly who always wants to be independent. Surely, your nearest NMEDA dealers could help you choose the right mobility vehicle for you. Perhaps you are also a caregiver or a family who always wants to have a mobility vehicle for your patient or love one, your nearest NMEDA dealer is eager to serve you. The NMEDA dealers (members) are the ones who sell handicap vans and vehicle modifications for disabled people.

Practicum with Lexmark?

Today my brother’s really hoping to have his practicum with Lexmark for they called him up this morning. I’m so happy for him and now he’s so optimistic about passing the interview. However, he’s quite worried for they said that the practicumers there will just be requested to do some photocopying and other papers works. I strongly agree that he really needs to do his OJT with a supervised hand-on so he could apply what he has been learning maximizing the use of all his learned skills and knowledge. Well in the end, it’s all up to God. Come what may, he said with confidence. Smiles.
