If you are not familiar with NMEDA, it stands for National Mobility Equipment Dealer Association. They are non-profit trade association of mobility equipment dealers, manufacturers, driver rehabilitation specialists and other professionals dedicated to expanding opportunities for people with disabilities to drive or be transported in vehicles modified with mobility equipment. In other words, they serve to educate and promote safe driving and transportation for those with disabilities. With over 600 members, each one agrees to follow the safety standards of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and various guidelines set by NMEDA.
NMEDA strives to improve the life of those with disabilities by ensuring they have the freedom to travel safely from Point A to Point B. Whether they can drive themselves or rely on transportation, it doesn’t matter. Everyone is entitled to safe transportation, and luckily there are associations like NMEDA that ensures this.
What is great about NMEDA is that they offer the Quality Assurance Program (QAP). QAP is an accreditation program (not certification) for those in the mobility equipment industry. There are actually States now that require a dealer to attain the accreditation and participate in the program, if they perform any work for Vocational Rehabilitation Programs.
I love that all QAP dealers offer 24 hour local emergency assistance, on-site sales and support . Plus they offer in-person individual evaluations. Chances are you wouldn’t receive this same type of customer service and support if you purchase online through a non NMEDA member.
Do you someone with a disability? If they are looking for a wheelchair van, car, truck, or other mobility equipment, I highly recommend they locate and visit a NMEDA QAP (Quality Assurance Program) Dealer for mobility solutions. People with disabilities deserve freedom, and thankfully NMEDA ensures the quality of that freedom.
I’m sending this link to my friend who has a son in wheelchair. They have a special van already, but it looks old and probably needs some updating!
I think it is fantastic that a company like this is helping those with Disabilities! It is fantastic that they even make vehicles that help those in wheelchairs have a little more independence or at least more options!
How wonderful that this company has reached out like this to those with disabilities. I will pass this along to one of my friends who is in a wheelchair.
I’ll be sharing this!
It’s wonderful to have a company like this that is changing lives for the better!
This is such a wonderful thing this company is doing! Thanks for letting us know!
That is great that there are options available for those with disabilities that would wish to be independent.
Thank you for sharing! Everyone deserves to be treated fairly!
