Best car for hauling a wheelchair?
Lunatic Asylum Lier

We need a practical car to haul a wheelchair now. Some type of mini suv type that must sit low to the ground to make it easy for them to get in and out of the car and some type of hatch back to make it easy to load instead of trying to put the wheelchair in the back seat. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated. Looking for something with a good history of dependability too!


Take a look at the Honda Element. I have a friend in a similar situation and this is what they use.

A day-trip with a wheelchair to NYC?
Beamish Accessible Bus, ready for service!

My mom is wheelchair bound, and I would like to take her on a day-trip to NYC. We'd be boarding the Metro-North Railroad at a wheelchair accessible station and arriving in Grand Central.

I was thinking about going to the Museum of Natural History. This is not accessible by wheelchair-friendly subway stations, correct? I assume we would have to take a taxi...

Can any of you suggest some things to do that A) do not require much walking to get to (I must wheel her, she is too weak to wheel herself), and B) are good to do on a day-trip?


i would say you could go to the statue of liberty but the only way i know to get there is by subway and i'm not so sure if they let wheel chairs on. The empire state building is pretty cool or central park.

How can we get medical papers signs for a person with CP?
Another Ride

So my partner needs a doctors signature to apply for rides to work through the disability services bus, as well as to get a handicap parking permit. We went to the medi-center this morning to have them sign the forms for her, and they said that they could not, it had to be someone who was familiar with Monica and her condition.
The problem is that she hasnt been to a doctor in 6 years. She didnt have a steady pediatrician as a child, and her orthopedic surgeon, the only person she saw regularly, has been retired for 10 years and they do not have records from that long ago. We have none of her medical records, either.
So we are stuck at this point. She needs to get the forms signed ASAP. But they are telling us that no one will be able to sign them if she is a new patient, she has to have history.
SHE IS DISABLED. No, she is not in a wheelchair, she has Spastic CP and just has a slight limp, but she has mobility issues and NEEDS ASSISTANCE. No one is willing to help us out.


Perhaps you could find a local orthopedist, or even podiatrist. Sorry your partner's being treated so appallingly. She is lucky to
have you. I have CP myself:)
