NMEDA promotes safe driving & equipment for disabled people

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

One thing disabled people are deprived of is their capacity to travel even alone or with their love ones. Usually they are confined within their homes or in an institution that deprive them on their freedom to travel places, enjoy life and be happy. Boredom is one thing that usually felt by people with disabilities and that make them even harder to accept and move on with life with their incapacities.

NMEDA is the answer. What is NMEDA and what they can do for people with disabilities? NMEDA stands for National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association which is a non-profit trade association. They are known internationally as an organization dedicated to ensuring quality and professionalism in the manufacturing and installation of safe and reliable mobility equipment in vehicles for people with disabilities. The association does not sell anything. It promotes safe driving and equipment for disabled people.

NMEDA dealers (members) are the ones selling handicap vans and vehicle modifications for disabled people. They are required to adhere to the safety standards of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and to follow the association’s guidelines as a member. Also, QAP or the Quality Assurance Program is the only nationally recognized accreditation program for the Adaptive Mobility Equipment Industry. It was developed to promote quality, safety and reliability within the industry based on the principle that in order to satisfy customers consistently, companies must have a systematic and documented approach to quality. Thus in some states, there’s a requirement for dealer’s participation in the QAP to perform work for the Vocational Rehabilitation Program.

The needs and preferences of disabled people vary. To get assistance from a qualified NMEDA dealer just visit nmeda.org and hit the dealer’s locator, type in your ZIP code and see the qualified dealer near you.
