Examples: This tablet will help my child communicate and participate in the classroom. The communication barrier is preventing him from showing what he knows and engaging with his classmates. | Having an adaptive stroller would make running errands easier for our family. Her wheelchair works great for long periods of time, but it can be time-consuming to get the chair loaded into the car just to run to the grocery store. | A power chair will enable me to be more independently mobile. I would be able to go where I wanted on my own schedule. | A hand bike will allow me to improve my strength and cardio fitness. I want to focus on my personal health goals.
