Modified power chair Em's been practicing on.

We're getting Emily fitted for a Permobil power chair, so in the meantime she's been driving this make-shift chair at her elementary school. She LOVES it... and she is quite good. They are short on different types of driving switches, but she doesn't mind b/c she doesn't know otherwise.

Anyway, I don't recall the details right now, but you are looking at a TumbleForm secured on a power char with a couple of adaptive switches for going forward and turning Right. The reason she needs the TumbleForm is b/c the chair does not tilt or recline for proper seeting for Emily. It's a great rig for her to practice. So, we're praying that our insurance company will not makes our lives to difficult in the process of ordering the right chair for her. They are notorious for rejecting the notion that Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Type I kids even have the ability to drive. They typically do not feel it is in their best interest to potentially spend tens of thousands of dollars on mobility for kids like Emily. We will FIGHT though, and I am preparing for battle.
