• Personal Mobility

For many disabled people, independence and mobility can only be effectively achieved by the use of a private car or van, which may need adaptation to meet individual needs. There is a wide variety of adaptations on the market, such as hand controls, swivel seats, wheelchair hoists, steering adaptations etc.

A network of 17 mobility centres provides driving assessments and advice for disabled people, including factsheets on vehicle adaptations. These services can be accessed via the Forum of Mobility Centres using the link below.
