Adaptive Equipment for People with Disabilities Appeal
Able Management Group
Email kate.fenwick74@gmail.com
We are collecting funds so that we can help people with disabilities to get active outdoors in the beautiful alpine high country and enjoy its benefits just like able-bodied people. We help people with all sorts of disabilities including: paraplegics, quadriplegics, amputees, people who have MS, Cerebral Palsy, people who are blind or vision impaired.
Some of the benefits of providing people with disabilities with opportunities to participate are:
- increased self esteem, social interaction and independence
- a sense of belonging and inclusiveness
- rehabilitation
- respite
How will these funds be used?
We will be using the funds to help purchase items of adaptive equipment. Adaptive equipment allows people with disabilities to participate. It has been purpose-built for people with disabilities. Often this makes it considerably more expensive than the equivalent pieces of equipment designed for able-bodied people.
Key Areas of Expenditure
Aerochute - A powered parachute that people with disabilities can learn to fly $20,000
4-wheel mountain bike - A mountain bike designed for people with disabilities to experience the thrill of downhill mountain biking $10,000
Ski Equipment:
- Sit ski - A device which allows paraplegics and quadriplegics to ski sitting down - $8,000
- A set of Stand-Ups - for people with cerebral palsy who need assistance to ski upright - $2,500
- Blind Skier Equipment - Including skier bibs, radio headsets to enable vision-impaired people to ski - $2000
