Maybe you’re preparing to shop for a used or new wheelchair van in Wyoming. Or, perhaps you’ve been looking into your options for vehicle accessibility equipment and modifications. You’ve probably realized already that there are lots of possibilities, from different types of lifts and ramps to pivoting automotive seating systems to adaptive driving controls. Whether you want to lease, buy or get conversions installed, you probably landed on this page because you’re trying to figure out how to afford what you need.
Ending up here was good luck. Here at the Mobility Resource, we kicked into research mode and discovered the following State departments and other groups that assist state residents with the search for a handicap van. Some award Wyoming disability grants, while others share their extensive knowledge to steer you toward appropriate sources of financial aid. They’ll even tell you about potential monetary assistance you probably wouldn’t find out about on your own.
Additionally, interact with people at Wyoming-based branches of associations and charitable groups that deal specifically with your cause of mobility limitations. They often award disability grants to people with financial need, and they can also teach you about further options.
Mobility Consultations: If you are unsure about what type of conversion would be best for you — or would like assistance with finding financial resources, you can request a Free Needs Analysis and Mobility Consultation at any of The Mobility Resource dealer locations.
