Affording the purchase of a wheelchair van may seem daunting. The same is true even if you’re only looking to add accessibility or adaptive driving modifications to your van. Don’t worry; there are numerous Texas disability grants and plenty of help finding them for residents. We here at The Mobility Resource want to provide some of that help.
So, we’ve compiled the resource list below. It includes Texas State government agencies and other bodies that either provide disability funds themselves or that assist you in learning about all such financial aid options (and many do both). Reach out to these organizations and networks to discover all the monetary assistance for which you might be eligible.
Also, don’t neglect to contact Texas chapters of national nonprofits and other groups that work with people of your particular disability. You’ll find that many offer their own disability grants and can steer you toward additional funding.
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.
Disclaimer: This information is intended to assist you in your purchase or financing of a wheelchair van, and is in no way an offer or advertisement for a free wheelchair van.
