ABOUT LAZAREHAB
Children and teenagers with disabilities or clinical conditions often face significant challenges when it comes to safe and comfortable transportation. An adequate postural support is crucial for these young passengers to prevent further health complications, provide comfort, and ensure safety during travel. Unfortunately, many families struggle with the following issues:
-
Lack of Access to Specialized Equipment: Many children and teenagers require specialized car seats or other equipment to support their posture and ensure their safety while traveling. These items are not always covered by insurance or government funding, making them inaccessible to many families.
-
Cost of Adapted Vehicles: A wheelchair-adapted vehicle can be a considerable expense, often out of reach for many families. These vehicles require significant modifications to accommodate wheelchairs and other equipment, leading to high costs.
-
Limited Funding: Financial support for obtaining the necessary equipment and adaptations is often insufficient. Government programs and insurance plans may provide some assistance, but the coverage is rarely comprehensive, leaving families to bear the brunt of the costs.
-
Awareness and Availability: There is often a lack of awareness about the available options for safe transportation. Families might not know what specialized equipment exists or where to find it.
-
Emotional and Psychological Impact: The stress and financial burden of securing the right equipment and vehicle adaptations can take a toll on families. This can affect the overall well-being of both the children and their caregivers.​
​

These include advocacy for better funding and insurance coverage, raising awareness about the importance of proper posture support next to families and health professionals, and increasing the availability of specialized equipment that will meet fully children's clinical needs.
