What lies in the future

I've always wondered about Lyca's future. Only this week, I've seen a young man with cerebral palsy walking on the sidewalk. Although he looked pitiful because of his abnormal gait, at least he could walk, and I wished Lyca could do that too, someday. But looking at the situation in another perspective, he could be prone to road accidents. He could get to a place faster with the help of a motorized wheelchair maybe.

And then today, I've read more about NMEDA or National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association, the organization that can help families get the right equipment for a disabled family member. This organization doesn't sell equipments, it is affiliated with dealers or NMEDA members who sell handicap vans and vehicle modifications for disabled people. Isn't that awesome? An organization is focused on looking after the vehicle or equipment needs of the disabled.

NMEDA also has Quality Assurance Program (QAP) dealers. The Quality Assurance Program (QAP) is the only nationally recognized accreditation program for the Adaptive Mobility Equipment Industry. It is based on the principle that in order to satisfy customers consistently, companies must have a systematic and documented approach to quality.

I can now imagine what Lyca's future can be like. Whether she would walk on her own or not, it won't really matter. NMEDA can help us choose the dealer with the right equipment for her. It is not easy to take care of a special needs child because it could be depressing at times. We, the people taking care of Lyca would like to try our best to make her less dependent someday, but there were times it seemed hopeless. Just recently though, I've seen more facilities in the U.S. that will help Lyca improve. I guess we need to push through with that plan to go there. And I'm just glad that there's an organization that can educate us to buy Lyca's future equipments from a qualified dealer.
