๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’™ Why You Might Need a Handicap Placard ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿš—

Struggling with mobility, chronic pain, or recovering from surgery? A handicap placard can make life SO much easier! ๐ŸŒŸ

โœ… Park closer to entrances
โœ… Skip the long walk when youโ€™re in pain or out of breath
โœ… Access wider spaces for wheelchairs or walkers
โœ… Stay independent & safe on the go

Whether itโ€™s a permanent condition or temporary recovery, a placard helps you live life with less stress.

๐ŸŽ‰โ‰ WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE โ‰๐ŸŽ‰

We asked our team members what their favorite piece of adaptive equipment is to recommend to their customers. Here is Ashley's response!

"The CAR CANE! It can be so difficult to get in and out of cars these days, especially as we get older and our cars get smaller! You just quickly hook it into the side of the car door and push up on it to help lift yourself up. Plus, it's small enough to store in your glove box or center console. A great and affordable invention that a lot folks haven't heard of."

๐ŸŽ‰โ‰ WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE โ‰๐ŸŽ‰

We asked our team members what their favorite piece of adaptive equipment is to recommend to their customers. Here is Bri's response!

"My favorite type of adaptive equipment falls under the category of mobility aids (walker, cane, etc.) Functional mobility is an ADL and it is also how people access other occupations. For people that need added stability, a mobility aid is a great way to improve occupational participation and engagement."
