Every year at this time, I reflect on how Active Mobility Center and our Country's Independence Day have much in common. For many people with walking impairments, it is a time to celebrate; as not to long in our history, people with mobility impairments were left inside their homes and were not felt as EQUAL. Their impairment left them "Disabled" or "Invalids" and were looked down upon.
With the passing of the ADA, Americans with Disabilities Act, in 1990; the world has literally opened up doors, improved access, and increased independence for all.
Active Mobility Center, in 1992, opened its doors to ALL people with Mobility Impairments, with the goal to maximize their abilities, and to Make Every Day Independence Day ! It may sound like a corny expression, but each and every day, our experienced staff listen to our customers, gain knowledge and understanding of what their obstacles are and offer solutions with equipment, or with recommendations to other professionals within our community.
Through Equipment; wheelchairs, scooters, powered wheelchairs, gait trainers, walkers, bicycles, and handcycles; we are allowing people to stand and be equal. We believe it is our duty, to ensure that all have access to mobility allowing everyone to be MOBILE, INDEPENDENT and FREE.
From all of us at Active Mobility Center, Happy 4th, !
