People who are destined to spend the rest of their lives confined to a wheelchair will always need assistance when it comes to traversing sets of stairs,

                                       be they in a residence, office building or outdoors. By federal law, small to mid-sized business cannot discriminate against wheel chair bound job

                                       applicants and employers are required to make reasonable accommodation(s) for their disabled employees.

                                       Here is an example for you to know the stair climbing wheelchair. Cathy Siders says her adult son, Erik Williams, hasn’t left their rural Cedar County

                                       home for anything but doctor’s visits and emergencies in nearly two years. The problem is steep stairs leading to the ground level of the two story home

                                       and no wheelchair ramp access for loading into a vehicle.

                                       But recently, she got some hope that more mobility will be an option soon. Despite cerebral palsy, epilepsy and other serious health problems, 30-year-

                                       old Erik can maneuver his own wheelchair in the home he shares with his mother. But when it comes time to try to leave the home, it’s a much more

                                       involved process. External stair lifts provide you peace of mind that a safe solution is in place when there is no alternative stair accessibility option available.

                                       We have external stair lifts with a seated option or those that transform into a wheelchair carrier. Older buildings often have narrow or curved stairs and

                                       small landings that may struggle to accommodate a stair lift. Our Yack range is compact in design to suit small spaces. Especially great for residential

                                       properties and curved Stair Cases. The external stair lift doesn’t rely on a permanent fixture or require adaption to your property, venue or business.

                                       Staircases pose different accessibility obstacles depending on how the rest of a particular building is structured. In some homes, for example, the main

                                       staircase has a curve to it, making the issue more complicated than just a straight up-and-down journey.

                                       Even if the chair lift issue is cleared up, Siders says the family would still need help with a wheelchair ramp that would allow access to a vehicle. She’s

                                       been in touch with the Tipton Lion’s Club about that and one club organizer told TV9 someone will go out to look at the project soon to see if the

                                       Lions can help out.
