Being that I need to get to work everyday and I have no adaptive van yet a motorized wheelchair that can come apart to fit into an SUV would make life with CP so much easier
*The fold up motorized wheelchair must support people's seating needs. It requires the use of a support system of hard seat and back mounted on the wheelchair base. A headrest fixed on a firm backrest is also required for transport safety.

Disabled World has kept a list of "famous people navigating Cerebral Palsy" since 2008. Of the 24 listed, 22 are alive now. That means since the beginning of time, the number of people recorded who have successfully navigated cerebral palsy is smaller than the number of people on a high school football team.

Disabled World has kept a list of "famous people navigating Cerebral Palsy" since 2008. Of the 24 listed, 22 are alive now. That means since the beginning of time, the number of people recorded who have successfully navigated cerebral palsy is smaller than the number of people on a high school football team. A full-length documentary needs to be made to firmly establish role models for this disability - injecting hope and inspiration.
The following unifying questions need to be asked:
* Who were your role models?
* Why do you think you've been successful?
* What barriers did you face?
* What advice do you have to young children navigating cerebral palsy?
* What was your greatest accomplishment?
* How would you like to be remembered?
* What were the key milestones in your journey vis-à-vis cerebral palsy?
Numerous audiences would benefit from this compilation of success stories. However, it is my aim to get this video in the hands of those giving the cerebral palsy diagnosis -- the doctors. If doctors could give this documentary to parents at the point of diagnosis, the maximum benefit will be realized.

I'm a disabled man with CP from Turkey. when I use motorized wheelchair, charge is big problem for us. For that reason, I want a motorized wheelchair with solar-powered. So we can go freely anywhere without worrying about the battery running out. Either way, wheel chair, ran out of energy to use anywhere.
In my opinion, when this project is put in practice, an important problem for us disabled people will be solved.
