Flu Shot Time! Is Your Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle Ready to Take You There?

Don't Believe the Myths, They're Just That. Flu season arrives every year with variations of intensity. This year, the Type A, H3 influenza strain is impacting people of all ages, and specifically in Boston, where 700 cases have been reported compared to 70 at the same time last year. Fortunately, this season’s flu vaccine does cover the H3 strain, so officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continue to urge people to get their flu shot. Have you received a flu shot yet?

Helping First Time Disabled Drivers with Mobility Equipment Master the Road

First time disabled drivers with mobility equipment face unique milestones and considerations when preparing for the road.

Eat Healthy. Be Happy.

Making healthy choices might come with some level of difficulty to people with disabilities, but these choices prove to be far too pertinent to go by the wayside. Selecting the right foods and keeping weight under control remains paramount for people with disabilities, especially those with restrictive mobility. The last thing you’ll want to add to your plate of unhealthy proportions is a side of heart disease, high cholesterol, etc, as a result of poor diet choices.
