C. State Financing Activities that Allow Consumers to Obtain AT at Reduced Cost

1. Overview of Activities Performed

How many state financing activities that allow consumers to obtain AT at a reduced cost were included in your approved state plan? 0

D. Anecdote

The goal of downhill longboarding is speed and nothing but speed. To call it extreme is an understatement. Derrick, a resident of southwest Missouri, was hooked on the sport when he first tried it in 2011. Three years later, Derrick experienced a spinal cord injury that left him with paralysis of the legs when he hydroplaned, missed a turn, and collided head-on with a truck. Undeterred, Derrick set his mind to returning to the sport he loved. In need of an accessible vehicle to get to competitions, Derrick was able to secure funding for an accessible vehicle through MoAT’s financial loan program. The pinnacle of Derrick’s success thus far occurred this summer when he won first place in the adaptive longboard competition at EkstremSportVeko, the largest action sports competition in the world.

A wheelchair accessible van can mean the difference between freedom and limitations. The cost of adapted vans – often upwards of $60,000 – can be a significant hindrance to individuals being able to obtain one. Despite considerable hard work in raising funds and obtaining a vehicle loan, Zamyen’s mother was still short in her quest to purchase an accessible vehicle for the family. When mom reached out to MoAT for support and resources, she learned about the Kids Assistive Technology Program (KAT) through which she was able to obtain the remaining funding that at last allowed the family to obtain an accessible vehicle. Through grit, determination and an assist from MoAT’s Kids Assistive Technology Program, The Boston family is now able to hit the road together.
