A lot of people are shocked to learn that I can drive (because I have cerebral palsy). I actually don't use any special modifications, but other people with CP or other disabilities can drive using things like hand controls or other assistive devices. For me, the biggest issue I face is getting my mobility devices in and out of the car. I'm so incredibly excited to be partnering with Subaru to bring awareness to their Mobility Assist program that helps with the financial burden of medically necessary vehicle accessibility modifications. As a consumer, I've been so appreciative of Subaru's inclusive marketing campaigns and give-back initiatives for years. If you're curious about the process of getting a modification added to a car I shared my experience in this video!

I drive, but I have to have everything hand controlled because I can't drive with my feet. That being said, I haven't driven in a long time because the equipment will only go into a certain type of car. I have a question for you, chelsea... Something has been concerning me regarding driving. How does your startle reflex affect your ability to drive safely? How does your start a reflex act when emergency response vehicles approach? Or anything else that might trigger it while driving? B. How do you deal with that? Thanks for sharing Conrad

@@c-rad2419 I can't answer for Chelsea, but for me, it has very little effect. I am assuming you mean startle reflex. I do jump when driving but it has never caused an issue other than embarrassment and loss of pride when people are riding with me. The only time I jump is when a LOUD motorcycle goes through traffic beside me pretty fast with no warning. In that case, I am usually in a bumper-to-bumper situation, so it has no effect in the sense of my jumping being dangerous. Emergency vehicles usually give a block or 2 warning and usually not in a high-speed situation, so they impose no danger with my jumping. Like Chelsea, I use no hand controls, other aiding devices, or other modifications. I do have the option to use a suicide knob, stated on my license, since they are illegal to use for other reasons here in my state, but I haven't used one in 30 years (my 1st vehicle didn't have power steering... Gawd, I miss that vehicle!!! I wish I still had it.).

One of the best Moments one can have is to get a new car and realize that the adaptations work great! I remember how I felt when I finally got a set of hand controls in my 2nd car that really worked for me. I brought the old system with me when I changed car... When an older Mechanic asked me: "You have bought a such beautiful car... do I really have to install that old, ugly crap?" He was so damn right... Not just for the look of it... I drive with electric Gas Potentiometer, combined with a mechanical brake lever, and adapted (duplicatet) controls for indicators and lights... Problemfree for 12 Years with the same controls. Luckily I don't need helps to put the wheelchair in and out of the car. Thanks Chelsea for covering the topic! Sometimes I wonder if we should mark our car (for CP People of Wheelchair Users) to show the world outside that we drive too... and that someone really needs the extra parking spaces... Many thousands miles of great and save trips ahead, Chelsea!

Great choice of vehicle,and yes access has been a winner for the Forester,also the doors open to 70 degrees (they open wider)and then the vision from inside is all-round better than most . I would even suggest that a mobility device could go into the back seat area with a suitable ramp assist device, The only thing that I would ask of the tail lift company is that they make the unlock method be a remote operation so you don't need to try and pull that pin , something to consider. Fantastic that you drive and have mobility,it's a game changer . Enjoy ,be safe ,be happy you deserve that .

In the U.K. we have an organisation called Motability that we can lease cars through. They fitted a hoist to mine for my scooter, a left hand accelerator for my hemiparuplegic wife, steering knobs etc. We do have to pay a significant deposit because we always go for higher spec models, we automatic lights and wipers as well as a few luxuries. So we had to pay £7.5k towards it, but we could have got a lower spec model for zero deposit.

I am surprised that you wanted an external lift being in Florida. I live on other side of country where it doesn't rain for 9 months straight out of the year. But... in Florida it rains pretty often and with your scooter being outside in the elements. In anyways, I am happy for you for your new vehicle, I have a CR-V with the same features, excluding the automatic trunk lift. In which I regret not getting, like you I am very unstable when taking a step back and have fallen and hit my head on the concrete a few times. I just learned to plant my left hand on the back brake light, open the trunk with my right hand from the side and take a sidestep to get out of the way. I hope the lift makes your life a lot easier, one less variable to make you lose your balance and fall.
