- Tamara Mena, a communications major, shows how she modified her car for wheelchair access. This design was given to her by her close friend and mentor, Earl. The design uses minimal modification of an auto with rear hinged doors. see sci-peers.org/peers
Tamara, thank you very much for adding to the knowledge for spinal cord victims. You are awesome! I'm a quad and I appreciate seeing different ways to adapt. God bless, David
That is very cool. I am disabled, and like your setup. Thumbs up to you and your friend for helping you. That was very nice of him.
Hi Tamara, I'm from the Bay Area and I saw your story over the internet, you are a true beauty, keep it up
Video does an excellent job of showing how adaptations need to be specific to the person who uses them! I think sometimes able bodied people think that all disabled people with similar disabilities need same accommodations.
God bless you. Great attitude and example to others. Excellent video.
I am physically challenged person.. I have Celerio VXI AMT - attached ARAI approved hand control kit for Break and Accelerator.(Thanks to M.S.Khan, Deccan Motors, TS) I had driving in Yercaud, Ooty, Valparai(25%), Topslip and Maruthamalai... Very good experience in hill driving with Celerio attached your hand control Kit Sir... Thanks a lot...................for all helping..inspiring people like u
Tamara has anyone told you that you are awesome✨ Thank you for sharing it's extremely helpful and I also saw something on CZcams called the xl motorized transfer board which would help you immensely, along with the speedy lift for your chair. Thank you thank you thank you 💕
Nice job Tamara.Good luck in your career.Hopefully more automakers will see the need for more accessible vehicles.
LOVE YOUR video thank you for putting yourself out for all to judge.Those that are not in a wheelchair and have negative things to say, hush and go away.
I love this set up.
OMG look at that smile. She's adorable.
hi tam,,,,,,being a wheelchair guy ,, i am very very impressed with your ability to do what you do,, great job,, i wish you the best ,, larry
Great technique. Good to see other methods.
I just bought the same car. Thank u so much. I love the back doors also. Yaaasssss thank u.
Such a beautiful and inspiring girl😍wish u the best!xoxo
I was going around youtube and came across your video. I actually drive a saturn s2 3 door coupe. Being able to transfer into the driver seat and pulling the chair is life changing. Its a shame saturn is out of business because they make driving for the disabled so much easier. My bf came up w this idea when we were talking about me regaining indepenece. I can now drive. that 3rd door allows me to do that. :)
Parabéns!
Smart set-up!
Hi I am also a paraplegic a T5 - T6 spinal cord injury and I also drive and how I get in and out of the car I use a transfer board and that allows me to slide from the wheelchair to the driver's seat, that's a wonderful video and you are a inspiration to us all, u go girl❗!❗!❗👍🏾🤩🥳🕺💃😘
I'm a T-12 L1-L2, the Mazda 5 has a nice suicide door as well. You can take out the back seat behind the driver and add the same strap to the suicide door to shut it and you're good to go with a set of hand controls. Simple super easy mod for anyone out there looking.
