Bob works at a non-profit afterschool program for elementary school students in the Okanagan. He is a C5 complete quadriplegic, and he uses a wheelchair.
He needed a new adapted van that he could drive to work when he heard about WorkBC Assistive Technology Services from friends that had gotten support through the program.
“The program assisted me with the purchase of a new wheelchair accessible van. By covering the conversion portion of the van, [it] made it financially accessible to replace my old failing van,” he says.
“I am now able to get to work reliably and participate in other meetings, trainings, and activities with work.”
Bob is grateful for the service he received.
“[I] would just like to thank everybody involved with Assistive Technology Services for their help and guidance through the process,” he shares.
“I would definitely recommend the Assistive Technology Services program to others that are needing help getting back to work.”
WorkBC Assistive Technology Services is operated by Neil Squire. Assistive Technology Services are available to individuals who have a work-related barrier due to a disability or a functional limitation. This may include barriers related to traveling to and from the workplace.
