What we Do - Mission | How we do It | Why Quadriplegics - Beliefs

Who We Serve

Most Inclusive Inc clients utilize power wheelchairs while struggling to use tools with buttons, levers, knobs, and handles in a world designed for humans: two dexterous hands with 10 fingers. A quadriplegic's opportunities for travel, communications, recreation, education, and employment are severely limited simply due to products and services being designed for typical humans with two hands, 10 fingers, who can walk. This problem is easily solved: products and services designed for the needs of their users: quadriplegics. The challenge is volume for a niche market size.

"Quadriplegics" includes all those with limited use of fingers, hands, or arms caused by: Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) tetraplegia, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, Lou Gehrig's disease or ALS, some brain injuries, lime's disease, and bilateral amputees. Our solutions can also greatly improve the lives of many others: paraplegics, stroke, brain injury, spina bifida, cancer, and the elderly.
