What do these include?

• Medical rehabilitation: Medical rehabilitation for persons with disabilities refers to a set of health-related services aimed at helping individuals become medically fit after the onset of a disability. This also includes training on how to properly use their assistive devices and may even cover costs to improve access to therapy.
• Assistive devices: These devices help people with disabilities do everyday activities more easily and independently. This includes wheelchairs, artificial limbs, orthosis, walkers, walking sticks or crutches.
• House modification services: House modification services involve making changes to a house to make it easier, safer and more comfortable for people with disabilities to live in. Through this appeal, UMN will support modifications to homes and toilets, specifically for active wheelchair users. This will ensure access to key areas of their homes, including the bedroom, kitchen, toilet, water facilities and yard. UMN contributes 50% of the cost for these modifications, while the remaining amount is covered by the participant’s family.
