Recently I had the opportunity to work with a wheelchair van dealership. Unfortunately, I was selling our wheelchair accessible Chrysler minivan after my daughter Helen died in April. The manager was telling me that his company is growing by leaps and bounds and that he would have no problem reselling the minivan to a family in need. He said his typical customer would be a family that wanted to get their parents around easier and faster. With the aging population more and more families are buying these vans. Ironically, the accessible car dealer shared with me his concern that before long he may go out of business. Why would a firm that is growing like gangbusters be worried? He anticipated car manufacturers will want a share in this market. So if his prediction holds, the option to add accessibility to a van would become mainstream in typical car dealerships, and modification wheelchair van specialists will become obsolete. "Typical" car dealerships in the future will simply add an option for a lift through the manufacturer eliminating the middle man. I foresee a time when the same will hold true for home builders. Accessible modifications will be necessary, but when a home is built, savvy builders will just show potential buyers the plans with modifications for wheelchair accessibilty eliminating the need for architects that specialize in modifying new homes.
