"mobility device" definitions
From DREDF (Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund) here is an interesting discussion of proposed definitions Of "Wheelchair" And "Other Power-Driven Mobility Devices
http://www.dredf.org/DOJ_NPRM/mobility_devices.shtml This link takes you to a more comprehensive discussion of ADA issues. http://www.dredf.org/DOJ_NPRM/DREDF_...OJ_NPRM_08.pdf Since the current administration suspended the proposed (scheduled?) review of such issues, these documents are no longer fully relevant but still worth a look through.

It is important to see both parts of this. Below you will find the DRAFT comments.
http://www.draft.org/LinkClick.aspx?...bid=75&mid=432 K This is not new news here as we are in contact with the DOJ on a very regular basis. Yes, there was a temporary postponement of all matters of the Civil Rights Division until a new head was appointed. I would not say that this issue and the comments made during the period of public comment are not relevant . Link to the NPRM. http://www.ada.gov/NPRM2008/ADAnprm08.htm And so it goes. The wheels of justice move at their own pace, but we have been working on this daily and hope to see a decision , one way or another, in the near future . Be Big, AMAC
