UNITE4CRT: CHANGES TO REACH MORE PEOPLE Written by: JENNY SIEGLE AND JEN MENDENHALL
Unite4CRT is changing things up to reach a wider audience and learn more from others who believe Complex Rehabilitation Technology (CRT) is a MUST, not optional. We will now offer our informative discussions in a podcast format that can be listened to at our audience’s convenience. Our mission is to have discussions as we share our lived experiences. Through our discussions we learn, laugh, collaborate and educate each other. Each issue of DIRECTIONS magazine will include a Unite4CRT conversation regarding a CRT topic. Our hosts Jenny Siegle and Jen Mendenhall will share their lived experiences as well as topics from others. If you have any topics you would like to see in our discussions, please send us an email to UnitefourCRT@gmail.com. Please be sure to read the Unite4CRT article in the next DIRECTIONS magazine as we discuss topics such as utilizing caregivers, traveling with adaptive equipment, employment assistance programs available to people with disabilities, etc.

EACH ISSUE OF DIRECTIONS MAGAZINE WILL INCLUDE A UNITE4CRT CONVERSATION REGARDING A CRT TOPIC. We want insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid and the general population to understand our equipment is customized for the individual user and must be funded. Our equipment is essential for independence and opportunities for a happy, healthy life. Essential. Vital. Not Optional.
WHAT IS UNITE4CRT?
OUR BELIEFS
UNITE4CRT is a small group with an extra loud voice. We want the community to appreciate CRT is medically necessary and individually configured equipment. It can be manual wheelchairs, power wheelchair systems, adaptive seating systems, alternative positioning systems and other mobility devices that require evaluation, fitting, configuration, adjustment or programming.
We believe that Mobility is a Human Right.
DIRECTIONS 2023.6
We believe Mobility is Independence. We believe a customized wheelchair seating system is essential. We believe we can influence policy change with OUR VOICE. OUR STORIES.
