Item Spotlight
Redwood applied to the Toyota program and was thrilled to receive adapted vehicles to be used with our childcare and pediatric therapy clients. These vehicles have been modified to operate with a mechanical switch on the steering wheel, and have postural supports for children with positioning needs. A number of current Redwood pediatric clients also applied to the program and received customized adapted vehicles for use at home.
