Personal Accommodation Supports for Wheelchair User with Computer Desk to Maintain Job

 

Kip Luna is the business administrator with the Smile Center in Albuquerque. He relies on computer use to do spreadsheets and word process. In order for him to do his job effectively while using a wheelchair due to a spinal chord injury, his employer (Dr. Frank Montoya) set up a desk station accommodating for the wheelchair height. NM-DVR (Kathy Ritz, Counselor) with Adelante (Scott Segner and Bill Newroe) developed and set up personal accommodations on the desk for Kip to access computer and print-related job information.
