Independence for Wheelchair Users with Upper Extremity Limitations to
Live Your Life! We develop and deliver unique, innovative, and cost effective independent living solutions for the mobility impaired, disabled, or handicapped with an intimate understanding being disabled ourselves. We serve those limited by quadriplegia, tetraplegia, cerebral palsy, Lou Gehrig's disease or ALS, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, brain injury, etc.
Who We Serve
Broadened Horizons' clients often utilize power wheelchairs while struggling to use tools with buttons, levers, knobs, and handles in a world designed around manual dexterity. Opportunities for travel, communications, recreation, education, and employment are severely limited due to the additional complexity of meeting their needs. Those limited by quadriplegia or tetraplegia, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, and Lou Gehrig's disease or ALS find our solutions ideally suited to their needs. However our solutions can also greatly simplify the lives of those with less limitations also; such as paraplegics, those who have suffered a stroke, brain injury, spina bifida, or other disabling disease or injury.
Our Products
Our tools empower our customers to break down barriers and lead fulfilling lives as equals within society. Our solutions not only enrich the lives of those directly served, but through them, the lives of their families, friends, and communities.
Broadened Horizons' solutions take two forms: developing new, universally functional versions of existing products, and developing solutions to expand the functional usefulness of existing products to more people. Within this context, we focus on products that enhance personal independence through access to communications, transportation, education, employment, and recreation. We believe these areas have the greatest potential impact to enhance quality of life by reducing both the real and perceived limitations of those we serve; or in other words, broadening their horizons.
Our Philosophy
Disability Is Only Differential Ability! We humans have an immeasurable ability to compensate and adapt. The lack of any ability focuses and refines the development of other abilities. By the structure of the word, dis-ability is the lack of an ability expected of the "standard" individual. Since necessity is the mother of invention, all of society's developments and innovations throughout history are based upon the expectation of a certain baseline level of ability. When an individual lacks one or more abilities from this standard baseline, they are greatly disadvantaged simply because they are unable to take advantage of all of society's innovations from housing to transportation to communications to entertainment.
By simply rethinking where that baseline is drawn and applying the concepts of universal design to all aspects of life, not only does society become purposefully inclusive, but it has been demonstrated that an exponentially greater portion of the population benefits than was ever initially expected or anticipated. Curb cuts were originally proposed to benefit those with mobility impairments and initially thought by many not to be worth the additional effort to benefit such a small population. However, it was soon discovered that curb cuts made the investment in sidewalks more useful for everyone from bikers and skateboarders to mothers with baby strollers to workers unloading cargo. This has led to their even greater use and inclusion in many more locations than simply on street corners. Yet many public building entrances and interiors still feature a single steps when a short ramp has been demonstrated far more useful for everyone.
