The Handybar disability product has just received another vote of confidence. Its manufacturers, Avenue Innovations Inc., have won a 2007 da Vinci Award.
JoAnne Temple, Research Engineer, Ford Motor Company and da Vinci Search Committee Volunteer, explained the concept behind this prestigious award:
"The da Vinci Awards recognize individuals, organizations and corporations in the engineering, construction and technical fields whose design innovations have exceeded legally mandated
requirements, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, to further empower people with disabilities. The hope is that encouraging such innovations will stimulate investment in and
development of further creative advances, ultimately enabling everyone to participate and contribute in all aspects of society,"
The overall goals of this recognition venture include honoring those individuals and/or corporations in the engineering, construction and technical realm for their creative and innovative
contributions on behalf of individuals with disabilities.
Award winners, including manufacturers of the HandyBar disability product (http://www.handybar.com/) now has a momentum all of its own. Handybar, already exported to twenty countries around the world, has received unsolicited inquiries from potential
distributors in countries as diverse as Turkey and Iceland.
