Lauren and Maureen,
I have two sets of controls on my chair. One near my right hand and the other mounted to the push bar on the back of the chair.  It's really cool this way because it means someone else can drive- while I'm out for example and it won't matter if I accidentallY nudge my joystick or buttons, because when you activate the button on the attendant controls, the front ones are turned off, except for Sthe on / off button and horn. 
Keep pushing Lauren. Don't give up and don't take crap from anyone. 
 
Erica
