[Blind-Rollers] FW: New TechSAge Publication: Aging with Mobility Disability

[Lauren Merryfield]

Hi,
Do you know if there is such a thing as a manual chair that would have sensory thingies on it so we could tell what is in front of us, so we wouldn't run into anyone and would know if we were in the center of a hallway, that kind of thing? Sorry for long sentence.
Thanks,
Blessings,
Stay well and stay safe,
Lauren❤


"What a power is love! It is the most wonderful, the greatest of all living powers. Love gives life to the lifeless. Love lights a flame in the heart that is cold.Love brings hope to the hopeless and gladdens the hearts of the sorrowful. In the world of existence there is indeed no greater power than the power of love."  
Abdu’l-Baha
