The term "adaptive equipment" describes devices that make it easier for people with physical disabilities or impairments to drive or be transported in a vehicle. However, options available for factory or retailer installation, such as running boards and power-assisted seats, are not considered eligible for reimbursement.

Although an adaptive equipment assessment center is probably your best authority on what's right for you or a family member, here are the kinds of adaptive equipment available for Volvo vehicles:

• Carriers
• Lifts/Hoists
• Driving Aids/Hand Controls
• Alert Hearing Device

NOTE: Note: The adaptive equipment listed above is subject to change and to be used for reference purposes only. Volvo Cars of North America, LLC is providing this information for assistance and reference purposes only, and no endorsement is intended. The quality of services and/or equipment provided by others can only be assured by the supplying organization. Consumers should verify information and obtain complete references before having their vehicle adaptation completed.

Before you purchase any adaptive equipment for your vehicle it is good idea to obtain a driving capabilities assessment performed by a Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialist (CDRS). This section features a listing of the Association for Driver Rehabilitation Specialists (ADED) CDRS’ driver assessment locations. They can help select adaptive equipment for a driver or passenger. There are occupational therapists that can also write ''prescriptions'' for adaptive equipment, helping to assure that the installed equipment is eligible for Mobility by Volvo financial assistance. Many assessment centers also offer adaptive equipment training, and provide useful information about ways to meet transportation needs.
