Take a look at www.rollxvans.com , www.imsvans.com , or enter adapted
vehicles or adapted vans on www.google.com . There are all sorts of vendors
out there. State voc rehab should have driver training. If you get a dead
end, check with one of these vendors. They'll certainly know where to go
for training and funding.

Subject: wheelchair bound driver - - ?
Hi gang,
I need to find a resource for a young handicapped man in Dayton, Ohio. He's
in his early 20's. Wheelchair bound (cerebal palsy).
Does not walk at all, but other than that everything else functions
normally. He would be able to drive an adaptive vehicle. First though
he would need to find a way to take drivers training --- in an
adaptive vehicle with HAND controls.
after he's accomplished that...
then he would need to find a used adaptive vehicle to purchase.
one where he on is own could get into it IN his wheelchair and
remain IN his wheelchair while driving...
any suggestions ?
thanks for reading ...
~Patti
