Access to Recreation (800-634-4351) is one company that may help. There is
another company that has a particular device, The Kili-Kart (907-745-3900;
www.disabilityoptions.com). There is also a program that was developed with
grant money, BeachAbility sponsored by Easter Seals, that provided
recreational AT equipment for the NC beaches.I know they would have tons of
literature and leads for where they purchased a lot of their equipment.
Their number is 800-662-7119.Try to speak with Jeff Smith; he coordinated
their efforts (919-783-8898). There was also a Recreation Access Project run
by Carol Williams through Partnerships in Assistive Technology
(919-872-2298). Someone at PAT should be able to give you some leads for
their past contacts.

Hope this is a start...

I am new to this list and hope that members will be able to assist me in my
research. We are an organization, Training and Evaluation Center of
Hutchinson,  located in Central Kansas, USA providing services to adults and
children with developmental disabilities. I am currently working on a
project to develop a lending service of recreational type equipment that can
be used by members of our community regardless of disability. We are wanting
to contact manufactures, importers, wholesale distributors that offer
equipment and aids to enable individuals with disabilities to enjoy
recreational activities. We are looking for such things as fishing
equipment, golf equipment, bowling equipment, swimming, archery and all
other kind of  equipment for recreational activities. I am needing company
names, phone numbers, addresses etc. I am also wanting to know if anyone
knows of shows that we might attend to also help us to make contact with
companies offering equipment of this type. Your assistance in this effort
will be appreciated.
