I think the Trekker is the best bet.
Though its expensive, its definitely worth every penny.
There are lots of agencies and organizations that will help to perchase

Since they are a relatively new peace of adaptive equipment, lots of times
organizations are all too happy to buy them to see if they truely do help as
much as they appear to.
