Abstract Alternative
This paper considers the appropriateness of court decisions regarding the provision of funding for the lift and neck support function of electric wheelchairs as assistive devices. First, I consider the issue of autonomy and independence for persons with disabilities. Second, I consider how the lifestyle of the plaintiff can and should be from the perspective of reasonable accommodation with regard to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Finally, I argue that the current standards regarding funding for assistive devices are no longer appropriate or in accordance with the intent of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
