Wheelchair Stair Climber

According to numerous reports, there are about 3 million people who are wheelchair bound; they are confined to wheelchairs due to birth defects, car accidents, and skiing accidents, and many others were disabled during the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. People who are destined to spend the rest of their lives confined to a wheelchair will always need assistance when it comes to traversing sets of stairs, be they in a residence, office building or outdoors. By federal law, small to mid-sized business cannot discriminate against wheel chair bound job applicants and employers are required to make reasonable accommodation(s) for their disabled employees.
