From Our Director:     The mission of Independability is to create products that provide the user with a greater ability to move through the world. We develop our products with direct input from the physically challenged community. Independability is devoted to assuring the user’s increased independence through innovative technology and smart design. Our creations are not added barriers to living but advancements born out of a need to promote a full life of self-reliance.    Our products are designed with the global community in mind. We create products that liberate our clients no matter where they live. We are dedicated to providing the worldwide physically challenged community with the ability to fully engage in the world. In this spirit of independence we are committed to offering our products at reasonable, competitive prices on the world stage.     At Independability, we recognize the social, political, and economic power of an estimated six hundred and fifty million physically challenged global citizens worldwide. We understand that many of these people are not empowered to fully participate in the modern world, and we are acting to provide this powerful community with equally powerful tools for engagement. From Our Prospective    At this time in history, people in industrial and post-industrial societies are living longer. The physically challenged world population is growing. Our society must adapt. It must allow the elderly population and those challenged from birth to be active and engaged in the world.    All who inhabit this earth are current or future members of the physically challenged community. Our Mission Statement     Independability researches the needs of a growing physically challenged population and develops products that increase independence and enhance quality of life. We put the physically challenged to work” in West Virginia and internationally by drawing from the resources of experience and the desire to make an accessible world where all can be equally productive.
