I am at my wits end trying to help a friend who has short arms and legs. I am not a medical professional, but he may be subjected to dwarfism. He wishes to obtain a driver's license and drive a car. His legs can not reach gas and brake paddles. I signed him up at Michigan Rehabilitation Center. After a month or so of training, they let him drive a training vehicle with hand control equipment. However, helpers there claim that he has trouble driving with one hand and suggest that he will need paddle extension. It looks like he is going to be discharged from the organization since they don't have the right equipment for him. Who can help me find a way for my friend to find the right equipment, get trained, and get a license?
