  Professionally self-determined thanks to vehicle conversion  
  Dear Sir or Madam,

There are many efforts to include people with disabilities in the primary labor market. So it's all the nicer when employers and the employers' liability insurance association work together to keep a loyal employee in their ranks. After all, it's always just a question of workplace equipment. And fortunately, that also applies to forklifts. Find out how PARAVAN solved the problem in our news.

Have a nice week!

Not making happiness dependent on external circumstances or other people and believing that the best is yet to come – that is Silke Pan's recipe for success. What the sport is an expression of, why she would like to ride on the back of a dragon from literature and how she rolls otherwise, she told us at REHACARE.com.

Mobility is a key ability to live a self-determined life. It pertains to both the private and the professional realm: Agriculture, logistics, public service – none of them are possible without automobility. But who converts commercial vehicles to make them accessible for people with disabilities? And who pays for the costs? REHACARE.com looked into the matter.
