Ma'ayan-Rehabilitative Equipment Display Center
Ma'ayan is a unique evaluation and display center which provides parents and professionals with service and information about rehabilitation accessories. Ma'ayan is staffed by ALYN's occupational therapists that are specially trained in the fields of customized seating, use of adaptive equipment such as manual and powered wheelchairs, bathing aids and personalized adaptations of equipment.
Families bring their children to Ma'ayan to receive advice and recommendations for any equipment which can improve their child's quality of life and independence both inside the home and outside in the community. The Ma'ayan staff evaluates and assesses the patient's needs - and the needs of the family – and then gives recommendations and information regarding the purchase of the most suitable equipment, including new products, on the market.
The Ma'ayan staff if often called upon to lecture, give advice and present at conferences and other medical facilities around the country. Day seminars and conferences are organized by the Ma'ayan staff on subjects such as seating and mobility, technical aids (including computer accessories), wheelchair selection and the safe transportation of children with special needs. In addition the Ma'ayan staff run workshops to demonstrate the use of various accessories used in rehabilitation.
