They then provide recommendations and information regarding the purchase of the most suitable equipment, including new products, on the market.

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.
