Request Our Help
VME is all about CUSTOMIZATIONS. Before we begin, we complete a marketplace search to make sure there are no other solutions available and sometimes we use similar products for inspiration. Custom devices are created by engineers who are supported by OTs, PTs, student engineers, 3D printing specialists, welders, and other professionals. They meet the unique challenges presented by people of all ages with any type of disability for review.
Tell us your goal and allow our engineers to come up with the solution. Sometimes, the solution can be a quick fix, but most projects average 3.5 months depending on the request, complexity, and your availability for testing. We strive for quality and excellence and enjoy the smiles once delivered. There is a small project fee or the fee can be offset by a sponsor or LISS funding.
Custom Designs
Pictured above – 4 pics: Farmer Gary, who is a right hand amputee using a Dorrance Hook received specialized 3D printed buttons and knobs to operate farming equipment; Rhonda, who has limited fine motor skills, received a travelling toothbrush and makeup kit; Michelle, an insurance advocate with a spinal cord injury received a custom desk with angled chair; Dan, a well-known digital artist who has cerebral palsy received specialized tools to continue his craft.
Examples of solutions for all ages/all disabilities:

- Bed and crib solutions (for children and disabled parents) – sleeping and comfort
- Adaptive musical instruments and holders
