Individual assistance

Individual Assistance ILAN’s Personal Aid Program assists individuals and their families to surmount the great financial burden that the disability imposes on them personally and on their entire family.

Many of the people that ILAN helps are at the low end of the socio-economic spectrum, and thus are already in considerable financial distress. For these low-income families, the cost of buying a motorized wheelchair, stabilizers, and walking frames − to say nothing of the sophisticated equipment needed by persons with communication and verbal impairments, such as a computer and alternative communication software – would be prohibitive were they not to receive financial assistance. ILAN’s Personal Aid Program gives grants to qualified disabled individuals and their families to enable them to buy the accessories that are so necessary for the individual's rehabilitation.
