"I can’t thank Team Gleason enough for installing the elevator on my wheelchair. Their prompt response and all communication with me was very professional. The elevator is amazing. It has enabled me to continue living independently in my home, I can now reach cupboards in the kitchen, the microwave, the freezer and I also use it to use the counter tops. I love being able to raise myself when at the store, on trips to museums, the zoo and other places I visit with friends and family, being the same height as others really helps me feel a little more ‘normal’. My favorite place to go is out to the barn to ride horses. The elevator allows me to be at eye level with the horse making it easier, and more enjoyable, when grooming and spoiling them with lots of attention. I will be forever grateful for the assistance I received; it has been life-changing for me. Team Gleason have been instrumental in allowing me to enjoy my life as much as I can for as long as I can. THANK YOU TEAM GLEASON!" - Julie I., Spring, TX

Providing technology and equipment to families across the US to give individuals back their independence is why we do what we do every single day. 🎉 ⚜️ Giving them the ability to attend Jazz Fest is an extra special bonus! - "My name is Bill. I was diagnosed with ALS in January 2023. Before my diagnosis, I was primarily getting around by walker and/or manual wheelchair. This necessitated frequent help from my caregivers, my daughter and her wife, and a few select friends, which limited me to only a few experiences outside of my home, mainly medical experiences and a weekly Scrabble game with friends. Since receiving a Jazzy Carbon motorized chair from the Team Gleason Foundation, I’ve been able to expand my ability to enjoy restaurants, movie, as well as my weekly Scrabble game. I even attended Jazz Fest this year. In addition, I was able to escort visiting relatives and other guests from out of town around New Orleans to show the wonders of the city. Having this degree more of independence greatly improved my mental health. I am very grateful to the Team Gleason Foundation for providing the Jazzy Carbon wheelchair." #teamgleason #als #nowhiteflags

At Team Gleason, we're dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for the ALS community by advocating for accessibility advancements. We understand the everyday challenges faced by those with ALS, and we're committed to bridging that gap. We are excited to see Apple’s latest announcement of its new accessibility features. The ability to use eye-tracking outdoors in sunlight addresses one of the biggest hurdles for the ALS community. Having a solution to this is groundbreaking for those who can only communicate with a speech-generating device. These advancements aren't just about accessibility; they're about empowerment.
