A unique technology gives disabled videographers the ability to shoot footage while in motion. The CanAssist Polecam Power Chair is controlled with a joystick and sip-and-puff device. It's an ideal technology for covering special events and sports.
We believe passionately that people with special needs, regardless of the challenges they face, must be given every opportunity to participate fully in society. We invite you to join us in working together to improve the quality of life of those with special needs and in celebrating their achievements.
