Hand controls can be fit to nearly all automatic transmission car/truck/van controls. There are lots of different types depending on your individual needs. Higher tech models include sensitized or low-effort steering and push button controls for windows, horn, turn signals, etc. on one panel.

There are some controls that can be adapted to a standard transmission, but they are expensive and hard to find.

Unfortunately they cannot compensate for problems with reaction time or judgement, which is why my mother had to stop driving due to her MS. We now have an accessible ramp van, but she does not drive. Her power chair drives in and locks down with a EZ Lock into the passenger position.

Prior to having hand controls installed. I was evaluated by a certified driving instructor for cognitive, visual, and the ability to adapt to hand controls. I then had 14 hours of behind the wheel driving in all types of situations with the certified instructor. In Maryland there are many regulations before you can proceed to having the hand controls installed. The auto conversion companies will not convert your car unless they have a recommendation from a certified driving instructor.

Per my instructor, in the old days there was more than one incident of a hand control conversion being completed. The new hand control driver having a severe accident in the converter's parking lot or else where due to not knowing how to drive with the hand controls. Betty
