iBot helps teenage girl - ABC News

from the ATT Homepage this morning -

For Megan Yekel, a 16-year-old with spinal muscular atrophy, giving good hugs in her wheelchair used to be really hard.

"You usually don't get the full effect when you're sitting and the person you're hugging is standing," said Megan, who has used a wheelchair since 1999.

These days, Megan's family and friends hug her without bending down. That's because Megan is now the proud owner of an Independence iBot Mobility System, the latest in wheelchair technology. The iBot's seat raises up so that the person in the chair can be at eye level with those standing.

"I think it's really important to be at eye level so you could look at somebody, you don't have to look up their nose all the time," Megan said.

"The thing that I like most about it is you see her, you don't see the chair," said her father, Dave Yekel.

the rest of the story is here:
