Services Offered: *MERU provides custom-made items that are not available commercially.
  • We are often looked on as a ‘last resort’, when no solution can be found, and often the need is urgent.
  • We do not take on projects where a ready-made solution can be obtained, though we can often advise or refer people to other sources of help.

Our services fall into these main areas:

Communication and control - providing access to technology that enables disabled young people to communicate and have control over their environment.

Lifestyle assistance - a wide range of equipment to make daily life easier, such as seating, bathing and toileting equipment, inclluding support for children in mainstream and special schools.

Information and advice - MERU is a useful source of information on commercial products and services for young people with disabilities. Available to parents, professionals and young people alike.

Early years mobility - MERU’s innovative Bugzi is a powered chair for the under-fives and is designed so that young children with disabilities can play and learn alongside their able-bodied friends. Meet Bugzi by visiting his website [2]
