Able Table

The Able Table is a universally designed table for wheelchair users and the general public. The Able Table has a friendly and inviting design that allows educators, parents and caretakers alike to provide nurturing hand-over-hand assistance in a comfortable space. Seating up to 4 wheelchair users and 4 care staff or peers. The sturdy melamine surface has an easy to clean hygienic finish, which is both heat and water resistant. The table is currently available in two sizes to accommodate both standard wheelchair height and the larger tilt-in-space motorised chairs. The specially designed shape provides ample space for every variety of group activity. The Able Tables benefits are palpable across all areas of public and private healthcare facilities, however we do not want to limit ourselves to theses sectors. All public areas should be wheelchair friendly, while most won’t even bat an eyelid at things like narrow doorways, steps, cracked footpaths, little to no disabled parking or lift access, the severe lack of disability friendly locations across both Ireland and the UK pose many problems for both disabled adults and children alike. It can be said that the overall lack of disabled access throughout Ireland and the UK is preventing those who are disabled, both young and old, from participating fully in public life. With the installation of Able Table’s into areas including but not limited to, bars, restaurants, and public parks we could potentially make day to day life easier for the 10 million disabled people in the UK and Ireland. The Able Table is inclusion in it’s most basic form.
