 2007 Spirit
of da Vinci Award Winner,

Leonardo da Vinci—an
Italian painter, designer, sculptor, architect, and engineer—was
a man whose spirit of scientific inquiry and mechanical inventiveness were
centuries ahead of his time. In the spirit of this 15th century visionary,
the National MS Society, Michigan Chapter, established international awards
to recognize the most innovative developments and research in adaptive and
assistive technology that embrace the Universal Design Principle. The
recognition drives the marketplace to stimulate investment in and
development of further creative advances, ultimately enabling everyone to
participate and contribute in all aspects of society. Nominations are sought
worldwide and are subsequently critiqued by a panel of judges. The da
Vinci Awards®
recognize individuals, organizations and corporations in the engineering,
construction and technical fields whose design innovations have exceeded
legally mandated requirements, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act,
to further empower people with disabilities.
