A wide variety of electronic controls can be installed to assist in operating a handicapped van. Gear extension levers can make it easier to shift the vehicle through modifications that make it easier to reach the lever. Keyless ignition is also a great option when the individual has mobility restrictions in the hand or wrist.

There are also many control panels or boxes that can provide easier use of buttons or switches that are found on the dashboard. These control boxes can put control of lights, windshield wipers, and other systems within easy reach of the driver.

Many modifications are also available to make steering more accessible in the handicapped van. A deep dish steering wheel can help extend the steering wheel closer to the driver by several inches. There are also modifications to reduce the effort required to turn the steering wheel. Options for such devices include low effort, zero effort and one handed steering accessories. There is event equipment which can be installed to allowing steering to be controlled with the feet.

Accelerating and braking can also be assisted through the use of specialized equipment. Individuals with mobility loss to the right leg can benefit from a left foot accelerator pedal. There are also pedal extensions available to allow an easier reach of accelerator and brake pedals. Pedal blocks can prevent the unintentional events when too much pressure may be accidentally applied. There are even hand controls that can assist with clutch use for vehicles with manual transmissions.

A Driver Rehabilitation Specialist can help mobility impaired motorist determine the right equipment and training needed to make use of the various equipment options that are available. With so many options for assisting motorist in driving the handicapped van, the ability for self-transportation can be maintained, as well as the independence that such abilities provide. With the proper modifications, mobility impaired individuals can still operate with dignity and maintain the freedom of movement provided by the use of a vehicle.
