Q’STRAINT/Sure-Lok announces that Dan Allison, an occupational therapist (OTR/L) and driving specialist at the Shepherd Center, has received the company’s inaugural Q’MANITARIAN Award.
“At Q’STRAINT, we believe it takes a special type of person to work in the transportation safety industry,” says Patrick Girardin, Q’STRAINT president, in a media release. “Someone who not only demonstrates extraordinary dedication and devotion to their profession, but also compassion – a real humanitarian or what we call a Q’MANITARIAN.”
Allison, also a Certified Driving Rehab Specialist (CDRS), works with mobility passengers to train them on how to safely and properly operate or ride in a vehicle with their device, allowing them the same level of safety and accessibility as those around them.
“I am deeply honored to have received the Q’MANITARIAN award especially from a company that I hold such a high opinion of and deeply respect,” said Allison, a former president of the Association for Driver Rehab Specialists (ADED), in the release.
For over 30 years, Q’STRAINT has observed remarkable efforts by transportation industry professionals and created this award to honor and celebrate their efforts within their field. The Q’MANITARIAN Award recognizes Allison’s success in the personal mobility industry and his ability to provide highly individualized training for mobility device passengers seeking to drive or ride in a vehicle for the first time.
As the winner of the Q’MANITARIAN award, he will be presented with two commemorative plaques.
