Accessibility
& Mobility
Imagine a youngster being unable to join their friends outdoors because their home’s steps are a constant, back-breaking barrier. This unfortunate scenario is a reality for too many children with disabilities who use wheelchairs.
​
That’s why since 2008, more than 200 QuickRamps for Kids have been awarded by MI-UCP. Every ramp is making a life-changing difference in closing the disability divide for these Michigan kids and families.
QuickRamps are a simple, portable ramp solution for children who use a wheelchair. Unlike costly built-to-order ramps, QuickRamps are inexpensive and immediately functional. Upon delivery, just open the box, pick it up, and place the ramp over the home’s stairs.These ramps are easy to fold and transport, allowing a world of different locations to become more accessible.
If you’re interested in applying for a QuickRamp from MI-UCP, you can download and complete the application here.
Or email us at quickramps@mi-ucp.org
To help set your expectations, please know the demand for QuickRamps is significant. And while the funding MI-UCP receives through foundations is generous, we’re currently unable to fulfill every request.
Let’s close the disability divide for every Michigan child with a disability who uses a wheelchair. Now is the perfect moment for you to act on your feelings. Because they’re true.

Reeves Foundation Portable Ramp Loan Program
Portable ramps make a huge different in accessibility. Thanks to a grant from the Christopher and Dana Reeves Foundation, MI-UCP and our partners - WOW Detroit, Disability Network, and SAIL - are now able to offer portable ramps for temporary loan across the state of Michigan.
The portable ramps are foldable and available in several different lengths. They can be stored like a suitcase, providing the freedom to easily move them from one location to another.
