Wausau School District adaptive car helps students move independently

A 4-year-old student at Lincoln Early Learning Academy in Wausau is gaining independence through a customized adaptive car. Zoey Ewer, who has trisomy 9 mosaic and chronic lung disease, uses the vehicle to navigate school hallways without parental assistance. The project, supported by the Wausau School District and Fox Valley Technical College, aims to improve mobility, cognitive development, and social engagement for students with physical challenges.
