SAYING



"... I personally commend the research and mission

of Harout Markarian."

"Mobility & Inclusion" is a book that is extremely needed in this day and age! After being a special education teacher and leading a school for K-12th grade students with exceptionalities, I held a tenured professorship for a decade in the area of special education. It is from this perspective that I personally commend the research and mission of Harout Markarian. As an engineer he is creating the technology that is transforming the lives of those who desperately need safe and inclusive environment that are accessible; plus, also the mobility devices that will make a profound impact on their lives. This book serves as a "Why" as his life's work presents the "How" for people with disabilities. This is a must read for those who are #AllIn for creating accessible and inclusive lives!"

-Dr. Shellie Hipsky

"As a quadriplegic I've always stayed well informed regarding disability related issues, but there was a lot of content in this book that was new to me and I found to be vey refreshing. It is well written, and the author does so in a simplistic yet intellectual manner that makes it easy to understand. Furthermore, even though the overall subject matter is primarily focused on disability related topics, the book is enjoyable to read because in some aspects of our lives the issues the author addresses will affect everybody in some form or another at some point in society and living. You can tell the author is highly intelligent and selfless, and it's individuals like him that give me hope for our future."

-Eric Anderson

"... I so admire what the author is doing to help

so many other people and to raise awareness of the impact disabilities have on everyday people..."

"Harout did a fantastic job of educating the general public on mobility and inclusion. As an occupational therapist, I have many of the same goals - increased independent, accessibility, universal design, and inclusion with the children I work with, so I read his book with great interest and learned a lot that I can apply to my practice. I so admire what the author is doing to help so many people and to raise awareness of the impact disabilities have on everyday people; adding the personal stories of people with disabilities made it more meaningful. I love that he is doing podcasts."

-Nancy Arkwright

"A great read for individuals impacted by a disability and for anyone lacking awareness around the subject. The author uses stories and personal experiences to help guide the idea that while much has been done to improve disability limitations, society still has a ways to go. But he also gives us hope that technology is advancing and people's mindsets are shifting. The tie in to the workplace and the opportunity organizations have to become more inclusive was powerful, and its clear we're well past the point in making a shift in this area. This was a well written and researched book by an author who clearly has a passion for mobility and inclusion."

-Eric Ostgarden

"It really is time that we get past the limited integration of accessibility principles in daily life. This book gives a great high-level overview of some of the challenges and barriers that exist for inclusivity today, but more importantly, it gives an optimistic and pragmatic view of the future and where the field of mobility and inclusion is heading. The author's particular perspective from his background in robotics sets this book apart in the field, giving us some insight into actual applications being developed today and imagined for the future. It's also an enjoyable read thanks to the author's conversational and approachable voice."

"This book reviews current and future development in building equipment and finding solutions to physical challenges for the disabled. It defines the numerous ways disabilities affect all of us and also points out the various laws designed to improve the lives of the disabled that are not enforced or funded. I found it eye opening and the numerous inspirational stories of people who had overcome physical and emotional disabilities to live their best lives compelling."

-Miki Conn

"This book covers a topic that is very needed. As someone who has experience with Mobility and Inclusion issues within my family, it was great to know that we aren't alone and the practical tips were very encouraging. Highly recommend!"

-Tyler Phillips

It shows how people continue to make their life work no matter the challenges!"

-Donna M Russo

"I really loved reading about the author’s mission toward making the world more accessible to all. I particularly liked the chapter talking about using the concept of Universal Design. That chapter caused me to pause and reflect."

-C. Monn

"There are endless opportunities to make the world more accessible to those who need it. Harout and MARKBOTIX are doing just that."

-Unknown

"With an understanding of what it actually takes to make the world more accessible, the author informs readers and inspires them to act."

"This book covers the many aspects, with depth that anyone new to Mobility and Inclusion will genuinely appreciate.
It is a quick read, that will provide you with an overview as what to expect in association to Mobility and Inclusion, but more than that, how to think about circumstances.
The Author knows his stuff. His sightings demonstrate “real” points of view and come within the remit of Mobility and Inclusion. This book provides a comprehensive overview and is a “must read”."
