Introducing THE LYNNEBAGO

A revolutionary mobile event amenity/community engagement hub allowing all humans outdoor access to community, dignity, and joy!

The Lynnebago ensures people with disabilities are expected, welcomed, and can participate in outdoor community events by providing safe accessible toileting options, diverse communication aides, and private space for nervous system regulation. We want a life that is UNIVERSALLY designed for the spectrum of humanity, so we are building it, right here and now.

The Lynnebago features:

♿ Universal Care Restroom that exceeds basic ADA standards by including a power height-adjustable changing table and AMPLE space to navigate with a wheelchair and/or other mobility aides.
♿ Sensory Sanctuary Room offering quiet, private space for respite and calm, a welcome refuge spot for neurodiverse children, adults, and any human in need of peace.
♿ Multilingual Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC) Tools to ease communication across languages and abilities throughout the design.
♿ Top of the Line Manufacturing Seeking a scalable, quality product, we selected National Restroom Trailer to build our prototype. The Lynnebago’s custom built, wheelchair accessible, temperature controlled, disaster grade structure is backed by a 20 year manufacturer’s guarantee. Also, she is MAGNIFICENT!

Our 2023/2024 Successes:

🎉 The Arc Tank 5.0. In 2023, The Lynnebago design and concept was one of three winners, out of 150 global applicants, to secure funding from Northeast Arc’s social innovation contest, The Arc Tank. The panel recognized the Lynnebago as a pioneering solution that is replicable across the Commonwealth, country, and beyond. Being awarded $75,000 through this event enabled us to gain media support and fund the custom build for our trailer prototype.
🎉 Recognition from civic bodies. We presented the vision for The Lynnebago at the Massachusetts State House and were recognized for our accomplishments in innovation by the Lynn Delegation.
🎉 Support from established public health and adaptive sports researchers. Subject matter experts from Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital will be providing mentorship for the creation of our user experience surveys and planned community health impact study.
🎉 Partnerships with renowned inclusion and accessibility experts. Internationally celebrated MERGE Diverse Abilities Consulting will be collaborating on the development of our planned volunteer and Continuing Education programs. Our design partner and business advisor from Collective Flow Consulting is seasoned in accessible design and research communications.

Now that The Lynnebago is HERE, we need YOU to keep moving in 2025!

By meeting our start-up support goal of $150K, we will be able to coordinate services and programs for local orgs and communities starting Fall 2025, curating purposefully accessible and inclusive outdoor space for immediate mutual aide and public health benefit.

With your support, we will be able to:

🎯 COMPLETE: Furnish our Sensory Sanctuary room, finalize our website (coming soon!), conduct a feasibility study, and perfect our operational procedures.
🎯 CONNECT: Host focus groups with local disability/public health centered orgs, universities, and service providers, ensuring community input and needs drive our programming and trailer improvements/redesign.
🎯 CONTRIBUTE: Provide opportunities for disability allyship through volunteer programs offering continuing education credits for clinicians and teachers, and publish our research on this pilot project to provide a roadmap for others building accessible experiences.

A word from The Lynnebago Team:

We are two working moms who caregive for family with complex medical needs while navigating our own journeys with non-apparent, dynamic disabilities. We envision a world where people with disabilities have dignity, respect, and THRIVE in inclusive communities that push beyond the minimum standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Our incredibly hard work as dedicated caregivers and perseverance as entrepreneurs has been recognized and celebrated throughout the disability community and beyond.

Together we are DETERMINED to meet the needs of our families and our fellow humans during these tumultuous times. We were able to advance The Lynnebago from concept to reality thanks to a $75,000 grant from Northeast Arc’s innovation funding competition The Arc Tank. We need YOU to help us complete our prototype and launch our sustainable social enterprise business plan.
