Our Story

Hi, my name is Neil Marion. I am the CEO of Marion Innovations and also the inventor of The Inclusion Table.

With over 24 years of experience as an Occupational Therapist (OTR), I have observed a chronic problem getting my patients seated in large wheelchairs up to a dining table – with no real solutions. It is sad to see my patients having to accept being placed to a tray table versus a table, sitting sideways to a table, or even worse, being isolated to a table all alone– all because their large wheelchairs do not fit. These less-than-ideal conditions can have a huge impact on one’s sense of well-being due to a lack of socialization opportunities and loss of independence.

After witnessing this for years, I knew I had to come up with a solution. Using my copious field notes and clinical insights, I began designing a viable solution to this problem. And after many design revisions, I finalized my table design in 2017, and in 2018 approached a product development company here in Idaho to make my vision a reality. By April 2019, I had my first prototype table. As a result, Marion Innovations LLC was established in February 2019 – just two months before the first prototype of The Inclusion Table was completed. I received my patent for The Inclusion Table in April 2021.

I’m very excited to get this product out to the world to finally solve this problem!
