The topic came up in the thread on ADA travel issues. I thought it was a good topic, worthy of its own thread.
Some folks here have experience with sliding board transfers. Others require mechanical lifts.
I don’t yet have experience with either, so I’m hoping experienced members will weigh in. Specifically, is a sliding board transfer a stage most people go through before needing to use a lift? Do some people go straight to a lift when they can no longer do pivot transfers or can no longer get off the toilet? Can a sliding board replace a lift when traveling?
Thanks in advance.
