Gear Guide: Personal Lifts

There are so many styles and options for personal lifts, it can seem impossible to know what’s best for your unique situation. Kenny Salvini details the different categories of personal lifts — including floor, overhead and wall lifts — and explains the pros and cons of each, with pricing info and recommendations for each category.  

Trakz Tub Sliders Offer an Accessible Way to Use a Standard Bathtub Shower

Raz Design’s new Trakz line offers two models of shower/commode chair-style seats attached to a rolling base. For shower transfers, a bridge connects the seat to a separate base anchored in a standard bathtub, and you slide across. Safety mechanisms keep the seat stable whether you’re rolling through the bathroom or sitting in the tub.

PERSPECTIVES


Applying for College as a Wheelchair User

Like many high school seniors, Anja Herrman spent much of the last year applying to colleges. But as a power wheelchair user, her experience differed from that of her peers. “Making four-year decisions based on ramps rather than sororities, and on pragmatic considerations instead of purely on possibilities, was frustrating to say the least,” she writes. 

PRO TIP

Connecting with Peers

It has never been easier to connect to peers with similar disabilities than it is right now. Whether you live in a remote location or a bustling city, the rise of the internet and social media means you’re only clicks away from sharing your story and learning from others. And if you’re not the internet type and prefer face-to-face interactions, there are just as many options. Check out these resources to find the support you need.
