How does one go about getting a ramp like this? I am a nurse who goes to Easter Seals with my client. There is also two more kids with nurses. All of your kids are dependent with care and use a handicap stroller.
Just recently Easter Seals took all the kids to the pumpkin patch and a hayride. Our three kids had to be lifted in the strollers onto the wagon. It was a huge safety hazard.
I alone ended up injured with pulled muscle in my back causing me to miss work. Had we had a ramp life would have been much easier to get them up on the wagon.
I am totally surprised that a preschool for disabled children does not have one. I am interested in knowing how I can fix this problem for us and for any new upcoming handicap students that will be attending the program.
Thank you
