[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just an FYI, there are some agencies that will loan and/or give you a ramp if you need it for your front steps. Check out Lollipop Kids Foundation. I was able to find a ramp for a family that I worked with. The foundation is in MOCO but not sure if you need to live in the county to use them. MOCO has some good programs. There is an AAC classroom. There is also a physical disabilities program, PEP classes, etc. You may find some ramblers in the 20814 zip code http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/5411-Linden-Ct_Bethesda_MD_20814_M62648-41221?row=3 Or in 20902 (Silver Spring) or maybe Kensington. Those areas would be decent for a commute into DC (though not ideal). [/quote] A ramp can only have a certain slope to be viable for a wheelchair. A portable ramp can only handle two-three steps. [/quote] Yes, Lollipop Kids has a variety of ramps - we got one that could accomodate a heavy electric chair with 6 front steps.[/quote]
