Episode 64. Powered height adjustable adult changing tables.

As the mother and primary caregiver of a special needs child, Carla Christensen has spent over 20 years navigating the world of special education and medical advocacy. She's brought that hands-on experience to her role as Marketing Director for MAX-Ability, where she relishes the opportunity to work with groups like Changing Spaces, Universal Changing Places, Love Hope & Autism, The On-Air Advocate, and now Raising Kellan to increase awareness of a variety of special needs, particularly restroom accommodation for all. Carla's Takeaway: "Accessibility is NOT accommodation. We all benefit when everyone can get out and about to lead their fullest lives, and that means accommodating the person, not the wheelchair."
