Tried various transfer products and strategies to facilitate independence with transfers.

Her independence is hampered by her weight and stature. Next week, we will begin addressing tub transfers. Currently we are thinking that a tub transfer bench is the best solution, however, there multiple problems with this. 1. Stability of the bench 2. How to clean the perianal area while on a solid surface I appreciate suggestions regarding #2.
