Bathing and showering equipment: A product guide

Abstract

Bathing should be seen as a pleasant and relaxing experience for all those concerned. This should not be any different for a child with a disability. Bathing and showering equipment tailored to meet the specific need of the child and the extent of the disability can ease the burden on the carer and encourage the independence of the child. This article explores the range of assistive products available on the market and the factors that need to be taken into consideration before purchasing such equipment.
