Wheelchair Ramps: a Great Advantage for Wheelchair Users
For wheelchair users, a common issue is climbing platforms and steps while being seated in the wheelchair. At your home, a concrete ramp made at the entrance of your home is sufficient. But when you want to step inside or outside of your car or when you are in another building, you will have to face some problems. An alternative option is to carry a portable ramp which can be placed at varying heights including steps, along which your wheelchair can be moved upwards and downwards easily.
Wheelchair ramps can be permanent, semi-permanent or portable. Constructing a ramp using concrete is ideal for permanent needs. Special care should be taken on deciding the level of inclination that should be given to these concrete ramps. A steep ramp is difficult to climb and poses the threat of wheelchair being tipped backwards. The accepted inclination level is 1:12 (i.e., for every 1 m height, the length of the ramp should be 12 m).
For portable ramps, the main concerns include the material used for the construction of the ramp, how durable the material is, and how much weight it can bear without deformation. Commonly used materials include aluminum, steel and wood. For apartments and hospitals deciding to put up a wheelchair ramp, the factors to be considered are the different types of wheelchairs with varying width between the wheels and having different weight capacities. The ramp should be able to accommodate both small and big wheelchairs and have a good load bearing capacity.
Specifically designed ramps for vehicle entry are also available. Both permanent and temporary models can be bought. Customized vehicle ramps can be built to suit to the vehicle you are using.
With a number of companies offering a wide range of wheelchair ramps, the best option is to check various ramps to find one which matches with your wheelchair. The lighter the ramp, the easier it is to carry. The trial and error method of checking different types of ramps will eventually get you the right ramp suited to your needs.

I'm trying to remember the name of a children's book i read in the 70's/80's?
It was about a girl or boy who was sent to the attic by his or her dad. she looked through a telescope there, and saw a world to which she was transported. This world was infested with ghosts, and there was a type of tree which killed them. The (live) inhabitants made buildings out of the wood to hide in, and someone had a twig of the wood they used to pop the ghosts with. The girl or boy met several people, including a man with the worst feet in the world (bunions etc...) and two people who may have been called the bad habits, who persuaded her not to clean her teeth (not sure about the last bit). Anyone got any ideas? Hope i didn't dream all of that....Thanks!
"Rebecca's World: Journey to the Forbidden Planet" by Terry Nation:
It was the eleventh day of the school holidays and Rebecca was bored. But events take a dramatic turn for the better (or worse) when she finds herself transported to a distant planet whose people are terrorized by jelly-like monsters called Ghosts.
