4.4.5 Conclusion

In this chapter, you have learned about activities and tasks related to transferring clients to facilitate the activities needed for their activities of daily living (ADL’s). Please keep in mind that these transfer techniques will need to be directly taught and learned for each client, as the needs and abilities of each client will be slightly different, as will the available equipment. When meeting a new client, ask your supervisor or trainer for a hands on demonstration of a transfer before attempting it by yourself.
