Explanation of Facebook post of husband in wheelchair with infant in parking lot
- The design of our homes and communities lack functional features for those with injuries, health conditions, and disabilities. Yes, there is the ADA here in the USA, but it’s not perfect, and people don’t understand the need for these design features until they themselves experience a change in health, or know someone who does.
- Barriers like this are everywhere and until you experience yourself or take the time to understand someone else’s perspective, you just won’t get it. Spend a day with someone in a wheelchair (or another mobility device) in a home, school, and the community and I can guarantee your eyes will be opened to how things are often not designed well.
- accessibility rarely makes sense until you need it (or someone you know needs it), and then problems become glaringly obvious.
