How accessible are the buildings to persons who are in wheelchairs, blind, or hearing-impaired?
the one thing I hate -is HEAVY doors-yeah they are wide enoguh-but some material is heavy-even for a person who is not disabled.. I was injured at a mall recently due to poor design at the accessible entrance-the track teh door was on was high-and I tripped over it due to stiffness related to my disability- Bright white steps are not good for people with vision difficulties-they reflect light and aggravate perceptual difficulties-yet they are ‘up to code’ the injury to my arm says the code needs to be modified-to note the danger also-code says that only a couple stairs doesn’t need a handrail-when you have limited mobility it does Dollar stores are infamous to having inaccessible aisles-it’s hard to walk through with all the boxes-forget about using a chair— lack of seating for people with mobility difficulties not usiing a chair-especially the long check out lines……the cashier/manager-needs to let the perosn with a disability sit somewhere while awaiting their turn-(i.
