Access for the disabled......Mobility Aides...  email this discussion to a friend?

Many elderly people have disabilities which limit their mobility. Do buses, shops and public buildings in your country provide easy access for the disabled or are your towns and cities designed mainly for the young and able-bodied? Why is this?

Here in our country, most establishments such hotels, malls, and the like do care for our fellows who need to have wheelchairs to move around. We have these ramps at the malls and elevators which in a way helped them.

The Americans with disabilities act has been in effect for quite awhile. I know that it has been implemented in stages. New construction always has these amenities. It is just getting people to realize that some disabilities are invisible. For instance, people with a heart condition might look fine, but still need to park close. It is not uncommon for others to judge them for using handicapped parking.

Thanks for your response, GardenGerty and it does feel great to see disabled people not being taken forgranted. Godbless!

Here in canda buisnesses and goverment have to provide equal access to the disabled as well as the able. The transit system has buses that kneel for those who have a hard time with steps and a service called Handi dart for people in wheel chairs they will pick you up at your home and drop u off where you need to go people who are going to Docotors or to see health professional get first priority. The service will then pick you up and bring you home again. it costs about the same as a regular bus service.

That's great! It really is a nice feeling to see our government and the company owners give attention and consideration to our fellows who aren't capable of going around without the help of some mobility aides. Godbless!

Oh yes, we do have a lot of elderly people that are disabled and we also have some of our buses and shops and public buildings that cater for these people in my country. We have built more access places for the disabled now which is great for them and they find it more easily to go wherever they need to which I believe is a great asset to our country. We have ramps for the disabled to be able to travel, more easily now, and not more lifts have been put in to help these people.

In my country, not all buses are disabilities accessible. Only specific buses will have the privilege. In addition, our housing estates are build with lifts that stop at every floor for the benefit of elderly and disabilities. Ramps are being cast more than staircases on the ground and our airport do provide disability services for wheelchair bound fellows to board and alight from the plane. In addition, we have advanced medical care for the wheelchair bound fellows.

I live in Los Angeles and while we do have transportaion and laws that are supposed to protect the disabled, I have found that a number of our bus drivers will still leave behind disabled wheelchair passengers and it makes me so angry! I've been riding the bus for almost 16 years and every time a driver passes over a person in a wheelchair, I try to report them.

I'm planning to build a series of residential hotels around the country and I've already got it in mind to make sure they are easy to access for the disabled and that we have Life Alerts in all the rooms so that they can get help if they need it.

Are right still, I am sick of multiple sclerosis and am on a wheelchair, in the town Italy and the small countries worse are not equipped.
I have been a president of the association of my illness and have also noticed what many people in wheelchair young people like me do not go out.
The government does little, also because disabled persons who go out are little, many feel ashamed, I go, but not everyone is like me. politics and the health are long speeches ... .... And pitiful
