Speaking to your later post about employment – I see a career as an accessibility consultant for you! This post was so well-written and clear, perhaps you could make a series of books with photos — i.e. for hotels, restaurants, etc. about things to consider for accessibility. Laid out like this, it’s far easier to follow than interpreting lots of legal requirements and applying them to a specific situation.

I’ve had to change girls I have looked after on public toilet floors because either a) the toilet room was not big enough to get their wheelchair and them in or b) we needed a bench to lay them on and this is never provided. Even the toilet block on the campsite which is specifically “accessible” is ridiculously small with only one toilet cubicle big enough to fit a wheelchair in (just). I mean this has never affected me on a personal level but it has irritated me on so many occasions because it has meant I have not been able to offer a high standard of service to those in my care and that concerns me because I know I wouldn’t want to be treated in that way.

I really enjoy your accessibility posts, Glenda, they are truly informative and I love that you are making more people aware of these things!

Once again, wonderful post Glenda!

Thank you so much.
