Travel Woes of the Disabled in Our Community
September 30, 2009
You are a person with a disability. That disability requires that you use a wheelchair or scooter for mobility. In this case, your disability is Multiple Sclerosis and you need to attend one of the special clinics for MS in Toronto to see your neurologist. You live in a city/town or rural area in Simcoe County.
The important question is: “How do you get there?”
What Does Accessibility mean
By Jonathan Snook
2007 Nov 27
If you were to ask people that question, I suspect most would say that accessibility
is about making sure something – in our context, a web site or web
application – that works for those who are physically disabled. Maybe they’re
blind or maybe they’re a quadriplegic and unable to use a keyboard or mouse
in the traditional sense.
Plan an Accessible Meeting
Advanced planning may help to ensure that the accommodation needs of people
with disabilities are anticipated and acted upon ahead of time. Even when you
may not know in advance whether any of your participants may need accommodations,
you should be prepared to arrange your meeting or event to be accessible
so that people with disabilities can participate fully.
