This afternoon while shopping with my dad, I observed a gentleman in an automatic wheelchair sitting in front of the door inside a Home Hardware store. As I got closer to the door I realized he was unable to open the door on his own as it was not accessible. I held the door open for him, however, as be began to exit I also noticed there as a bit of a step outside the door. While walking it is easy to just step or walk over however, this man had a bit of trouble getting over the step which took him two attempts. As he left the store I smiled at him and he nodded back. Once he had successfully exited we entered the store. My dad and I were shocked the store was not accessible especially with todays technology and all the resources available.

Looking around our home there are many things that can assist and benefit a service user with multiple conditions and/or disabilities such as walking frames, walking sticks, wheelchairs, bed and chair aids, bath and shower aids and hoisting aids, eating aids, writing aids etc. There are aids for most daily living tasks, to assist with quality of life etc. The manoeuvrable roll with four wheels is a great energy saver. It differs from the walker in that the user does not need to use arm or back muscles to lift it up or set it down. Writing aid, page turner, ball point pen

Second of all,One inventor made elevator and his name was made Alexander Miles. Early elevators were different from the mostly automated devices we're familiar with today. Passengers had to manually open and close the elevator doors, as well as the door leading to the elevator shaft. If anyone forgot to close the shaft door, other passengers could fall down the shaft when expecting to step into the elevator. Miles invented a mechanism that

In today's world, one would assume that America is hitting all the marks, when in reality we are falling short in what may count the most. We are not meeting the basic needs of our largest minority group, mentally and physically disabled people. Lack of accessibility is a difficult hurdle for both physically and cognitively disabled people. Lawmakers have a duty to everyone in America, not just the able, and encouraging accessibility in the public is the first step in the right direction.

I will recommend an elevator to modify the home since it is part of best practices for those with disabilities planning to live in the home long-term. This will allow for increased independence, accessibilty and safety. Next, I will need to widen the following doorways to the master bedroom doorway. Then, I will need to remove the carpet of the entire 2nd floor, and replace it with hardwood flooring for ease and function. Finally, I will replace the bed in the master bedroom to a bed that is lower in height for increased

Two years later, protesters were anxiously waiting at the United States Capitol for the ADA to pass. The passage of the ADA was stalled by public transit companies complaining about the strict regulations set around accessibility that would be hard to implement. Many people approached the Capitol and set their wheelchairs, crutches, and canes aside to begin crawling up the steps of the Capitol. This was known as the “Capitol Crawl” (See Appendix A). By struggling to make their way up the steps of the Capitol, the protesters were able to show the demand of accessibility in their daily

King Henry VIII was one of the most powerful rulers in the fifteenth century, who had a very captivating life many people are not aware of. Most people know Henry VIII as a berserk king with too many wives, but there is more to Henry VIII than that. Many few people know about his life and what he truly contributed to our world. Henry VIII was an almighty leader in England who won’t soon be forgotten.

I would like to focus and investigate the lack of age appropriate transportation services for the elderly and people with disabilities. The issue of transportation becomes a major concern when the elderly and people who are disabled develop uncontrollable age related illnesses and are no longer healthy to drive. Losing the privilege to drive brings independence to an end and forces the elderly to stay at home which may lead to despair and other emotions. Therefore, it is essential to provide our senior citizens and people with disabilities with reliable transportation to help them maintain their independence. It is important to create reliable services to support them in making choices about how they want to live the last years of their
