She told me that the new offices only had a couple of steps. I told her that this would make it impossible for me to see her. She just shrugged and that was that. Suddenly I didn't have a doctor. It didn't seem to matter to her at all.

People don't get that wheelchair accessibility is needed and amazing but it's not the only way to be accessible and not the only important accessibility.<br /><br />I wonder if when other disabled people ask if the building is going to be accessible they hear will the building be wheelchair accessible or if they think on the general context?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-35241797806180445892013-01-08T02:07:48.174-05:002013-01-08T02:07:48.174-05:00Your last statement really rung true to me.
