Disabled access
I find it very disturbing to read DDA reports by many Access Consultants only to find that Learning Difficulties are very often not taken into account when undertaking Disability Discrimination Act audits. It needs to be understood that disabled access does not simply mean a wheelchair getting through a doorway or catering for visual and hearing impairments. People with Learning difficulties far out number wheelchair users and this should be considered when auditing buildings and services for disabled access and egress. Disability is a vast subject with many many variations all of which need equal consideration for access and safe egress. I myself do not consider myself classified as ‘learning difficulties’ but as a physically disabled person I do appreciate the need to cater for all disabilities. www.access-auditing.com |
