for people who can.
Wheelchairs and ramps and lifts. These were the solutions. Public
buildings and workplaces need ramps and lifts because buildings are
built for everyone. Inventors even make all-terrain wheelchairs so
stairs are no longer a problem.
A person who can not walk is not as seriously disabled because society
made a choice to make its physical structures for everyone. Abled and
disabled people can live and work side by side.
A person who is disabled by society for being mentally ill must use the
Disability Discrimination Act to create those ramps and lifts. Society
is yet to put in place the ramps and lifts in public organisations and
workplaces. Even with the DDA society has not yet reached the point
where mentally abled and disabled people can live side by side.
What will the future bring? What will a society and work environment
designed for all of humanity be like?
