Wheelchair ramps are important. If you or a loved one makes use of a wheelchair for mobility, getting to your favorite places can quickly become a chore. Just because you are in a wheelchair doesn’t mean that you should be denied access to any building, which is why wheelchair ramps are a crucial part of your life. So when you come across places that don’t have one, you need to think about taking action.
Don’t Let Yourself Be Denied
Making use of a wheelchair for any type of occasion can be a stressful enough situation. Trying to make sure that there is room for you to maneuver around easily and without any problems can occupy your time and exhaust your energy. But, simply entering an establishment should not be an issue. That’s why, if you find that a restaurant, hotel, bank, medical building, or other place of business does not make it easy for you to enter, you should do something about it. Enabling all people to enter a place of business is not only the morally correct thing to do, it’s the law.
Wheelchair Ramps Should be the Standard, Never an Option
You cannot and should not be discriminated against if you are in a wheelchair. You have the right to go anywhere you choose, and do so safely, without having to worry about whether or not an establishment has a wheelchair ramp. By alerting Access Advocates to a non-ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant building, you will not only help yourself, but help with other who face the same problem.
As an individual in a wheelchair, you have the right to shop, stay, and do business anywhere you want, just like everyone else! Don’t deny yourself the same opportunities as others; if you come across a building that does not offer a wheelchair ramp to enable you to enter it, please contact us today!
