As a person with a disability, or if you take care of someone with a disability, it’s important to know about Access Advocates. When you have a disability, you have specific rights, and these rights should not be ignored.
Enjoying a good quality of life does and should extend beyond the home. When you have a disability you may feel as though you can’t enjoy doing normal things in life, like going on vacation, shopping, going to restaurants, the bank, and of course going to school. If you find that an establishment that you would like to go to doesn’t allow you to safely enter, move around, and exit, you need to find an access advocate.
Access Advocates Gives You A Voice!
An advocate is here to give you a voice and help to provide a solution to your problem. When you have a disability, you may find it difficult to enter certain buildings. But you may not know that making it difficult for you to enter is actually against the law. In fact, the Americans With Disabilities Act was created specifically to protect individuals who may need additional care.
For example, you want to go to a specific restaurant that does not have wheelchair access, they are breaking the law. And when an establishment isn’t in compliance with the ADA, you need to bring it to light. You are important, and entitled to your right to enter a building safely. By enlisting the help of an access advocate, you can have your rights and needs represented and help to correct the error of the establishment. An access advocate can be your voice in the legal system, helping to make sure that anyone with a disability is able to enter any building safely and without fear of injury.
