In United States, about year 2000, wheelchairs-dependent individuals required access to certain and even specific places. But then, unfortunately, this treatment wasn't able to continue. Due to judicial process from the complaint, persons with a disability have a basic human right of full participation in life and society.
We mean access as the right to obtain or make use of or take advantage of something (as services or membership). In wheelchair access simply suggest that anyone can't be a user of this medical equipment; only those who have access. Those who have wheelchair access are people who are inability to walk independently, patients who are paralyzed and mostly any particulars who are advice to use the mobility with the doctor's suggestions.
In United States, about year 2000, wheelchairs-dependent individuals required access to certain and even specific places. But then, unfortunately, this treatment wasn't able to continue. Due to judicial process from the complaint, persons with a disability have a basic human right of full participation in life and society. Congress declared that it is of critical importance to this nation that equality of opportunity, equal access to all aspects of society, and equal rights guaranteed by the constitution of the United States be provided to all individuals with disabilities.
The Commission of Civil Rights has defined this differently than other types of discrimination in that to treat persons with a disability "as if they weren't disabled" such as in "color blindness to Race" would in practice be discriminatory in many situations. An example of this would be a wheelchair user unable to get into a building without some special consideration. To treat a person exactly the "same" is to exclude them from participation in the program or activity inside the building. According to 42 United States Code Sec. 4154a (01/16/96): The building, in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, shall prescribe such standards for the design, construction, and alteration of its buildings, which has accessible route and a barrier free for wheelchair user, to insure whenever possible that physically handicapped persons will have ready access to, and use of, such buildings. |
