accessible travel

"Accessible for one disabled person is not the same as accessible for another," Craig Grimes says.

Amen! Amen! Amen!

I can not even count how many times I have to “walk the ground” first before attempting to take Patti somewhere either in her wheelchair or scooter.

Hours of telephone conversations, if not even a pre-visit, have been necessary to determine exactly what is meant by an “accessible bathroom” in order to stay at a hotel.

The word “accessible” may as well be definition-less.

A shout out from Caregivingly Yours to Craig Grimes!
ONE MAN HELPS THE DISABLED SEE THE WORLD

  1. That is a wonderful resource. I will never forget working somewhere with a back area that was not wheelchair access-ready, when I mentioned it, a "manager" said: Don't worry. I'm not going to hire anyone in a wheelchair.

  2. Good for him. It is about time. It is a joke some of the area's I have seen that are suppose to be OK for a wheelchair. Obviously never really tried out.
