Wheelchair Automatic Doors
Do you think public places really are handicapped friendly?
I used to think they were, that is until my mom was rendered unable to walk for 6 months and I can now definitely say that I think they are not.
First off, there are hardly any handicapped spaces left. Most of these people with the placards do not even need them! Almost everytime I see someone walk out of a car with a handicapped placard, they look and walk completely normal. Where are they getting these placards from anyways?
Also, hardly any public doors are automatic. Do you know how hard it is to open a door and try to push someone in with a wheelchair? Usually, bystanders are unwilling to help anyways.
The worst thing is people are very rude and demeaning to people in wheelchairs as well. They dont get out of the way most of the time and they just tend to look down on you.
I know America has come a long way for handicapped people, but some things still need to improve.
Sometimes a person's disability or handicap is not immediately visible. I know several people that have pretty severe heart and/or lung problems that prevent them from walking great distances at one stretch, so they use the handicapped spaces, walk to the door, then use the scooters (if available). To see these people in a social setting or even walking to the door of a business, you wouldn't guess the severity of their health problems. On the other hand, I also know people that take advantage of the handicapped parking.
My sister was in a wheelchair her entire life (33 years) and I never encountered anyone that wasn't willing to help us with a door and even had teenage boys lift her and her chair up stairs at times, so I'm wondering where you live that people are so rude to your mother. People in our area were never anything but helpful, so I'm really saddened to hear that you're having such difficulties. I simply don't understand people that would behave as you describe.

why in the world do councils plan for disabled but yet not much is disabled friendly?
you go to you local shops and a of course there is a disabled parking bay. in this parking bay is a disabled person in a wheelchair trying to get to the shops, and low and behold no lowered kerb.
some councils have more brains than others! as if a bay is ok on its own with a kerb to negotiate!
in shopping centres the newer complexes will have the wheelchair access inside the complex with automatic doors, but outside in the carpark (if its a multi-storey) you have doors that you need to try and open, i watched a fellow wheelchair user trying to open a door that swung only inwards and you need two hands for, yet you also need two hands to push yourself if your on your own and there is no-one about to help out.
so again i ask, why do councils not have a clue about the needs of their disabled residents? why do they only accommodate some parts of the disability and not all parts? so much for equality in allowing everyone to shop and get out!
There is a legal provision that respects the "ex post facto" laws of our nation, which is called "the grandfather clause".
That means, if it was legal when it occurred, such as commercial and public doors that open inward, then it is still legal until there is a modification or replacement.
Often older establishments do not need to modify themselves in MANY cases (not all) provided they have never upgraded their building or premises. But should they replace the wiring in their building to bring it up to code, perhaps many communities may also require disability-accessible features to be incorporated as well.
