This was shared with me recently. The Philadelphia Zoo has
improved accessibility for children. KidZooU: Hamilton Family Children’s
Zoo & Education Center has integrated the ideals of universal design in
a wonderfully creative manner. There are
social stories available, picture schedules and quiet spaces. This is certainly
a model to look at when improving access in other public and private places. Here is some additional information on the
changes: ABC
News. As parks, museums, zoos etc.
are updated, consideration should always be made for these improvements. There
really is no reason not to improve accessibility for all. Everyone benefits.
This blog focuses on success stories, ideas, supports, services and many more areas in which we can empower people with different abilities in having equal access to the world. Everyone is welcome to join in this conversation. It includes research, experience and opinion. We need to talk about these areas and continue to look at ways to do things better. We have not been doing any of this long enough to be satisfied with what we have. Complacency is not an option for anyone.
