How would you define disability?
Something
that limits you due to x, y or z. Everyone has a disability of some
sort. No one's perfect. Everyone has a flaw of some type. In terms of
ADA, we should all be treated the same, because we are all disabled. -Christopher Noel, NYC Parks ADA Accessibility Coordinator
Many
“special needs” items need
not be special, they
just
need to be
available . For
example Scrabble and books for wheelchair bound,
puppets for autism, a hula hoop for the blind.
FatBrain
toys offers ideas like these for many disabilities. Items not
only need to be available, people must also
know
the items are available,
hence the parks banner below
