DON’T DISABLE THE DISABLED
Every day in Utah, thousands of physically disabled people prepare for their daily activities. Either alone or with the help of family or caregivers, this is a demanding undertaking.
Simple activities like going to the grocery store or a doctor’s appointment require energy and planning that’s difficult to comprehend. Imagine the frustration and anguish added to an already challenging outing as a disabled person arrives at a destination and finds that specifically marked, designated handicapped parking spaces have been taken by someone unimpaired.
Whether in a wheelchair or using other mobility aids, suddenly a simple errand becomes immeasurably more challenging, and in some cases has to be abandoned.
The Disabled Rights Action Committee’s (disabledrightsaction.org) public education initiative was created and supported by ParaQuad Mobility (paraquad.com). “Don’t Disable The Disabled” is a compelling public education campaign intended to establish awareness of the real hardship the seemingly harmless act of using a handicapped parking space causes the disabled.
