What kind of places do you think are accessible to everyone (disabled and not) and what kind of places do you think need work on becoming more accessible?

Hi everyone,

I am 18 years old, go to university and live with sister and my mum who has a physical disabilty, fibromyalgia. My parents are divorced and our family is not close-knit.

My mums disabilty has been going on since i was in grade 6, and unfourtunately has always, slowly but surely getting a little bit worse. Last year she stopped being able to drive a car. Now she can't even get into one and stuggles to walk. I do so much for her, like get groceries for the family, iron things, get things down ''low'' or up ''high'' for her things that are heavy (ie: more than one Kilogram!). She can't even carry more than two plates at once.

As much as i try to help, it seems my efforts are fruitless. Its emotionally hard to accept, its like i see my mum dying before my eyes. Its a slow grief. I see her suffering, she has lost friends through this. I see myself, my sister suffering and other people worry for her. I sometimes wish she was dead.

How do i deal with all this?

On my father's (and some on my mother's) side of the family there's a lot of relatives and it seems like half of them are disabled in some way (but in various ways), from observing, I've noticed depression, learning disabilities, mental retardation, speech impediments, morbid obesity, breathing, and various medical problems run in my family. Can a learning disability (even the nogenetic types) be genetic in a family tree?

I know two people both have fried their brains, there is nothing wrong with them phsycially other than the fact that they are too lazy to blow their own nose - and BOTH have just been awarded a huge settlement from Workers Comp and one of them is collecting his full private disability from his workplace AND the CPP disability pension at the same time.

He is pulling in over $2500 a month and his disability was caused by using street drugs and frying his brain, he is also an alcoholic - an out of control alcholic -

The other one in fact is still working, on the sly, roofing, no disabled person could be doing that, its hard work

This just frosts my socks to no end. It seems to me that lately its the druggies who are being given disability benefits while those of us who are decent upstanding, once hard working people are just being kicked out the back door and denied any assistance.

Does anyone else feel the same?

Why do people insist on lumping everyone together who has disabilities like we are all the same?

People who are have low-vison are disabled and what they want, need to live their lives is entirely different than what people who have severe spinal cord injuries and have quadriplegia want, need to live their lives fully and that is entirely different than a person who has a cognitive disability wants. needs to live their life fully.

What is available to people with disabilities is also different is different countries, states, and cities - so be specific - so you can get information you can actually use.

If you need answers - ask a specific enough question so that a person can actually help you if they want to.

Is that really so hard?

Cystic fibrosis
Down syndrome (many friends with this)
muscular dystrophy
Neurofibromatosis (family members and self with type 1)
spina bifida (lost a friend at the age of 24 to this)
Eplisey (many friends with this)

there are way to many disorders and disabiltys i would like to research but just not enough space to write them all down , if they can raise research for things like aids and cancer then why do i not see adds about these disorders that babys are born with.

I know about march of dimes but you dont hear much of tham anymore

I am a single mother of a 4 1/2 year old daughter that is physically Handicapped. I just recently bought our 1st home & I am looking for some form of financial assistance to make some modification to the home so that it is wheelchair accessible inside and out. I know that there must be programs (both government & privately funded) to help Lower income families in these situations. I have spent hours on the internet searching & found nothing that is clear… I am hoping someone knowledgeable in this area can help…. THANK YOU!

yesterrday at a crowded store, it was my turn at the deli counter. the man was waiting on me. as I moved along the counter, choosing things an elderly man with his cart was standing in my way. I politely told him I could not get passed to see what was behind the counter. he moved back about a foot. I told him I still couild not pass him, He says i am blind. I said ok can you move back please he yells i am at the end of the counter and you have plenty of room. I was not able to get where I needed to be to finish my order. I asked the counter man to send for the manager who came and moved the old man and his cart out of the way. The old man screamed and cursed me out. My question, did I do anything wrong. Could I have done qnything not to have a scene there?

I am blind, but I'm a partial (meaning I have partial sight). I've been this way since birth, but only recently started using a cane. I don't need it all the time, and a lot of the time when I use it I am seeing things at cane length just fine, and therefore avoiding obsticles without the cane coming in contact with them. There are still those times when it keeps me from tumbling down steps or walking into things I don't notice as quickly.like poles or open doors or people moving too fast to see. But still my family tries to tell me I shouldn't use it because I don't need it, and that it bothers them when they're out with me and people look at me because I'm using a cane and "look blind". I really don't understand it and was wondering if anyone else does. Isn't it better to "look blind" when you ARE blind than to look sighted when you're not and end up getting injured because of it?

I am interested in the opinions of the parents of disabled children or children with learning disabilities as to whether they feel there is a good range of support available to them, should they want it.
