How many times have you decided to spontaneously grab coffee with a friend, head to a new spot, or check out a “must-try” restaurant? For most, this is a standard, spontaneous part of life.
But for many disabled people, that spontaneity is a luxury we don’t have.
Before we can go anywhere, there is almost always a “pre-game” phase, searching the website (which often says nothing about accessibility), calling the venue to ask: “Is the main entrance actually flat?” “Is there a step at the door?” “Is the bathroom accessible, or is it in the basement?”
Having to “pre-clear” your physical environment isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a constant reminder that the world was not designed with you in mind.
It is a profound privilege to be able to walk, roll, or travel through your day without having to investigate if the architecture will allow you to enter.
