Lack of accessibility often means lack of opportunity to participate
“I checked into a hotel recently in Brisbane, the person on reception dealt with me as if I was an inconvenience when I provided my booking confirmation. She then went on to tell me that ‘we have one of those rooms ready’. When I arrived at my room I found that the bathroom area was being used as a part-time storeroom. After contacting reception to explain the situation I got told someone would be up to move the boxes, 90 minutes later I was still unable to use the bathroom. I was left feeling unwelcome and inadequate as a human being”. – Bill Peacock, Spinal Life Member
