Disability Wellness

While accessibility is ordinarily taken for granted by a non disabled person, lack of accessibility is probably the most prominent plight of persons in circumstances of disability. The lack of accommodation of accessibility needs can take the simple form of a physical accessibility deficiency, or the form of inaccessibility because of unaffordability. Consequently, persons with circumstances of disability is habitually faced with having to accept the absence of the level of accessibility that is necessary for them to pursue wellness in their lives. In fact, the need for improvement   of accessibility is probably the most pleaded  subject of the disability advocacy movements.  It is also where instances of attitudes of  rejection, pity, charity, patronization, paternalism, collectivism, indifference, indignation, intimidation and underestimation, toward persons in circumstances of disability usually first appears and comes to bear.  Needless to say, lack of accessibility  is also where there is a predominance of humiliation caused unto the person.  That is why improving society's responses to fulfilment of accessibility needs is a critical first step  to improving wellness in disability.
