Porch For Trailer House

parallel existences

There is just something not right between ordinary people and people with disabilities. Parallel existences, different tracks ... "I know you're there, but you never encounter."
People has head in different ways. Take the stairs to the restaurant ... and able bodied slide for people with disabilities. If they did instead of just one slide from the same place and spend all this would be a good starting point to work on ' INCLUSION . And the paradox is that then people should solve problems related to disability, most of the time in the field they understand very little. I happened to try to talk to right-thinking, with councilors, social workers with the only thing I can say is that there are solutions. They defend themselves like this: "yeah but there is this center, but eh see that association there, eh, but look what a beautiful place for people with disabilities have just opened, eh this and that " the matter is that these solutions are things that force once the disabled to live exclusively with other disabled! This is not good.
As we can all build centers, then we stuck with a bit 'of the disabled and away! But I wish they were disabled out among others. course, that there is already something that has to do with people with disabilities is already a step forward. We're back, however, This was fine way back when it was still called the disabled handicapped. Now there are people with disabilities MUST live among others. If we continue to build specialized centers, associations specialized rides for people with disabilities, alternative routes for wheelchairs not conclude anything! And people are convinced that these things exist because people with disabilities are considered and are given support. No! So are even more isolated from society. The more associations there will be less disabled find around ... free. There is nothing to suggest things that the disabled person has a custom location, and the able-bodied go somewhere else. If you enter the hospital there are two different paths, the able-bodied and the disabled will never meet! Where is the exchange? Where is this famous INCLUSION? There. We live far apart from each other. Parallel existences.
long as a normal person will expect to work for people with disabilities, but that alone will never do something concrete for them. Need their expertise. They are the true experts of their lives. Lacks the consideration of the disabled person. Build a cinema? Ask the help of an architect disabled and see how much money will you! Make the apartment home automation? Fine but do not make 100 all neighbors, otherwise it close? 100 people with disabilities who certainly are autonomous in their homes, but leaving the house only meet people like them! Where is the mutual exchange again? Keep it in a center, another in another way and so on ... So we can also help each other. Sure it costs more, more energy. But at what point? To do less work? O to ensure that people with disabilities are fully INCLUDED in our society? Because at this point, better to live in a place inaccessible but at least you do not have neighbors like 100 other people with disabilities! this is the error: confine, isolate themselves ...
should instead try to mingle. Trying to promote the meeting between ordinary people and people with disabilities. Because one can enrich the experience of others and vice versa.
