Isn't insisting that small businesses have wheelchair ramps just encouraging the disabled to go out in public?

I feel that it is unfair to small business owners and the normal people who buy products from these businesses.


Yes, that does encourage them. That is the idea, and rightfully so.

How much does it generally cost to install a wheelchair accessible system in a small business?

I need to know this for school. How much is it to put in different types of wheelchair access systems, such as automatic doors, "please ring for assistance" buttons, etc?


This depends a LOT on details, but some basics would be...

Automatic door- about $1,000 installed if no complications.
Alert chimes- about $200
Ramps- about $500 for a short one, up to a few thousand for a longer one
Modified bathrooms can be cheap- under $300, to really expensive at over $10,000 depending on the mods needed

What are some small organizations such as the Wheelchair Foundation or PolioPlus that I can get involved with?



Check out PETA. They will give you some small, out of the way non-profit orgaizations that don't test on animals. And no, hospitals will not help you find the small ones. They don't pay the most money. And the bigger the corporation, the more corrupt. It's all about coporate alliance and money at that end. Look up alternative medicine on Google and when you find places that peak your interest, ask them if there are any non-profit organizations they would recommend.

  • Three-quarters of German train stations wheelchair accessible ...

    I guess it all depends on the definition of barrier free. Even in the newest of stations, there is often one elevator located at one end of the platform (there are some where it is properly placed in the middle). It's still difficult for a wheelchair user to get from one end to the other when everyone is trying to get off or on to a train. In addition, many people with suitcases choose to use the single elevator thus hogging it for people who really need it. And this being Germany, you rarely get someone offering to let the wheelchair users go first. That's why one has to always alert the DB staff well in advance so that train connections can be made and assistance offered if necessary....
