I find this so intriguing. This is the mind set of most of the population.
After staying in a hotel recently I was happily surprised that the accessible room, with a roll-in shower had the shampoo, conditioner and bath soap located within reach of the fold-down bench. Hardly ever is it located close enough for someone who uses a wheelchair and is transferred and seated on the bench, to be able to reach it. It’s normally too high or too far on the other end.
What I did find to be really intriguing, is that the hotel decided to put a second set of shower items on the far end up higher. I feel like they thought, “we will put some soaps in a spot where someone seated can reach them and also place more where someone standing can reach them”.
Prime example of people not thinking about Universal design. Universal design means EVERYONE can benefit from it. If the soaps were placed near the bench, someone standing could still reach it too. I didn’t need my own location just because I’m standing.
Cory and I joked about it the entire stay saying “hey, don’t use MY shampoo”, as if we were designated for a certain location. 🤪🤣
I also think businesses don’t need steps. They only need a ramp. It’s much easier to use and to access for all of their guests whether they can walk, use a cane, have a child in a stroller, use a wheelchair, have weak legs, or use a walker. A ramp works for everyone. 🤷‍♀️
