Description

What does accessibility actually look like from the perspective of someone who lives with a disability every day?

In Part 2 of his series on navigating life's challenges with a disability, Barrett shares firsthand experiences with hotels, accessible bathrooms, travel, and public spaces that may be labeled “accessible” but don't always work well for the people who need them.

Rather than stopping with the problems, Barrett discusses potential solutions—including businesses listening directly to people with disabilities, asking for feedback, and using that feedback to create better experiences.

His larger message is that better accessibility doesn't only help people with disabilities. Thoughtful design can make life easier for everyone.
