Hi there,
I m not an expert on the subject so far i m neither disabled or
pregnant or elderly, but those questions and discussions about teh
subject do bring matters that i keep thinking. The few i know is about
a master of science that i conducted related to accessibility but in
public transport, all the names, laws, international development was
and still is new for my person, as i have my studies in enginering and
we dont really study about needs, although (civil enginers) conduct
their projects (mostly) direclty for the usage by people (thats one of
my regreats in my field).
I strongly feel that discucussions must be carried out, but (just
my toughts) if we keep on it, what is gonna be about what is deeply
affecting people with needs that are not "the standard" (if theres a
standard - i DOUBT IT) I say that, because here in Brazil the type of
study i carried out was and still is full of political discussions and
for sure they should be present, but this is also a reason for the
STANDSTILL status that we face in our local situation.
Thanks for your time
Regards,
Vital AMílcar
