Making our City more Accessible . By Maria Greenham Castellanos.

What could we do to make our community more accessible?
650 millions of people live with a disability, which means a
10% of people have a disability.

One of the disadvantages of having a disability is that the
costs of medical help are outrageous, another disadvantage
is not having independence and it’s more difficult to move
around in the cities, some cities are easier to live in as a
a person with a disability like Singapore, Tokyo, London, New
York, Las Vegas and etc… some of the things that make these
cities accessible are the elevators, bigger spaces, more
accessible health care, and special technology like traffic
lights with sound and bigger sidewalks.

The problem is that not all cities have the money to
afford to put elevators and make bigger changes. In Mexico
there are organizations like the Teletón that help people
with disabilities, some other organizations are AAPF,
AMDEM, and others.

I believe we need to bring awareness to this topic so that
society and future generations understand and help people
with disabilities.
