Wheelchairs Scooters and Sticks
Wheelchairs, scooters, and sticks all things to do with mobility and access. My involvement in working with disability was purely by accident, and profit was my motive which you will read about in the book. However, it went much further as I could see that the more access, the better it was for everyone not just the wheelchair user. The mother with a pram or pushchair, the blind or restricted vision, and of course, the biggest emerging market of older people. So if you could show businesses they could make more money by providing access, they would get more customers and everyone would benefit. I have spent over forty-three years providing accessible transport and holidays; and to this day, ...
Wheelchair Friendliness Versus Compliance in the Hospitality Industry
Over the last three decades due to advocacy and research, numerous advances in wheelchair accessibility have positively impacted the hospitality industry. In the United States, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) updated several accessibility laws beginning in 2008, which mandated a multitude of structural, design, and operational modifications to public hospitality and tourism-related spaces. While accessibility undergoes continuous improvement, there remains a wide range as to the degree of compliance among hospitality business owners and operators. This case study explores the differences between wheelchair "friendliness" versus "compliance" and the opportunities possible for the se...
Accessible Tourism
Inclusion, disability, an ageing population and tourism are increasingly important areas of study due to their implications for both tourism demand and supply. This book therefore sets out to explore and document the current theoretical approaches, foundations and issues in the study of accessible tourism. In drawing together the contributions to this volume the editors have applied broader social constructionist approaches to understanding the accessible tourism phenomena. Accessible tourism, as with any area of academic study is an evolving field of academic research and industry practice. As with other areas of tourism, the field is multidisciplinary, and is influenced by various discipli...
Design and Use of Assistive Technology
Design and Use of Assistive Technology assesses major hurdles in the design and use of assistive technologies, while also providing guidelines and recommendations to improve these technologies. This volume takes an interdisciplinary approach to solving the major issues surrounding designing and using assistive technologies for the physically impaired by blending engineering, computer science and medicine. The most difficult problems in assistive technologies, such as privacy concerns in data gathering and analysis, inherent heterogeneity of the user population, knowledge transfer of novel technologies and incorporation of the user perspective into the design process are all addressed. The bo...
Study of the Feasibility for the Introduction to the Market and Design of a System Adaptable to the Wheelchair to Protect the User from the Rain
The aim of this project is to study the introduction to the market of a wheelchair adaptable system that protects users from the rain and therefore, to come up with such a system. The design would be a practical solution for wheelchair users on rainy days making them more autonomous while increasing their independence, life possibilities and self esteem. This project includes an extensive research on the situation faced by wheelchair users in order to raise awareness of the difficulties they face and the scope of the problem. It is followed by a comparison on the current available options which, surprisingly, do not really offer a proper solution to their problem. It turns out that nowadays ...
