We have the same set up at our local pool and I don't think I have ever gotten my kids changed so fast as when I used the family/disabled room.<br /><br />Honestly, when I was in there though I did think how would a disabled person use this when there is barely enough room for me and my 2 kids under 3. The bench they were on was tiny and I doubt you could have got like a wheel chair in there easily.<br /><br />Since my sister in law developed a disability our whole family has become more aware of facilities, or lack thereof and the poor design in many of them.Kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05491934898526227610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804953488205631018.post-10299831965369825212011-02-28T21:39:50.961+11:002011-02-28T21:39:50.961+11:00It's an issue i've thought about frequentl...It's an issue i've thought about frequently since hearing about Edan (15 years old i think) at an airport- the airport people thought it was reasonable that his mum change him ON THE TOILET FLOOR!! Nice. <br />It's a disgrace that they are really only made to fit a wheelchair or to change an infant....because they are the only disabilities of course... ppffttt.<br />I'm with you on this one and will be taking note.<br />XLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804953488205631018.post-65924629254801656112011-02-28T20:18:15.539+11:002011-02-28T20:18:15.539+11:00@Eric-LOL!

If only they DID research who was using their facilities. I wonder if it is possible to get it right?

So how is one set up going to work for everyone, I think facilities really need to research who is using their facilities and what kind of equitpment is going to work for all of them. Just my opinion though.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17395127301409588288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804953488205631018.post-36308337844295403992011-02-28T14:24:03.705+11:002011-02-28T14:24:03.705+11:00I have started to pay attention to "Disabilit...I have started to pay attention to "Disability" facilities as well. I will admit at times it seems like the designers of these facilities don't have a clue and didn't bother asking for input!Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026972163651618716noreply@blogger.com
