United Kingdom impressions of people with disabilities care Article _ like smoke events

In the United Kingdom, I was most impressed by one of the things is the United Kingdom social attitudes towards persons with disabilities and ways. Start of a period of time, walking the streets in the United Kingdom, can often be found sitting in a wheelchair for disabled people, they who have limited dexterity, but with other people, or look in a hurry, or slow, the pedestrian did not put the focus on vision projected on these people, in our opinion, nothing special. I once had this question: why the United Kingdom the streets with a disability looks more than the number of our country? later, observation for a period of time, only to find that the key is that they can normally go out as free, life or even work. In this context, the United Kingdom social is indeed very good. United Kingdom bus near the station opened the door, where certain cushions and sidewalk of equal height, and the pedals are inclined instead of several steps, which makes it easy for people to get off on a wheelchair; the car has a special space is left with wheelchairs, where wheelchair persons boarding, even if it is there someone standing will immediately get out, I remember that place should be exactly into two wheelchairs, and handrails, etc. are all very; whether the sidewalk or the public, must have wheelchair access, Mall all aisle is very wide, wheelchair can go to any place; in particular, the United Kingdom all public restrooms are male, female and handicapped rooms, of which the handicapped is locked, each in the hands of people with disabilities are using a special key, nationwide, you can open a private toilet. Thus, greatly eliminates the worry about access for the disabled, so they basically have no sense of distance and the community. Of course, they treat disability equality in this regard I have some personal experience. I come from the Ministry of education of the students of the landlord is a pair of about fifty male and wife, of which the owner's name is Andrew. Andrew has a typical Western face, with bushy beard, much like Marx, he is one of the legs, every day sitting in a wheelchair. According to his wife tells us, Andrew was an engineer, a very decent work, but probably one or two years ago, an accident that he lost his legs, then you must all day and wheelchairs. For the convenience of his life, they have specially for couples in the home, because here one is very large, very spacious, have a large courtyard and garden. Andrew very able, in order to facilitate their actions, he personally put a minibus into its own dedicated to driving a car. Use the remote control door, when the cab door is open, he would control an electric stand put yourself into the cab, sitting in the driver's seat, throttle and brake, have all been converted into his hands the operation, so that although his leg cannot action, but he was able to go to work every day in his wife's time free access (his wife Lynn is an excellent primary school teachers, in 2006 new year used by the then Prime Minister Tony Blair personally Awards, all United Kingdom only 50 teachers have this privilege). In the reading, three months, Andrew became our enthusiastic friends. He took us to the supermarket shopping, go to the neighbouring town of Henry, participate actively in our class and various activities organized by the landlord, his family became a member of our team, we worship and they couple like a big family with meals, chat, party, with the exception of wheelchairs, I hardly think that he is a person with mobility impairments. In my eyes, Andrew was an able person, handy, self-reliance (hehe). Think of these, I remember last year attracted the attention of the Beijing Olympics, I had the privilege to serve as volunteers participated in the Olympic and Paralympic Games. During the Paralympics, I work in Paralympic Village, witnessed a Paralympic team of high-quality services, in particular the opening and closing ceremonies, hundreds of bus stops in the Paralympic village of Central thoroughfare, disabled athletes in order to start the scenes boarding. But I also remember, that a few hundred cars since stepped in pedal cannot allow wheelchair free up and down ramps, specially tailored and our specialized training for disabled athletes how to take care of both interest and do not let them feel themselves and others, and so on, I think, in the treatment of disabled people's attitudes and services, we have a long way to go. Go.
