Sadly, I agree some towns are grossly inaccessible. This is partly architectural but too often attitudinal, a point you make quite well. I would like to think that wheelchair access in small town Vermont is like a game of dominoes--one accessible town will lead to another. Another variable is that I am a tourist and keeping people like me is key to Vermont's economic success. Perhaps a resident perspective is different.william Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223601480542461802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-48482303372364853642008-12-22T11:06:00.000-08:002008-12-22T11:06:00.000-08:00As a wheelchair user currently living in Vermont, ...As a wheelchair user currently living in Vermont, I wish that I had the same experiences you do.

I should not have to point out obvious problems almost 20 years after the ADA was passed into law. This lack of knowledge highlights that access is not valued. As for my son, he has the unique ability to reduce complex issues to a single sentence. I often wonder how I as a social scientist spawned a young man who uses an economy of words and loves the hard sciences.william Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223601480542461802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-81824171948202944072008-12-05T22:57:00.000-08:002008-12-05T22:57:00.000-08:00I enjoyed reading this story this week--it's the s...I enjoyed reading this story this week--it's the same attitude I had as an abled; show me the way, and I'll do it.
