It seems that more and more places are having wheelchair ramps in the main cities in UK, however a lot of other places which are not a certain radius of the "town centre" does not seems to have any improvement done for wheelchair accessibility, especially lack of wider paths and wheelchair ramps.
I personally did not used to notice, until in the recently years, when my auntie had to use a wheelchair to move about, did I notice that there are actually quite a lot of things to be done for people moving around in wheelchairs, which are not done to give accessibility to wheelchair users. "Maybe", I think to myself, "one day someone will do something about it".
Then I did research on the topic wheelchair accessibility, and found out that actually there are quite a lot of inventions which is especially targetted for wheelchair users. Vans, lifts, and the best thing I believe is the invention of the portable wheelchair ramp.
This invention is definitely the key to accessibility and mobility anytime anywhere. Instead of asking yourself when "someone" is going to do make it easier for wheelchair access, bring your own solution to wherever you go. It is so much easier.
But what is the criteria of a reliable wheelchair ramp?? Well after doing some research, I create a blog, to list How to choose a good wheelchair ramp. The website is at wheelchair ramps.
