Disabilities Awareness Month: On the Way to We are Metro

RantWoman gets to observe National, urk International Disability Awareness Lifetime. RantWoman invites her reading public to help her observe National Disabilities Awareness Month. Start with the following two links:


Seattle identified by New Mobility magazine as Disability Friendly City, friendly to people in wheelchairs.
http://www.newmobility.com/2013/10/disability-friendly-cities-7-places-worth-effort/

This site looks like a great resource for people of many different disabilities who use wheelchairs. The website is screen reader friendly, by which the content RantWoman can read with her screen reader is well-behaved and sensible. RantWoman has done nothing to investigate whether there is content sh is missing because of some interaction of content presentation and RantWoman's technology level.



The Metro Matters Blog

RantWoman recommends this blog because of promises that this month there will be several contributions including an opening greeting from the transit advisory commission about courtesy aboard Metrobuses, how to make rides more pleasant for everyone and other concepts the commission hopes will evoke a tsunami-scale outbreak of enhanced courtesy among everyone aboard the bus, passengers, bus operators, as well hopefully as other drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians...



Finally, a really interesting career transition resource that popped up in the search engine when RantWoman was looking for the Disabilities Awareness campaign mentioned above.

Ah! The perfect opportunity to note that sometimes National Disabilities Awareness Month gets observed as, paraphrasing, National Employment of People with Disabilities Awareness Month! Read on!
